RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: I keep hearing that the new 90210 show-runner isn’t planning on having any more characters from the original show on the reboot. Does that go for Jennie Garth, too? I can understand why having an old-school character pop up randomly just to boost ratings could get lame after a while, but Kelly is so integrated at this point they’d need to explain her absence if they weren’t going to have her back. It seems crazy to send her packing. Jennie Garth is the best thing about the new show. Thanks!—Nic

Matt Roush: My understanding from my in-house 90210 expert (I’m going on record as a first-season dropout) is that Jennie Garth is staying put. As you said, Kelly’s integral to the remake’s premise. What I guess you’ll see less of are the stunt drop-bys, and that’s probably a wise choice.
