Luke Perry Succumbs, Finally Agrees To Guest On ‘90210’
Beverly Hills, 90210 fans have cause to rejoice this weekend … according to a new report (yay!) from Star magazine (boo!), Luke Perry has decided to reprise his iconic role of Dylan McKay for an upcoming guest appearance on the 90210 on The CW. It was previously reported that Luke had no interest in playing Dylan McKay again but money talks and in this economy, everyone is listening. While this is good news on the one hand it should be noted that Star magazine has a notorious record for getting some stories all wrong … I suppose at we should take this news with a huge grain of salt:
Television’s Dylan McKay is set to join Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty, and Tori Spelling as former 90210 originals who have reprised their roles on The CW’s revival of the ’90s hit. Although he originally turned down an offer to appear on the spinoff of Beverly Hills, 90210, Luke Perry is the latest original castmember who has signed up for a guest appearance on the show. A source tells Star Magazine: “They wanted to spread out the guest appearances. That’s why Tori appeared well after the show’s premiere, and now Luke will most likely be next.”
It deffo makes sense that 90210 would want to dig up a few new oldies in order to have them appear on the show in their second season. There was so much buzz and excitement when we got word that Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty and eventually Tori Spelling would all be reprising their roles on the show. If 90210 managed to get the three guys to guest in the second season — Luke Perry, Jason Priestley and Brian Austin Green — then they’d be sure to get a repeat buzz/excitement performance. To be honest, it’s still way too early for me to get all amped about the prospect of Dylan returning to the land of 90210 (unless we get some sort of official confirmation, that is) … but if the network were smart, they’d pull out all the stops to make sure that this early report comes true.

They will all be back if the show runs long enough.. Most of that cast never went onto to anything huge afterwards, and you know they need a pay check…
(and the show needs every gimmick in the book to stay afloat..)

I was in love with him when I was 11! Would be weird to see him as Dylan again though, it won’t be the same.
