Shannen Doherty, one of the original 90210 cast members, will be returning to the show when it is relaunched later this year. The directors of the new TV show asked Doherty to come back on, but the actress has yet to commit.

Torrie Spelling, on the other hand, doesn't want to revive her character for “personal reasons.â€
