The actress recalled meeting Doherty when she was 15 years old after they were cast as Donna Martin and Brenda Walsh, respectively, on the series.

“We were young,” Spelling continued. “We let a lot of outside and inside influences influence our friendship. In a world where we often don’t get to make up with the childhood friendships that formed so much of the adult you become, we got that chance.”

Spelling noted that she’s “grateful” that the twosome “got to go back in time as adult friends and remember why we truly loved each other to begin with.”

Spelling concluded, “Shan… I’ll carry the torch on. Take on my power! And, I’ll stay rebellious for you. Love you with all my heart. Always. 🖤💔.”
