Producers want Jennie Garth over Tori Spelling for 90210 spinoff role

Ssssspoilers!

Annabelle in Toronto, Ontario: Is Tori Spelling gonna be on the 90210 spinoff or what?

Tori's been telling everyone that she's down to reprise her role as Donna Martin, but insiders tell me Jennie Garth is the girl Rob Thomas wants. Sadly for Thomas, Jennie just booked a CBS pilot, but it's possible she could do both since CBS and the CW are in the same family. I say they should bring Tori on either way. Me loves me some Donna Martin.

Phil in Fresno, Calif.: Any more info on the 90210 spinoff?!

I got a sneak peek at parts of the pilot script and, let me tell you, there was many a pop-culture reference in it. Actually, it reminded me a little of Ellen Page's SNL monologue Watch with Kristin - Spoiler Chat: HIMYM, 90210, OTH and Office Scoop!

If it was up to me, I'd say bring back all the original characters. I grew up with this show, I'm very fond of everyone who was on it, especially in the first couple of series. AND Dylan McKay was my first love!

I say leave it well alone.

How come Gabrielle C ain't getting no love!

^^ I wanted Andrea to hook up with Brandon so badly.

I guess everyone still hates Shannen Doherty.

I love Shannon!!!!

She's badass!

I think Shannon has gotten a lot nicer since the 90210 days. She couldn't have been that insufferable on Charmed and stayed with the series for so long

Ingi the comparison pictures are hilarious.

What does Rob Thomas (the dude from Matchbox 20 right?) have to do with this??

He was producing Veronica Mars and now needs a new gig I think...

Weirdness in the heavens I guess.

Never connected him doing something so Aaron Spellinglike. Learn something new everyday. Thanks Ingi.

This is the same Rob Thomas that was having sex with Tom Cruise??? I'm so confused.

Save for one show, the CW is ridiculous. 9021-Oh why oh why must we bring this back? Let's bring back Saved by the Bell and California Dreams while we're at it.

Rob is politely trying to let Tori know no one wants to see a bloated dromedary on their screens, unless they are watching an Animal Planet documentary.

Well DUH they would rather have Kelly back than Donna.

More attractive? Most certainly. More interesting? Yes. Aged better? I should say so.

No brainer.
