Jennie Garth Joins 90210 Spinoff -- It's Official!

Jennie Garth, an original cast member of Beverly Hills, 90210, has snagged herself a recurring role (not a regular one) on the CW’s new spinoff of 90210.

Garth, 36, will be reprising her role as Kelly Taylor but will play a guidance counselor at her alma mater, West Beverly High. Former 90210 stars Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering are also out to secure roles in the new spinoff.

Last month, Jennie abruptly dropped out of the CBS comedy pilot, My Best Friend’s Girl.

Also last month, AnnaLynne McCord and Dustin Milligan joined the 90210 spinoff.

Other additions to the show’s grown-up cast include Lori Laughlin (Summerland) and Jessica Walter (Arrested Development).
