The new
90210 has yet to air but it's already created a tremendous amount of buzz. The return of actresses
Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth from the original series has made news, as well as Luke Perry's words that he won't be coming back and
Jason Priestley letting the world know he'd be available to direct.
But what about Brenda?
Well, in his new perch at
Entertainment Weekly, Michael Ausiello reports that his sources -- producers
Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah -- have confirmed that Miss Shannen Doherty is in formal talks to join 90210 in her original role, Brenda Walsh.

Actress Lori Laughlin believes that any cast reunion that takes place on
90210 will most certainly not include Shannen Doherty. In the OK Magazine article, the actress is quoted as saying "I don't think anyone wants to touch that."
Doherty has a history of rancor between herself and the cast and crew around her. She left
Beverly Hills 90210 after four years, and the departure was pretty acrimonious. When she later joined the cast of
Charmed (also produced by Aaron Spelling), she left after three years due to supposed problems with her co-star Alyssa Milano.
On the other hand, according to Laughlin, the door is still open for other cast members such as Luke Perry and Jason Priestley.
Tori Spelling is already reported to be appearing in the pilot.
Nothing makes a spin-off official like having original cast members in it. It seems a shame that Shannen Doherty keeps shooting herself in the foot like this.

Let's hear it for second chances.
90210 is looking like a reunion as well as a new series.
It seems that Tori Spelling is making a cameo is the first episode. She will speak a few lines to the new cast of teen girls at the local mall. She joins
Jennie Garth as a cast member from the original series that will be appearing in the new one. Considering that her father produced the original series, I'm surprised it took her so long to sign on.

And
90210 makes the news again this week! But I don't mind because I can never get enough
Bevelry Hills, 90210 (or
Bev as I affectionately call it).
Ian Ziering will be developing webisodes with social-networking titan MySpace. These web shorts will be based on
Man Vs. Monday, a film Ziering directed, produced and even starred in two years ago. The webisodes will be about an office slacker who has trouble getting through his Mondays after his crazy weekends.
Why the choice to develop the shows with MySpace? "In the entertainment industry there remains one constant: change. I believe the digital world presents tremendous opportunities for the producers who understand it, and I am launching a digital production company, iMan Productions, to take advantage of this opportunity," Ziering told a press conference. Is he on to something here?
Ziering will also star opposite Heather Graham and Jerry O'Connell in the comedy
Baby on Board to be released later this year.

Word on the street yesterday was that the
90210 spin-off
executive producers were thinking of actor Rob Estes to portray Harry Mills, a father who relocates his family in Beverly Hills to take care of his alcoholic mother. The show had yet to find an actor to play the pivotal role and they were now getting ready to just hand it on a silver platter to a "name" actor.
The stars quickly aligned (read here that Rob Estes became available since ABC canceled
Women's Murder Club) and
the actor will join the already beautiful 90210 cast.

Earlier this week, The CW released
this promotional picture of the
90210 regular cast. From left to right: Dustin Milligan, AnnaLynne McCord,
Jessica Walter, Shenae Grimes,
Tristan Wilds,
Lori Loughlin, Ryan Eggold, Jessica Stroup and Michael Steger.
If you've been keeping up with
information about the spin-off, you know that there is someone missing from that picture. No, it's not
Jennie Garth or
Tori Spelling since they will be recurring/guest stars. But it's the actor who'll play the pivotal character of Harry Mills, a father who relocates his family in Beverly Hills to take care of his mother.

Hi, I'm Debbie and I'm a closet
Saved by the Bell fan. Whew, it felt good to finally admit that. C'mon, who's going to be big and brave and confess to watching
Saved by the Bell every Saturday morning when they were in high school (OK, maybe college too)? Stand tall!
So here we are, some 15-20 years later (and as I look at the dates I shamefully admit I was in college, not high school!) and AOL TV has decided to ingratiate us thirty-somethings and let us know
what the original cast members have been up to all of these years, and currently.
I knew Zack, er, I mean
Mark-Paul Gosselaar, had a stint on NYPD Blue, but it is nice to know that he'll be starring in a new legal drama on TNT this year.

