  • Beverly Hills 90210 Gør Comeback Med Helt Nye Afsnit Fra 8
    Gabrielle Carteris (Andrea), Tori Spelling (Donna), Brian Austin Green (David), Jason Priestley (Brandon), Shannen Doherty (Brenda), Jennie Garth (Kelly) og Ian Ziering (Steve) er tilbage i BH90210, der får premiere på C More den 8. august. 2019-07-25 14:33 CEST DANMARKSPREMIERE PÅ C MORE: BEVERLY HILLS 90210 GØR COMEBACK MED HELT NYE AFSNIT FRA 8. AUGUST Brandon, Kelly, Brenda, Donna, David, Andrea og Steve er alle med, når den ikoniske 90’er-serie Beverly Hills 90210 vender tilbage i den nye miniserie, BH90210, bestående af seks spritnye afsnit på C More. Det første afsnit i den nye sæson kan streames torsdag den 8. august. Den oprindelige serie sluttede for 19 år siden, men nu er Jason Priestley (Brandon), Shannen Doherty (Brenda), Jennie Garth (Kelly), Ian Ziering (Steve), Gabrielle Carteris (Andrea), Brian Austin Green (David) og Tori Spelling (Donna) tilbage i BH90210. Se trailer til BH90210 Dermed genforenes syv af de oprindelige skuespillere og hovedkarakterer fra 90'ernes store ungdomsserie. Luke Perry, der spillede den mystiske James Dean-agtige Dylan, døde tidligere på året efter et slagtilfælde. En af vennerne foreslår, at det er på tide at mødes igen og få genstartet den ikoniske gruppe fra byen med det verdensberømte postnummer. Men hvad sker der, når første kærlighed, gamle romancer og venner forsøger at fortsætte, hvor de slap? De syv teenageidoler er i dag mellem 45 og 58 år gamle, og den nye sæson vil have den twist, at de hver i sær spiller ophøjede eller forbedrede versioner af dem selv - inspireret af deres virkelige liv og deres ægte relationer.

  • This Is a Test
    ‘GROWING THE BIG ONE’ CAST BIOS SHANNEN DOHERTY (Emma Silver) – Memphis, Tennessee native Shannen Doherty has made a name for herself over the years in the popular long-running television shows “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed,” and in the classic movies “Heathers” and “Mallrats.” Her extensive work onscreen and in film has spanned almost three decades, after receiving her first role at the age of ten in the series, “Father Murphy.” Doherty‟s mother, an owner of a beauty salon, and father, a mortgage consultant, moved her and older brother Sean to Los Angeles when Doherty was only seven years old, and she caught the acting bug. Shortly after, Doherty earned a recurring role as Jenny Wilder on the popular eighties hit, “Little House on the Prairie” when she was noticed by producer Michael Landon. Doherty went on to star in the family drama, “Our House,” garnering several Young Artist Award nominations. She also was cast in the 1988 film, “Heathers,” opposite Winona Ryder, and in the 1985 hit, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” with a then-almost-unknown Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt. Her big break came in 1990, however, when she was cast alongside Jason Priestly as his character‟s twin, Brenda Walsh, in Aaron Spelling‟s hit teen drama series, “Beverly Hills, 90210,” which enjoyed a ten-year run. Doherty left the show in 1994, but not before it earned her two Young Artist Award nominations for Best Young Actress in a Television Series. She recently revised her role as Brenda in the CW television network‟s spin-off version of the show, “90210,” alongside former castmate Jennie Garth and was also part of the 10th season of the ABC hit reality series, “Dancing With The Stars.” In 1998, Spelling cast Doherty in another hit series, “Charmed,” as Prue Halliwell, the oldest sister of three who discover they are witches.
