Jennie Garth Reprising 90210 Role in Spinoff?

April 16, 2008

All set to play the role of the ex-wife in My Best Friend’s Girl, a new CBS pilot, Jennie Garth has abruptly left the project — giving rise to speculation that she’ll instead head back into her Kelly Taylor Beverly Hills, 90210 guise for the spinoff under development for the CW network, says the Hollywood Reporter.

Garth, 36, also has been dealing with the loss of her father, who died after she landed the role in My Best Friend’s Girl. She’ll be replaced by Canadian actress Kristin Booth.

As for 90210, the trade paper says the Taylor character could conceivably return to her alma mater as a teacher of fashion design — a long leap for the one-time spoiled brat of the old series. – Stephen M. Silverman

Hi Jennie,

I am so very sorry to hear of your lost. Did People write the story? I’m sorry for you, and your family. Grief is a terrible thing to go through, I hope your recovery is quick, your memories are plenty and the love around you is everlasting.

Hi Jen,
I grew up watching you in 90210 - and most recently in Dancing with the Stars. I just recently lost a loved one too - actually a couple of love ones. The most hurtful is my 11 year old Niece Lauren. You’re dad lived a full good life. May God give you the strength and support needed in this very difficult time. God Bless

I too am very sorry that her Dad has passed away. I know what that feel likes. But in regards to becoming a teacher on the new “90210″ I think that the more original cast members there are the better the show will be. I love and miss 90210.

I enjoyed watched 90210 and would love to see the spinoff from that show. I just love Jennie Garth and wish her all the best. I was sorry to hear about her father passing away.
