The reunion never stops. Now,
Joe E. Tata is reviving his role as Nat, the owner of the Peach Pit, for the new version of
90210. His character will be appearing in the pilot. It is uncertain whether the character will have a recurring role within the new series.
"The coin's in the air for me," Tata told The Associated Press. "I guess it comes under the heading of magic test: Let's see if the audience still remembers me."
He joins a reunion of
Jennie Garth,
Tori Spelling, and possibly
Shannon Doherty in the new series.
Jason Priestley has yet to be confirmed.
At this rate, why even bother having new cast members? Aren't having all these original members back expensive enough as it is? I wish every relaunch of a series had so many original cast members involved. Actually, when I think of shows like
Battlestar Galactica, maybe that's not such a good idea.

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.
