Get excited, Brenda Walsh fans: OK! can confirm Shannen Doherty has signed on to do more 90210!
“She is back for episodes 11 and 12,” a rep for the hit CW show tells OK!.
The star who made Brenda famous on the original ‘90s Beverly Hills 90210 has electrified fans of the current remake on the CW, returning to the popular zip code earlier this season along with fellow Beverly Hills alum Jennie Garth.
Shannen plays a grown a grown-up version of her old character, an actress who comes back to West Beverly Hills High School as the drama teacher. Originally the star was only slated to appear in a few epsiodes, but fans have been crying out for more.
“I’ve worked for 27 years, steadily, thanks to very loyal fans," she said recently. "What’s the one way to say thank you? To play a character that you thought you’d never play again in the one show they want to see.”
