Jennie Garth and Jason Priestley
After seeing how producers wove Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty into the new 90210, naturally fans wondered when the rest of the Beverly Hills, 90210 gang would stop by. TVGuide.com caught up with Jason Priestley at a CW reception at the Kokomo Café, aka the new Peach Pit, to talk about the 90210 episode he's directing (he's also directed five episodes of Secret Life of the American Teenager this season), and what would convince him to reprise the role of Brandon Walsh on the new show. Priestley also reports that we shouldn't plan on seeing Luke Perry's Dylan McKay on the show any time soon.

His name is still Brandon.
Though Jason Priestley is keeping himself behind the camera as the director of an upcoming episode of the CW's 90210, he hasn’t denied himself playing a Brandon all together. In fact, the BH90210 alum will don his famous moniker for a guest gig on NBC's My Name Is Earl.
As first reported by Access Hollywood, Priestley will play Brandon, Earl's better-looking and more successful cousin, whom we first meet in a flashback to Earl and Joy's first wedding anniversary. On that memorable day, viewers will learn, Earl discovered that prior to his marriage, Joy had a steamy affair with his cousin.
Priestley's Earl visit marks his first on-camera work since the short-lived Lifetime series Side Order of Life.

Jason Priestley only has one request for when he gets behind the camera to direct an upcoming 90210 episode.
"I just hope that Jennie [Garth]’s in the episode that I do, or that Shannen [Doherty]’s there," the actor told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show. "That’d be fun for me."
Not mention, just like the old times as Priestley sat in the director's chair 18 times for the original Beverly Hills 90210. Eighteen seems to be the actor's lucky number as that's the episode of the season he will direct in the spring.
"I’m really looking forward to it," he said. "It’s going to be ...

Ian Ziering and Jason Priestly on the set of Side Order of Life
For Beverly Hills, 90210 fans, it doesn’t get much better than this: Two grads of West Beverly High’s Class of ’93 reunite (well, sort of ) on Sunday (9 pm/ET) when Jason Priestley (aka boy-next-door Brandon Walsh) is joined by his old Peach Pit pal Ian Ziering (the affable Steve Sanders) on Priestley’s Lifetime dramedy Side Order of Life. “To reunite implies we have been away from each other, which couldn’t be further from the truth,” says Ziering. “Jason and I are the best of friends. As far as working together, we haven’t had any scenes together so far, but there is something in the works.” Ziering, who’s slated for three

First of all, loving you guys for writing in last week. The world is filled with blogs these days (hell, this site is filled with blogs), so for anyone to read mine, much less reply? I’m feeling very Sally Field. Thanks for liking me!Now, about the 90210-Melrose situation that seems to have erupted. Like Chappy explained with NASA-powered GPS accuracy in the comments, the final two episodes of 90210’s sophomore season introduced Grant Show as Melrose’s Jake Hanson, the dude who taught Drunky McKay "how to surf, ride a motorcycle…pick up girls." And having just finished the second season on DVD, that skill set obviously also included getting with Kelly Taylor, which is what Hanson tries while not building Jackie Taylor and Mel Silver’s wedding pavilion and squinting through his carefully swept-back-but-floppy hair. "I should probably be arrested for thinking what I’m thinking right now," he tells our favorite jailbait. Nothing says romance — or spin...
