The New Class Of Beverly Hills 90210
Here’s a first look at The CW’s upcoming spin-off series Beverly Hills 90210 (are they calling it with the same name?). They are mostly composed of unfamiliar actors, except for one or two veterans of television like — Jessica Walter who was formerly Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development, now playing the grandmother on 90210; and Lori Loughlin who was Full Houses’ Aunt Becky, now playing the mother of one the main teenage characters.
But I guess that in a couple of months, these kids will be names you will often hear. Will the young ones be TV’s toast and stars next season?
(From Left to Right): Dustin Milligan, AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Walter, Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, Lori Loughlin, Ryan Eggold, Jessica Stroup and Michael Steger.
It has been recently reported that Jennie Garth, from the original cast back in the 90’s, will reprise her role as Kelly Taylor on the series and will serve in a semi-regular capacity as her former Alma Mater’s guidance counselor. News sources also say Tori Spelling is coming on board, reprising her role as Donna Martin.
But the spin-off’s central character will be played by Shenae Grimes and her character is Annie Mills, whose family, supposedly patterned after the Walsh’s, moves from Kansas City to take care of their ailing grandmother (Jessica Walter).
Shenae Grimes is a teenage Canadian actress most famous for playing Darcy Edwards on Degrassi: The Next Generation. She’s also a singer and has recorded an album in Toronto along with Nelly Futado.

Shanae reminds me of Wendy Wilson. If there’s ever a Wilson Phillips Biopic Shanae should play Wendy. Am I right people?
