Jason Priestley, is Beverly Hills, 90210's original heartthrob, I remember him well. He will now get behind the cameras and direct an episode of the new series. Priestley's onscreen sister, Shannen Doherty is making a deal to return to the series for two episodes later this season. Sources said "She's coming back. The deal isn't officially done, but it's happening." Meanwhile the show's executive producer, Gabe Sachs, would only reveal that Doherty is "in talks" as mentioned by PEOPLE.
Jason is very excited and looking forward to his terrific come back and reunion with 90210. "I'm really looking forward to it," Priestley told Ryan Seacrest during a call-in Friday to the talk show host's KIIS-FM radio show. "It's going to be a lot of fun to go over there and work with all those guys." "Priestley says returning to direct the spin-off is a no-brainer: "It kind of fits like a glove, really." He mentioned "I just hope that Jennie's in the episode that I do, or that Shannen's there, that'd be fun for me." I was a big fan of the old 90210, l wonder if l will catch on to this new one. I did watch one eposide the other week and thought it was ok. Also was l dreaming, but l can swear Shannen was on the show?
