There hasn't been a show as hotly anticipated as the 90210 revamp since last year's Knight Rider. (You heard me.) And as we wait with bated breath wondering about the casting fate of teen counseling sensation and all around Losing My Religion-loving Brenda, let's catch up with some former cast members to see how life is treating them.

The upcoming remake of Beverly Hills: 90210 is continuing the process of putting its out-of-work alumni back in business. Spurned by producers for just being her normal bratty self back in 1994, Shannen Doherty is reportedly in talks to join Jennie Garth and return the characters that launched each of them into the zeitgeist back in the early `90s. But despite Shannen and Jennie's overenthusiastic acknowledgment that they’ve got nothing better to do, not every cast member is so eager to pull the trigger and willingly euthanize their own careers. Which stars are only contributing to the remake in off-screen roles, and which are phoning in Hell Nos from Italy as they shoot far more important Hallmark Channel movies, after the jump.

So the upcoming Beverly Hills: 90210 spin-off/remake, ingeniously titled 90210, may be adding yet another original cast member to its ranks. Jennie Garth, who played the pondering Kelly Taylor, and Tori Spelling, who played virginal mule Donna Martin, are both signed on for recurring roles in the new iteration. Fans have been speculating that, much in the same way the highly popular Degrassi reboot (on which one of the new 90 kids, Shenae Grimes, starred) brought back several adult versions of its predecessor's characters, there would be even more o.g. additions as the show lumbered toward its fall debut. And indeed a third familiar face may be greeting us when West Bev reopens its doors on September 2nd. It's one of your favorite guys. He was cool, funny, had a sparkle in his eye. Find out who it is, after the jump.

When we first heard the idea of a reimagined Beverly Hills: 90210, we believed it would be impossible to recreate the teary, teenybop magic of the original series. Who could possibly sneer like Luke Perry? Or turn the world on with his smile like Jason Priestley? But the Rob "Not Matchbox 20 Rob" Thomas-produced spinoff slated for CW's upcoming fall season is charging full-speed ahead, leaking news of potential cast members burdened with the challenge of filling our favorite Peach Pit regulars' Reeboks. Though recent casting announcements have been less than thrilling, two new additions have us busting out our dusty 90210 drinking game rule book once again. As E! News reports, "Producers for the CW's 90210 remake have reached out to Hilary [Duff] to offer her a starring role in the series." News on the other confirmed West Beverly students, plus which alum from the original has signed on to reprise their old role, after the jump.
