Is That You Brenda?

In his new Ausiello Files column for EW.com, Michael Ausiello reported today that Shannen Doherty is “in formal talks” to reprise her star-making role of Brenda Walsh in The CW’s remake of Beverly Hills, 90210.

Ausiello says the producers behind 90210, recently met with Hollywood’s infamous hellraiser to gauge her interest in returning to the zip code from which she was banished in 1994. And, whaddya know, she is interested.

“But,” Ausiello’s insider said, “she wants to know what the story is going to be first.” And she also wants more money than they’re offering. (Doherty’s former – and future? – co-stars, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling already are attached to the remake.)

I always thought original-flavor 90210 never was the same after Brenda left for London, so I’m extremely curious to find out what she’s been up to all these years. And it’s always a treat to see Doherty, one of my favorites, on the tube.
