'90210' Exclusive: Jason Priestley's Back...and He's Not Alone! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Beverly Hills’ original sideburned heartthrob is back! Sort of.

Jason Priestley has agreed to do an episode of The CW’s 90210 later this season, but you won’t see him -- he’ll be behind the camera, working as a director. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Priestley will helm this season's 18th episode, which is slated to air this spring.

Meanwhile, a 90210 insider also reveals that Priestley's TV sis, Shannen Doherty, is nearing a deal to return for two more episodes later this season. Executive producer Gabe Sachs would only confirm that she's "in talks," but my 90210 spy insists "she's coming back. The deal isn't officially done, but it's happening."

Might one of Doherty's two episodes be the Priestley-directed installment? Sachs says that's TBD. "I think it would be a kick for Jason to work with any of his [former 90210 costars], and it would also add something special to that episode," he says. "But we don't know whether that will happen yet."

A more likely scenario has Priestley bossing around his other leading lady, Jennie Garth, who's back for at least six episodes -- despite what the actress herself told me at EW's pre-Emmy party last month. "That was a misunderstanding," whispers a source.

I guess he doesn't feel like shaving to actually be in an episode.

I never would have recognized Jason with the beard. He looks so different
from Brandon Walsh (or even Jack, his character on Tru Calling). Tiffani
Thiessen still looks the same, though.

Ugh! He looks awful! It makes his head look too big for his body! LOL
