Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty: The Entertainment Weekly Interview

at .

Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty grace the cover of the latest Entertainment Weekly.

Inside, there's an interview with the reunited 90210 co-stars. Here are excerpts from it, as the actresses dish on the differences between the new series and the original:

EW: For the new 90210, you were both involved with determining where Kelly and Brenda were in their lives. Jennie, the producers initially wanted Kelly to be a West Beverly Hills High School board member, right? How did she become a guidance counselor?
GARTH: I didn’t want to be on the show for no reason. I wanted to have some value. When Gabe and [exec producer] Jeff [Judah] told me some of the things they were doing, I was like, ”Whoa. That is not 90210, people.” They were trying to educate me [about] how teens are in high school today. It was so shocking to me that I thought I should bring a positive spin somehow. Of course, I have yet to guide or counsel anyone.
DOHERTY: I think they must have told you the same things they told me.

EW: What kinds of things?
DOHERTY: All I know is there’s a girl giving a guy a b— job in the first episode.
GARTH: When they told me that, I thought, Aaron Spelling is rolling over in his grave right now.

I saw him kissing that barefoot surfer chick. Apparently, he likes the smell of BO.
