Since Shannen, Jennie, Tori and even Nat have all agreed to appear on the new 90210, at least one more comeback seemed inevitable. Are you with me here? The show just wouldn’t have been the same without her.
No, not Gabrielle Carteris!
Um, no, not Tiffani Thiessen, either.
Or Kathleen Robertson, Vanessa Marcil or Lindsay Price.
It’s Ann Gillespie!
(Crickets)
She played Kelly’s Mommie Dearest, Jackie Taylor, remember? She married (and divorced) David’s dad, Mel, and had a daughter, Erin, with him. Odd then that the redo’s resident vixen, whose surname and nickname is Silver, is really named Daphne, not Erin. (Update: I’ve just been informed that the character’s name was changed to Erin months ago, so ignore that bit about Daphne. All is right with the world!) Regardless, sources confirm to me semi-exclusively that Gillespie is on board for at least one episode.
So what do you think — are you looking forward to more mother/daughter showdowns between Jackie and Kelly? Or are you still holding out for a return by Carol Potter? Sound off below! (Additional reporting by Andy Patrick)

Is it too late to change Daphne to Erin? They have Erin’s sister and mother on the show and decided to create a “Silver” character, it just doesn’t make sense that she’s not Erin.
How can you and Korbi at Zap2It both have this same info exclusively?
I’ve been saying since day one the show should use Erin as the hook for the spin-off. Are you sure they haven’t changed Daphne to Erin??
How sad is it that when I saw the name Ann Gillespie I knew instantly it was Kelly’s mother before I even read further down? I kind of suffered from a 90210-bsession. I probably should have sought medical help.
“How can you and Korbi at Zap2It both have this same info exclusively?”
This would fit into the scoop category not the exclusive news. Do you always read just half sentences?
I’m definitely going to sample the new 90210.
Um, I read the entire article, and it has been updated to read “semi-exclusively,” but simply said “exclusively” at the time of my original posting. Perhaps you (ToJV) aren’t familiar with the journalistic concept of “exclusive” meaning “a news story at first released to or reported by only ONE source”
It really was an innocent question as I’m sure Ausiello’s sources did lead him to believe it was an exclusive (and ditto for Korbi)… just thought he might to check with his sources about that so his journalistic integrity isn’t compromised
I guess I still don’t understand. Is Kelly’s little sister a character on the show, or what?
Gus, judging from the name changing to Erin, it does seem like one of the main characters will be Kelly’s half-sister, though I’m not sure if this has been officially confirmed
without Gabrielle it won’t be the same!
I want to see David back if Donna is popping in!! Glad they are making it Erin!! That gives a real connection to the original 90210. I loved the original and will check out the 90210, even though I may decide it’s too young for me now
I’m waiting with bated breath for the big Matthew Laurance announcement. Can’t have Jackie without Mel.
More mother/daughter fashion shows!
At first thought, the idea of re-creating 90’s Gold seemed like a good idea, it just keeps getting worse. Whenever I think back to the days of 90210, the very last person I would think of is Anne Gillespie. Wait, didn’t Elise Donovan guest on a few episodes as well? Maybe she should come back……what about Brandon’s crazy ex-girlfriend? If the show doesn’t include all characters, then it’s just a waste of time. I see now why they waited until Aaron Spelling was dead to bring this back- he would have NEVER authorized a half-attempt like this.
what they should do is have them all back as parents or something of that sort and have dylan be married to brenda then kelly pops in the picture again because of Erin and the drama then begins and never ends with the famous triangle! i want copyrights to this if it actually happens people!!!
Interesting Silver’s going to be mini Kelly. Annie’s Brenda with her acting aspirations. If this is anything like the original, it’ll be Shut up kelly and let’s see more of Brenda! Annie’s not as innocent as she looks methinks.
Brian Austin Green will never come back. I don’t think Luke Perry or Jason Priestly will either. I am just glad they brought the people back who would go. I loved that show. I will watch the new one now, but I wouldn’t have before. I’m really too old at 36, but like I said, LOVED THE SHOW! I wondered why it wasn’t a show about Erin, and Andrea’s kids, but now it seems I had nothing to wonder about.
a new 90210 sounded great, but this just sounds like the old 90210, which if i remembered well I stopped watching. Altogether watching, because i grew to dislike the characters, why would i want to re-watch them again. something new please, cause I’m bored now.
This is amazing! I love that they are incorporating Erin into the show. I would like to see some of the boys back though!
I actually had a Jackie Taylor obsession ever since the infamous mother/daughter fashion show with Mrs. Walsh finding her cracked out in the bathroom. Jackie Taylor evolved into a good mother to Kelly by show’s end, some 10 years later. I’m actually excited for the return of Ann Gillespie! Bring on more Jackie Taylor!

A gorgeous new talent from TYLER’S RIDE will be joining 90210 on Sept. 2nd. Check out TYLER’S RIDE and see Natalie Wachen aka LAUREN for yourself!!!
I had heard Tori Spelling was not coming back. Is this true or not? I’m still holding out for Luke Perry!!!
It would make sense for Erin to be on the show. She would be about 17 right now. I know Steve’s daughter would be too young to be on the show but at least having half Jewish Erin on the show will help with the diversity.
What about Hillary Swank? She was Steve’s girlfriend for awhile.
I’m totally in if they bring back Emily Valentine….at least for a four episode arc!
Dylan can’t come back married to Brenda. When the show ended, Kelly and Dylan finally got back together. And how do they bring back Donna without David? Why ruin the storylines of the original? Fans were happy with he ending. Why did respect them?

Rebekah, I don’t believe anyone’s answered your question yet.
Tori was originally rumored for the premiere, but now will not be… which is probably why you heard she wasn’t going to be on it. However, right now the plans are to have her be on the show on a recurring basis starting later in the season. Both parties still seem interested, just that Tori is more focused on motherhood etc right now.
They can easily bring back Donna without David by just not having him in scenes with her. It’s not like they have to be attached at the hip to supposedly be married. Also Dylan won’t likely be back but technically he could be referred to as Brenda’s husband. Just because he ended up with Kelly 8 years ago doesn’t mean that it lasted.
I have a feeling that David will be back eventually. That is, if the show doesn’t bomb out completely in the first couple of months.
