    Doherty previously opened up to ET about Luke's legacy when she reprised her iconic role on the Beverly Hills, 90210 reunion series, BH90210, in his honor.

    "I wasn't attached [before Perry's death]... and it wasn't long after he passed that Ifinally was like, 'OK, yes,'" Doherty revealed of joining BH90210 ."Ithought it was going to do well with or without me, to be honest. For me, replaying Brenda was something I said Iwouldn't do twice and I've replayed her now twice, so I guess Icould never say I'm never going to do something again because Iend up doing it."

    Doherty -- who also guest starred on Perry's other project, Riverdale , in honor of the late actor --also spoke ofPerry's impact on the hit '90sseries, proclaimingthat "he was one of the most important parts of 90210 ."

    "For me, I felt like it was honoring him and his memory and what he meant to the audience and the fans and to all of us," she said of returning to therole."As his on-set family, I felt like it was an important time for all of us to come together to honor him."

    Meanwhile, Jennie Garth , who played Kelly on 90210 ,penned an emotional tribute to her late friend.

    "I am still processing my tremendous grief over the loss of my long time friend Shannen, the woman I have often described as one of the strongest people I have ever known. Our connection was real and honest. We were so often pitted against each other but none of that reflected the truth of our real relationship which was one built on mutual respect and admiration," she wrote. "She was courageous, passionate, determined and very loving and generous. I will miss her and will always honor her deeply in my heart and in my memories. My heart breaks for her family and Bowie 💔."
