Lori Loughlin, Shenae Grimes join '90210' spinoff

Tagged:

Lorilaughlin_l Lori Loughlin (Summerland, pictured) has been cast in the Rob Thomas-produced Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff currently in development at the CW. She’ll play Celia Mills, mother to teenage Annie, who will be played by Shenae Grimes (Degrassi: The Next Generation) and Dixon, Annie’s yet-to-be-cast twin (a la the original series’ Brenda and Brandon Walsh). The actresses join a cast that also includes Dustin Milligan (The Messengers), who plays Ethan the popular guy, and Annalynne McCord (Nip/Tuck), who plays Naomi the rich, popular girl.

CBS/Paramount, which is producing the much-anticipated drama for the CW, is expected to shore up casting on the pilot soon. One insider says Hilary Duff was given a script to read, but any discussion about her joining the cast is premature.

    Who the bloody heck is Lori Loughlin? And remind me why I should care.

  • RHVan

    Lori Loughlin was Aunt Becky on Full House. Good casting…. all they need now is Jennie Garth

  • kbcfan

    Well I’m definitely going to watch, just because this is going to be such a huge event on telivision, but if Hilary Duff was cast in the series, then I wuld be a regular viewer

    I think that this show will either disappoint fans of the original and will be stuck in the ratings basement until it gets cancelled,or do extremely well by attracting new younger viewers, such as myself and old fans of the show most likely the second one because it is from Rob Thomas, the creator of veronica mars

    Sheesh! Forget this show and just bring back Veronica!!!

  • Bruno

    They picked the wrong Degrassi girl. Shenae is a weak actor. They should have gotten Cassie Steele instead.

  • Sammy B-Tox

    That’s the girl from Full House. She still looks good.

    SIGN JENNIE GARTH!!!

    why are they remaking that show? How do you remake something that was such a big part of the 80′s? Leave it be, it was a classic, but it’s done.

  • Edie

    This show was not on the air for one day in the 1980s, so I don’;t know what you are talking about
