Garth continued, “The producer was a friend of a friend, and I remember he came over in my living room, sat me down, [billed it as] this chance of a lifetime. He asked me to do it, and I didn’t know how to say no then. But the people were very nice and all the best to them.”
For their roles, Carteris said she “never wanted” to join the reboot, which lasted five seasons. “I was so shocked they were doing a new show. I was like, is it like, they long so much you’re just going to try to reinvent it over and over?” Green also added, “No offense at all, it’s, to me, we did 10 years of that show and it’s like OK, done.”

Beverly Hills, 90210 was created by Darren Star and ran for 10 seasons beginning in 1990. The series centered on a group of friends as they leave high school in Beverly Hills and enter college and beyond. In addition to Garth, Carteris, Green, and Ziering, the teen drama starred Jason Priestley , the late Shannen Doherty , Luke Perry , and Tori Spelling .
The hit series spawned numerous spinoffs, including Melrose Place , Models Inc. , 90210 , and Fox ’s one-season BH90210 .
While Garth, Doherty, and Spelling were the only original cast members involved in 90210 , the panelists shared that when BH90210 was canceled, it was an “impactful” moment for them.
“I was pretty much the only outspoken person saying I think we should give the audience what they want: comfort food,” said Ziering.
Carteris, however, described the experience as being “cathartic.” She continued, “It felt full circle, to be together as adults, having had our children, being able to work together. I thought it was probably one of those most impactful moments of my life.”
