Shannen Doherty Recalls 'Difficult' Beverly Hills, 90210 Firing With Jason Priestley

Shannen Doherty reflects on her 'Beverly Hills, 90210' firing with former co-star Jason Priestly on her 'Let's Be Clear' podcast. The actress was let go from the hit teen drama in 1994, with Brenda Walsh making her final appearance in the season 4 finale.

She was my favorite character. Show wasn't the same without her.

I think it's really important that Shannen is able to talk about the past and have a closure with the other cast members.

I think no one wants to mention just how gift and talented SHANNON DOHERTY was/is! Both 90210 and Charmed whet downhill after her firings - she definitely deserves credit for kickstarting both shows with her undeniable talent and beauty!

[LoLoLifeinFlorida]

That show was never the same after she left!

[lizzyborden]

After she was fired the show went downhill.

[jaylene.turner]

The show wasn’t the same
without her or Luke Perry(when he first left).

Even when he returned,
the damage was done.

She is blessed. Not many people have the chance to say their goodbyes, apologise, clear things out before they pass on to the other side!!!!

I love that she's having these conversations with her former colleagues. So often this kind of thing becomes gratuitous, but not here--they're having adult, self-aware discussions of the things that happened and leaving them behind. It's a healthy example she's setting for the audience.

As someone who was bullied and rejected by my mates as a child and teen, I relate to Shannen a lot. I was suffering at home, because my mom was a narcissist, but nobody took the time to ask me if something was happening outside school. They only had time to judge.

Beverly Hills 90210 was extremely popular in Brazil. I loved all the characters. I was gutted when Dylan and Brenda were no longer together because of Shannen's exit from the show. They were my number 1 couple in my adolescent years. ❤ I'm only 4 years younger than Shannen.

[mrrightnow]

I get so much healing from her podcast. I wish nothing but the best for her.

[marydallas]

She was greatly missed after leaving 90210 and Charmed. Her talent is off the chain and her characters were not replaceable. That’s a testament to her brilliance.

[shhhperry]

Over 30 years later, I still can’t understand how they just axed the main character in a show. Also the storyline on the show surrounding it was so stupid.

[jessicaarcher]

I cannot believe Sharon passed away today 💔😔this breaks my heart life is so short man Beverly Hills 90210 is forever my show man rest in peace to the 90s queen

[deniser]

Even though she was a handful onset, the show was never the same after she was fired, and that’s the truth! I was obsessed with the show when I was a teen in the 90s I missed her when she left!:(

[AshleyBehr]

I love that Shannen is talking about the hard times in her life and her life now because the media made it seem like she was so hard to work with but that's not the case at all. She is so strong, talented, beautiful and just a kind and loving soul ❤

[aprilgosa]

Brian has stood by her since Luke died and probably before . Luke was upset when she got fired he went to the producers supposedly and told them so too I can see that

[mehretgebrezgiabher]

My favorite childhood show. I'm never the type to fan over celebs or anyone else. The most is just me appreciating their work and expressing to others. But if I ever was into a show, it was Beverly Hills 90210. I loved everyone like Brenda, Brandon, and Dillion were my favorite. And when Dillion cheated with her best friend Kelley that summer, I was done with that show. I was upset at both characters and more at kelley. I didn't get back to that show until they were in college. But I did go back watch some reruns and tried to watch the show with new people. Yeah, the writers were that good, I'm sure they didn't plan on loosing viewers but later I learned she wasn't professional and now we know why. Thank you for Sharing Shannon and may God cover you with His Grace, 🙏!

It’s actually pretty sad how the media treated her .

[haroldlauder-mcro]

Brenda Walsh Shannen Doherty made that show so good and brandon and dylan