Ok, it is after midnight here in the Jet City, and as I sit down to bang this post out on my beloved Model M it would appear that my tasty glass of juice is half empty. Maybe I'm just not in the right frame of mind to spin this news in a positive direction that will lead to a 2009 full of Dollhouse win.
Tucked away in a report on various network goings on over at Hollywood Reporter is a little line that says "Dollhouse is expected to launch mid-season." This is me shaking my fist in the general direction of Fox and screaming "Khaaaaan!" Just, because. Doesn't this seem like a road that has been traveled before? It's one that usually leads to a pretty disappointing destination. We haven't seen the finished fall schedule yet, but I would wager that most of us could easily find three or four hours where the network would be better served by inserting Dollhouse. Highlights of what the networks have planned are available after the jump.

It's a step up from Baltimore. Tristan Wilds, who played Michael on
The Wire, is
playing the male lead in the 90210 spinoff. Wilds will take on the role of Dixon, the adopted son of the Harry and Celia Mills. The Mills family is shaping up to be much more entertaining than the Walshes. Jessica Walter and Lori Loughlin have already been cast as the grandmother and mother, respectively. I can't wait to see Michael having family dinner with Lucille Bluth and Becky from
Full House.
In other 90210 casting news, Michael Steger is playing Navid, producer of the West Beverly High's TV news show. I'm not familiar with Steger, but I'm thrilled that Wilds is returning to TV.

Every time I see an image of Rob Thomas I can't help but think, "man, that is one huge neck." Sorry, just had to get that out of the way.
It turns out that the aforementioned tight-tie-wearing director/producer/writer has
decided to pass on heading the Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff series to concentrate more on a couple of other projects, one of which we've already mentioned before:
Cupid and
Good Behavior. Thomas will still be involved with the spinoff show, but only as an executive producer. In fact, the script for the series is being totally rewritten by Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah from
What About Brian (Update: They also wrote for
Freaks & Geeks and
Undeclared). In a nutshell, fans of Rob Thomas won't likely be feeling the Rob Thomas-ness in this series.
This isn't the first time in recent history that Thomas has stepped down from a new series.
The same thing happened with Miss Guided last year, though it's unclear if that show has suffered at all from his departure.

In case you don't already know,
The CW is doing a contemporary update on Beverly Hills 90210 with Rob Thomas (
Veronica Mars,
Dawson's Creek) at the helm. This week,
details were released on exactly what this spin-off is all about. And, let's just say that it already sounds like a lot of teen angst and drama.
The new
90210 is centered around the Mills family, who moves to Beverly Hills from East St. Louis. The patriarch of the family is Harry, a Beverly Hills High alum who moves back to the zip code because his movie star mother has fallen off the wagon. He brings his wife, Celia (a former Olympic athlete) and two teen-age kids, Annie and Dixon, with him. The teens are the same age, 16, because Annie is a biological child and Dixon is adopted.

Rob Thomas, the creator of
Veronica Mars, just
got the go-ahead to make a pilot for ABC. His new show is called
Cupid, about a guy who believes he's a god sent by Zeus to unite 100 couples.
As many of you probably know,
Cupid is actually a throw-back for Thomas-- it's the resurrection of the same series of the same name that lasted 15 episodes on ABC in 1998. The original version starred Jeremy Piven as Cupid (Piven won't be returning to the show). E! network lists the short-lived series as
#4 on the list of Top Ten Shows Canceled Before Their Time.

How good are you at spotting someone's true age? There's been a few times I've caught myself wondering how old that actor really is on TV, when they're playing someone my age and look ten years older. Do I really look that good? Then again, I've seen the opposite and thought, "damn, I am an old decrepit fart." In any case, I'll pull up IMDb and usually find myself in shock of how young/old the actor on-screen really is.
The whole actor-to-character age ratio thing got me curious, so I did a little research (with the help of some of the TV Squad team) and made a list of some of the more extreme and well-known (or, maybe to some, not-so-well-known) examples. By the way, we didn't include actors who played flashback scenes of their characters for short periods of time, as there are more of those than we have room for.
