Spelling claimed that the loss of Doherty had damaged her and that she was finding it difficult to cope. Garth expressed her amazement and disbelief but also praising Doherty for her amazing fortitude in fighting her illness. Spelling claimed that Doherty’s stubbornness and rebellious nature made it difficult for her to accept that her fight with cancer was over.
Following Doherty’s demise, a number of their “90210” co-stars paid tribute to her on social media. Jason Priestley, Brian Austin Green, Gabrielle Carteris, Garth, and Spelling have all paid respects to their late co-star. Spelling expressed her love for Doherty, stressed how their friendship blossomed into an adult connection, and promised to carry on Doherty’s legacy in her dedication to him.
Doherty’s death happens five years after that of fellow “90210” co-star Luke Perry, who died in 2019 at the age of 52. The “90210” family is in mourning following the deaths of several other cast members, including Denise Dowse, Joe E. Tata, and David Gail, in previous years.
The memories and emotions that Tori Spelling talked about in her podcast serve as a reminder of the strong relationships that developed between the cast members of “90210” and the impact that Shannen Doherty had on both her co-stars and her fans.
