Sexually assaulted, burned in a fire and brainwashed by a cult. And that's just off the top of my head. Kelly Taylor went through a lifetime's worth of fun stuff back in the 90s during Beverly Hills, 90210's original 10-year run. And now, she's back for more. Yeah, baby...

The CW has just confirmed that Jennie Garth will be the first original 90210 cast member to reprise her role on the spin off series, which is set for a Fall debut.

What's up with Kelly these days? She'll be a high school guidance counselor at West Bev High, who we'll see from time to time, advising the show's new kids on the block.

Would it be more interesting if Brenda Walsh were the familiar face back in the old zip code? Yeah, probably. But I hear Shannen Doherty hasn't been approached. Hmmm, wonder why...

You guys cool with this new 9-0 development? Get your comment on below.

please don't put spoiler stuff on the front page. You guys were so good about keeping it hidden. Please don't become tv guide and spoil everything the moment we visit. Thank you

casting news is hardly a spoiler. I'm cool with Garth coming back, but I hope they don't mess with the ending of the original series by changing how the lives of everyone turned out.

What spoiler stuff are you talking about, Chris? No one knows what you're talking about. I agree with Emily about them not changing how the lives of everyone turned out, but I'm also really glad they r bringing the old characters back. I hope we see more. Ian, Brian, Luke, Tori and Jason for sure.

OMG I stumbled on to you today. Korbi, it hasn't been that long but oh how I've missed you! Even though I'm working on a Saturday this just made everything better! I'm so glad to have you back in my favorites!

I am totally thrilled about this. This is very cool. Of course, I think my heart would pretty much burst if Brenda and Dylan showed up, too...

So so pysched to have Kelly Taylor back but it makes me laugh to think that in the decade since college, she's been a boutique owner, a public relations executive, a healthcare administrator and now a guidance counselor? And I'm sure I'm forgetting some other career she may have explored...

Now that Jenni's signed on, I may watch this show after all. Hopefully they'll make it a little for the first generation who watched it (me included). I'd love to see Kelly and Brandon married on the show! :-)

Jennie to "star" on 90210. Not really. A recurring character is not really a star of a show if you ask me.

I am excited she will be on it. I just wish she was Kelly Walsh.

Seriously?? Can they have Kelly without Donna?? I am excited 90210 is coming back I have to say that I am one of the true DIEHard fans from the 90's. I would really like to see how they fill in the missing years for Kelly and if they will somehow lets us in on where the original 90210 kids are now that they are 30 and up.
If they brought back Jason Priestly back I think I would just faint. When I heard it was coming true I thought I was gonna faint from happiness. I loved this show. I just hope that they really do a great job with this. 90210 will always be my favorite show of all time.
