Jenny Garth thus remembers the time of Beverly Hills“When People were either Team Kelly or Team Brenda. It was very intense. But Shannon and I weren’t into that at all.”. The actress then recounts having sometimes had delicate reunions with her former comrade. Their last exchange took place in 2023, during a fan convention.Shannen offered for everyone who was going to LA – or even Jason, who was going to Nashville – to take her private plane and go together. But not me. I wasn’t invited… But at the last minute, she came to me and said, ‘We’re going to take this plane. You can come with us!’ I can see her saying that and it’s haunted me ever since she died…”
Eventually, Jenny Garth reveals that Jason Priestley was the first to send a message to the alumni group of 90210 after learning of the death of Shannen Doherty : “Of course he was the first one. And he just said, “I love you guys. This is crazy. Now it’s good. No more death.”“A message that reminds us that Brenda is moving forward, it is Dylan who has left. Luke Perry died suddenly in 2019.
