I'm so psyched. It'll probably suck, but I'm just glad Brenda will be back! sorry i didnt just link it, but you'll get over it, im sure.
TV's favorite ZIP code is gearing up for a comeback. Beverly Hills, 90210 will bring together its infamous alumni for a 10-year reunion special next month.
Among the actors making an appearance on Fox's Beverly Hills, 90210: 10-Year High School Reunion May 11 are some you'd never imagine--specifically Shannen Doherty, who left under a dark cloud (and was blurred out of a 1996 retrospective)--and others you know wouldn't miss the get-together, including Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, Jennie Garth and Gabrielle Carteris.
But the Peach Pit party is missing several VIPs. The most glaring absence is Tori Spelling, who played good girl Donna Martin. (Even her pops, Aaron, came back as an exec producer on this special.) Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green are also among the regulars MIA.

Fox would not comment on anyone's absence but a spokesman said final details could change before shooting begins Friday.
But, according to her publicist, Spelling's busy with two pilots, movies and a play and definitely won't be attending. The rep also downplayed rumors that Spelling was sitting out the special because of a rift with Doherty.
"Tori loved her time on the show. She loves the cast, but has since moved on," CeCe Yorke tells E! "It's nothing personal, just that times have changed."
During the special, actors will reminisce about the days when they were teen idols and speculate on the moment they were pigeonholed for the rest of their lives, or, as the Fox news release puts it, they'll "discuss how the show has impacted their careers," accompanied by plenty of favorite scenes. There'll even be interviews with Brenda and Brandon's folks, Jim and Cindy Walsh (played by James Eckhouse and Carol Potter).
The teen soap, Fox's longest-running drama yet, said goodbye to the kids of West Beverly in 2000 after 10 years of scheming, backstabbing, implants, eating disorders and good ol' fashioned teen sex (or Donna's lack thereof).
Hard to imagine then that the series, which put a fledgling Fox on the map and introduced us to vixens like Doherty and Tiffani Thiessen (not on the RSVP list), was originally a critical dud with low expectations.
But fans tuned in every week to watch pale-faced Minnesota twins Brandon (Priestley) and Brenda (Doherty) negotiate the bizarre local customs in sunny Southern California. In its heyday, the show drew 20 percent of the nation's teen viewers. By the end, however, Brenda and Brandon were long gone, and the show was only averaging 7.9 million viewers per week.
