I’m going to post this in the reboot thread, but it belongs here as well.

It’s the National Enquirer, so take it with a huge grain of salt...especially since I thought Shannen and Jenny had patched things up long ago. I really hope it’s not true - though I’d love Luke all the more

I loved their tender moments.

Hm. I can't open it here. Is is the same thing about the writers quitting?

No, different...If true, it makes all of them look petty and childish - especially after what Shannen has been through

Beverly Hills, 90210 bad girl Shannen Doherty will join the show’s reboot — thanks to late pal Luke Perry! The two played a couple on the popular ’90s teen drama and Luke — who died in March after a massive stroke — refused to sign on for the new series unless producers also hired Shannen, sources said.

“Luke loved Shannen and was livid that the other cast members had banded together to shut her out — especially since she’s been battling cancer,” snitched an insider........

The battle scars never healed, and insiders said Tori and former co-star Jennie Garth conspired to keep Shannen off the new show, infuriating Luke.

“When Luke died, the producers felt terrible,” the source revealed. “They decided to finally make Shannen an offer and she accepted. But don’t think they didn’t also think about the ratings boost all the drama would give them!”

Thanks for that! It does not sound plausible to me at all. I watched an interview with Tori, made months before Luke's death, when she said Shannen is welcome to join and do whatever she wants with her SLs. Liking her or not, it would be good for ratings. It is also not true the cast shut her out since she's got the cancer. Nah, this article makes no sense.

I do not find it convincing either. Everyone knows that ratings are much higher when Shannen is around. They never hid they wanted to hire her.

Yeah, I agree..I definitely remember Jenni tweeting Shannen during the worst her cancer battle; there were quotes about the past, but they’d long ago put that behind them. I just can’t see all of the cast acting like they were in high school again.

I think Shannen will be/is the obvious target of the media as she’ll never be able to live down her past...

Well, who knows. She's, much or less, an American sweetheart now, given what she went through recently. I don't think many would dare to trash her too much, but they will probably try to create or exploit some existing problem between her and somebody else. But I think this article did not target her. More the others for an alleged nasty behaviour towards her.
