Jennie Garth Joins '90210' Spinoff

LOS ANGELES — The wild kids of television's West Beverly High will have a guidance counselor familiar with the posh ZIP code's dating, drugs and drama.

Jennie Garth will reprise her role as Kelly Taylor and join the cast of a planned "Beverly Hills, 90210" spinoff on CW.

She won't be a regular but will play a guidance counselor at her alma mater, the Hollywood Reporter said in a story published online Saturday.

Garth, 36, departed the CBS comedy pilot "My Best Friend's Girl" last month.

(This version CORRECTS that 'My Best Friend's Girl' is done by CBS and is not Canadian.)

WOW! They busted her out of assisted living. Now if only they can get the rest of the geezers to join.

Geez...I hope brandon and dylan and the rest of the gang will be back. Can't wait to see them hangin' at the peach pit talkin' a bout the good old days.

And lord knows tori spelling could use a buck or two since mommy dearest cut her off from the mother load.

Talk about potential that never was. Jennie could have been a success elsewhere . . .

Brandon went on to direct, race cards and fall in love with The Barenaked Ladies.

Steve went on to star in a bad movie where he played an Irish guy who could kick major ass.

Dylan went on to ride bulls.

David went on to B-rated flicks and a failed music career.

Donna went on to horrible made for TV movies, a canyon between her boobs and marriage.

Andrea went on to TV movies as well.

Valerie is best known for the TV show she did before 90210 and her marriage to Zack Morris.

Brenda went on to a moderately successful TV show career post 90210 which she pissed away.

Isn't this "spinoff" sort of, like, I dunno, over 10 years off from being successfully marketable?

OK, no spam here...Jennie's a hottie, pure and simple.


Good for you Jennie, best of luck to your new show.
