Brenda Walsh might have inappropriately slept with Ryan. And she might be coming down with a disease when 90210 returns from hiatus on January 6.

But the beloved character won't be laid to rest, cast members have assured Marc Malkin of E! Online.

“They’re not killing off her character,” Shenae Grimes, who plays Annie Wilson, said over the weekend.  “Do you understand the havoc that would wreak among the people? It would be horrible.”

Dustin Milligan, who portrays Annie's boyfriend Ethan Ward, agrees with his co-star.

“I don’t think the CW would wanna kill anybody,” the actor said. “[Brenda’s] definitely not going like that."
