The actress, who made her mark as 90210's bad girl dating both Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh, will appear in several episodes as herself on the BH90210 revival series. TVLine's Kimberly Roots reports: "Details about Elise’s arc are under wraps, but we do know that she, too, will play a heightened form of herself. And normally we wouldn’t bring this up, but since the actors are playing themselves (of a sort): Do you think the show will address the fact that Priestley and Elise dated for five years, back in the day?" While Elise only appeared on 12 episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210, "there’s a sense of awe and fondness that goes with the memories of Emily Valentine, something one wouldn’t generally expect for such a 'crazy' character," LaToya Ferguson wrote in a 2015 appreciation of Emily Valentine and interview with Christine Elise. "Part of why she stands out so much is that she was the first one—the first different one," Elise said. "She was the first one that came in that mixed it up at all. You know, there were no other bad guys—she was the new kid in the mix and I think the first one, really, that had any dramatic storyline. I know from what I hear from people in subsequent years that she stood for all the kids that weren’t popular. Whether they felt outside or less than or disenfranchised because they were either, you know, financially separated from the people they knew or they were gay kids or punk rock kids—she stood and held the place in that storyline for a lot of kids."
