Luke Perry will not strap on the old squint-and-sideburns again to appear on the CW's 90210 spin-off/remake/co-branding. "I can't re-imagine it currently," the erstwhile Dylan McKay quipped in an interview with Billy Bush on his radio show.
Perry's former West Bev cohorts Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling have signed on to reprise their roles on the new show, and Jason Priestley may end up behind the camera directing an ep or two. You have to assume that, if the producers asked, Ian Ziering, Brian Austin Green, and/or Tiffani Thiessen would stop by the new Peach Pit for a bite. But, for me, the real "get" would be a Shannen Doherty-Luke Perry twofer. Wouldn't it be awesome to have those two show up — straight from London or wherever they shipped Brenda off to — newly married and shoving their contemptuous passion in Kelly's smug face? I bet Kelly wouldn't "choose me" then!
But no. It seems that Perry won't be tempted by Kelly Taylor's siren song again: "It's just not something that I've thought about, to be honest. I don't see it happening," he told Bush. Boo, Dylan!
What do you think? Do you like the idea that these familiar faces will be popping up, or should the CW let its "re-imagining" stand on its own two well-pedicured feet? — Mickey O'Connor
