Gee, things on 90210 sure are hotting up - like last week, when that person did that thing to that person? Wow. OK, we admit it. We haven't watched any of 90210, and nobody else has either. But that's all about to change, because 90210's knight in shining armour is charging over the horizon to resurrect its ratings - that's right, Shannen Doherty is returning to the show! According to the woman herself, Shannen Doherty is set to appear in the 90210 season finale. Finally, someone with enough star power to hold down a supporting part in a 2007 made-for-TV Christmas movie. You're saved, 90210! Saved!
Despite everything we've said, alluded to or thought over the last six months, we're thrilled that Beverly Hills 90210 is coming back. Really. Why? Because new Beverly Hills 90210 makes a clean break from the past. It's banished all the pastel sweaters and pouffy hair of the old Beverly Hills 90210 and brought in a brand new team of youngsters who underline just how completely brand new the brand new Beverly Hills 90210 is. It's brand new, you know. So who's the biggest star of this super-new, bleeding-edge Beverly Hills 90210? Um, Shannen Doherty. Off the old Beverly Hills 90210. But it's not all cripplingly pointless news, because now she's famous again, Shannen Doherty gets to put the record straight about a fight she didn't have with Jennie Garth more than a decade ago. Whew!
It must be an epic ride being Tori Spelling - living the trials, tribulations and... trials again of a Hollywood superstar. Well, it would be if she actually did anything worthwhile ever, instead of just getting knocked up and kind of lingering around, like that person at a party you kind of know but don't want to talk to but at the same time don't want to ask to leave as that would be far too rude. Even though they're standing there, people are staring and it's killing the funtime vibe - you're ruining the party, Tori Spelling. Get out. Ahem. It would seem that this is the exact attitude favoured by the execs behind the remake of Beverly Hills 90210 - imaginatively titled 90210 - who appear to have asked Tori to leave the TV party. Maybe it didn't quite happen like that, but we're trying to fit this in with quite a poorly-thought out and stretched analogy. Hush down.
The new Beverly Hills 90210 started shooting this week, and we're so excited that we literally can't breathe - literally, it's quite uncomfortable.
Actually we're just pulling your leg. We're not excited at all. We're old enough to remember what Beverly Hills 90210 was like last time around - a pastel-shaded faux-aspirational thump through the lives of several guffawing non-entities who all thought they were at the exact centre of the universe because their chinos were quite expensive. It was dreadful.
But don't worry if you can't remember what the original Beverly Hills 90210 was like, because the new Beverly Hills 90210 looks set to be exactly the same. Even down to the cast members - as well as the inevitable role for Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty is rumoured to appear as well. And maybe Jason Priestley, too, so long as he can get someone to cover his shifts holding up that Golf Sale sign.
