Almost as quickly as she appeared, Shannen Doherty will soon be leaving the revamped version of 90210.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the actress won't appear in any more than the four episodes she originally agreed to do.
Doherty told the magazine that the producers asked her to sign on for "a lot more," but she's "in the middle of pitching" a show of her own, so she couldn't spare the time. (We'll have to take her word on that... but just how long did it take her to film the five or 10 minutes of the premiere episode that she actually appeared in?)
Meanwhile, Jennie Garth, whose character Kelly actually seems like an integral part of the action rather than just a visitor, signed on for five more episodes in addition to her original commitment of six. And since she's more interesting than half the teenagers, we hope she sticks around permanently. (Or as long as the show lasts, anyway.)
