Back in March, Fox announced that they picked up 90210 with most of the original cast members from Beverly Hills, 90210. The only two who were missing were Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry. We know that Dylan will not be in it, but today we found that Brenda is back with her classmates Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling.
Or as I would like to say the bitch is back and now we have a reason to watch the docudrama that is not a reboot. Instead, the actors are playing themselves trying to get a revival made. How they thought they could do that without Doherty is beyond me. She is the most interesting one of them all. Which finally makes the 6-episode event interesting to watch this summer on Fox.
Before Luke Perry went to high school with the undead in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, his HS was full of a different type of undead in Twisted Sister’s Be Chrool to Your Scuel. The 18-year-old truly stands out while sitting down in that 1985 music video.
Luke Perry passed away today at the age of 52 just days after suffering a massive stroke. His publicist told Good Morning America, “He was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends
“The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning. No further details will be released at this time.”
In 1992, women fell in love with Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90210 and men wanted to be him. His was like a reincarnation of James Dean, effortlessly cool. From that moment on, he never stopped acting.
He did several disaster movies like Scorcher, Supernova and Final Storm along with some Westerns. His biggest movie, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will forever be adored by teens.
He could never get away from being that person that teenagers would admire. His last role is on The CW’s Riverdale. This time the eternal teenager played the dad of one. Something he knew oh too well because he has two kids of his own.
Today, let’s honor the man that we either wanted to be or be with by watching one of his many roles. He will forever be that suave guy that stood out in a crowd.
You can watch a few of his movies and 90210 on TubiTV for free.
Luke Perry is hospitalized after reportedly suffering a major stroke. According to TMZ, paramedics rushed to his Sherman Oaks home yesterday morning, and we do not know how he is doing today.
The 52-year-old is currently starring as Archie’s dad on The CW’s Riverdale. I am not sure if the drama has wrapped production for the season. If it has not, then how will that affect the show.
None of that matters, as long as Dylan McKay is OK. On that note, because of his Riverdale schedule, he was not expected to be a major part of the Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot on Fox this summer. Although, he is supposed to be on it. Hopefully, he can still be part of it.
UPDATE: TMZ is reporting that Perry is sedated. Sources also told them that he was responsive and talking when paramedics got to his house, but his condition deteriorated on his way to the hospital.

Fox announced today that 6 original members of Beverly Hills, 90210 are sort of revising their roles for 6 episodes this summer.
Sort of? Well according to Fox, it’s about, “Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, Jason Priestly, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling reunite when one of them suggests it’s time to get a ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ reboot up and running. But getting it going may make for an even more delicious soap than the reboot itself. What will happen when first loves, old romances, friends and frenemies come back together, as this iconic cast – whom the whole world watched grow up together – attempts to continue from where they left off?”
This could either go really well or really badly. Thinking about it, the latter would be so much better. Which could be why Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry are not part of it.
If they want to make really good, then they should get Douglas Emerson to be part of it. Who is he? He played Scott Scanlon, David’s friend who committed suicide during the first season. He can be begging to be part of the show and they are like your character is dead.
