'BH90210': Fox's '90210' reboot takes TV nostalgia to a new level
LA TimesLike most attempts at wrangling old friends for a gathering, this one started with a group text. “We felt like we needed something different because everyone’s doing reboots,” says Garth, seated next to Spelling during a break from shooting on a recent day. Green can’t help but poke fun at it all while making a dash to the food truck near the sound stage during a break for lunch: “Nobody’s going to watch this,” he says playfully. “The first time I heard about it, I was like, ‘It’s not gonna be what I want it to be,’”says Green, 40, who now lives in New York. Carteris says Luke Perry, who played brooding bad boy Dylan McKay, floated the idea of a reunion when “people weren’t ready to go back,” and Ziering says he tried to get everyone back together for a project timed to Sept. 2, 2010 that would have involved a dinner and cameras set up around a house: “My pitch fell on deaf ears,” he says.
