We can all stop crossing our fingers, holding our breath and doing rain dances -- Shannen Doherty is coming back to 90210! We all know the Brenda years were the best years, and now we can look forward to more clashes with Kelly Taylor, more dining at Nat's Peach Pit and more hanging out with Donna Martin.

When we last saw Brenda, she was boarding a plane to London to attend a prestigious acting school. Over the years, she succeeds in her pursuit of a career in the theater and even has a rekindled (off-screen) romance with Dylan - who moves to London to be with her. Eventually they break up and he, of course, goes back to Kelly. While neither of the women seems to have ended up as Mrs. McKay, they both end up back at West Beverly Hills High. Kelly will be a guidance counselor and Brenda will use her theatrical skills to help direct the school's musical.

High school musical or not -- it's always a safe bet that when Brenda Walsh is around there's going to be drama, and we can't wait! What do you think about the return of Brenda? Do you have any guesses as to what kind of trouble she can get herself into? Let us know in the comments!

Jason C. caught up with the cast of 90210 recently, and he did his best to get some premiere scoop out of them! The cast was tight-lipped at first... but they soon revealed a few tantalizing tidbits. They shared some juicy scoop about the first few minutes of the premiere, teased a few possible love interests, and laughed about the funny mixup when they first met Tristan.

You asked, we delivered! Sarah, Mia and I discuss The CW's fall lineup on our new shows podcast. We're skeptical about Stylista's concept, excited about 90210's stars, and waiting for more information on Surviving the Filthy Rich (pictured at right).

We go on a few tangents about CW shows that have gone before us like Hidden Palms, Summerland, and Runaway. Oh, and there's some intense discussion of Saved By The Bell, grapples, and whether or not we're sick of rich people yet (are you?). Plus, we discuss what we're hoping to see on our favorite established CW hits this fall.

Listen to our new CW shows podcast and tell us what you think!

It's summer, and that means not so much new TV. But some of The CW's hottest shows are still stirring things up with beach scandals, casting stories, and directing rumors. Here's a roundup of the latest scoop on Gossip Girl and 90210.:

*It's not just Manhattan and Brooklyn anymore! Chace Crawford spilled that Gossip Girl will expand its horizons this fall -- the cast will be shooting scenes in the posh Hamptons, and we can expect some "beach scandal." Oooh! We wonder who it involves...

*Speaking of Chace Crawford, if you're in the market for his London lawn chair (!?), CasaSugar has found it. We're more in the market for another kind of, ahem, Chair (Chuck/Blair action, that is).

*And speaking of the Hamptons, NyMag.com reports that a mere four people showed up to a recent Gossip Girl casting call in the Hamptons. Seriously? There have to be more than four GG addicts in the area, right?

*But don't feel too bad for the cast. All three Gossip guys have earned a well-deserved spot on People's Single & Sexy Men of 2008 list. Congratulations to Ed, Chace, and Penn.

*Ed's also featured in People's Where The Boys are photo gallery. His band The Filthy Youth played at NYC hotspot The Annex.

*On to 90210! Eonline's Kristin reports that the 90210 premiere may be two hours -- and as previously reported, Tori Spelling will definitely appear in the premiere! No news on whether or not Donna and David are still together, though. We're psyched to see Tori in her element.

*But first, we have to send our sympathy her way. Tori's pug Mimi LaRue passed away Tuesday at the age of 11. We're so sorry to hear that, Tori.

*Meanwhile, TVWeek.com says that Jason Priestley's in talks to direct some 90210 episodes.

Jason C. asked some of the new cast of 90210 about the shoes they're going to have to fill. Jennie Garth, who returns as Kelly Taylor, tells us we can probably expect more racy issues than the previous years. This is interesting news considering her character had been shot, burned, joined a cult and was raped. We can't wait to see what's in store!

We've got the East Coast chic wardrobes of Gossip Girl to pine after, but what will the West Coast bring us when 90210 hits our sets? Jason C. speaks to some of the stars to get some answers.

If you're looking for eye candy this fall, look no further than the CW's most anticipated new show, 90210. Jason C. got a chance to speak with most of the cast at the CW Upfronts and we got to hear all about the new characters at West Beverly High.

So, I might be working a little too hard. First I had a nightmare about One Tree Hill's Dan Scott kidnapping me. He did take me out for sushi though. Now last night, I had a dream that I was trying to convince Ian Ziering to take part in the new 90210 coming out in the fall. He refused but did give me his autograph (which I hadn't asked for). We still have to wait a while before the new kids make it onto our televisions, but we've always got the original to think about. Test your knowledge about the Walsh family and their friends by taking our 90210 quiz. Let us know how you do in the comments!

It seems as though Jennie Garth isn't the only 90210 alum to be making a comeback for the CW's new spinoff! It's being reported that Tori Spelling will be coming back as our favorite graduate from Beverly Hills High, Donna Martin! We're not sure exactly what's in store for Donna, but we're happy to see her back.

We've seen a whole lot of CW-related news stories crossing our desk, and it's time to share. Dig in!

The Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off is building up its cast nicely. Despite early rumors that Hilary Duff would be taking the lead role, Zap2It.com now reports that "Degrassi: The Next Generation" actress Shenae Grimes will be playing the show's updated Brenda Walsh, Annie Mills.

But we're even more excited about this next bit of casting news, that comes to us courtesy of TVGuide's Michael Ausiello: Jessica Walters, who starred as the boozy matriarch in Arrested Development, will be talking the role of Tabitha Mills, the boozy, famous-in-the-70s actress grandmother! We love Jessica, and we can't wait to see how she tears into this role. It'll be great!

BuddyTV reports that Supernatural will be losing a recurring character: mercenary "acquisitions expert" Bela won't be coming back in season 4. We can't say we're surprised: She always seemed a bit spackled on to us, and she provoked a lot of ire among the fans.
