Shannen Doherty Reflects on 'Beverly Hills, 90210' Firing With Co-Star Jason Priestley


The actors portrayed twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh on Fox's 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'

Doherty remembers auditioning with Priestley at Fox and highlights the intense competition, as they were among the final contenders to play twin siblings Brenda and Brandon Walsh, who move to Beverly Hills from middle America. The 52-year-old actress admits that her marriage was falling apart at the time, alleging that her then-husband had a drug addiction, which took a toll on her ability to be punctual and focused at work. Priestley, often referred to as the "quarterback" of the cast, shares the difficulty he experienced waiting for Doherty and the subsequent conversations with producers Spelling and Paul Wagner.
