Exclusive: '90210' Scoop on Tori Spelling & Jason Priestley
Last night, The CW threw a 90210 party at Kokomo Cafe -- the location of the very first 21st Century Peach Pit scenes (paparazzi attention forced producers to build a replica of the cafe on set) -- and I was pleasantly surprised to see Mr. Jason Priestley in attendance. Though he hasn't yet begun directing his episode of the show, he came by to chat with reporters and meet some of the cast members he'll be shepherding come next week. He's clearly looking forward to the experience. When I asked him about the script he's working with, he smiled and said genuinely, it's gonna be really cool. I couldn't get him to spill any details, but I did uncover a few facts via other sources: Jason
will be directing hour 18, an episode focusing on Silver and some sort of major freak out she's having. Word is, she'll disappear after issues with Dixon arise and she'll be under great mental duress. In fact, I'm hearing she ends up under doctors' care at Cedars Sinai Hospital for some reason.
But the best news? Insiders tell me that Donna Martin's (Tori Spelling) return to the 90210 scene will likely have something to do with Silver's breakdown, seeing as Silver is her sister-in-law... (oh, yeah!) And you know what that means, Donna and David must still be together! My heart is warmed by this news, you too?
Now, I don't yet know whether or not Tori/Donna will show up in time for Jason's 90210-2.0 directing debut, but I've got my fingers crossed for her surprise arrival by the end of ep 18. One thing I do know for sure, J.P. will definitely be working with his former TV flame Jennie Garth and her TV mom Ann Gillespie, who is making a return appearance. Now if only we could get the notorious Brian Austin Green on board...

Thanks for the news! I added it to my fansite, fansof90210.com!
I read somewhere that Silver is bi polar
I was never really a fan, I was too old for my age and was watching KNOTS LANDING instead (it did overlap years didn't it?)
However, in later years I've sort of adored Tori in small doses. Her turn in the gay indie film TRICK is perhaps her finest acting. So, I'll likely watch a few minutes of 2.0 when she is on.
Oh and regarding the 24 twist from yesterday?
SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR THOSE BEHIND ON YOUR DVR --
If by huge twist you meant Tony was really undercover? I smelled that a mile away. I'm a bit iffy so far on this season after the first 4 hours. The only thing I didn't call was Chloe's return. I was sure Janis would die somehow and Jack would be like "I know somebody" -- so it was humorous to see Janis and Chloe play tech Battleship. I still feel like Janis is cannon fodder. This show is just predictable that way.
If the freak out is part of a bipolar disorder I hope they do it with care and comp***ion. I would hate for them to make it cartoonish. But yay on the Tori front!
