Shannen Doherty, 'Icon', Wants To Know If You Miss Her
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 9:00 AM on August 22, 2008
Though the new 90210 has booked Jennie Garth for a major recurring role and relegated Shannen Doherty to only a handful of episodes, it's the latter who merits "icon" status according to this brand-new CW promo. In it, Doherty shows up in special new footage taped just for you (but not for you, Tori), coyly flipping her hair as she asks the camera, "Miss me?" While we do, Shannen, we must remind you that there's someone in the 90210 cast who tops even you in our estimation: Jessica Walter, aka Lucille freakin' Bluth. While we're certain that she's the last actor the CW cares to build a promo around (even Mark the Cobrasnake would probably get one first), to us, she's the show's true, alcoholic icon. CW, hear our cry for footage of Walter, or we'll be forced to mount a "Save our Bluths" campaign the likes of which even EW cannot contain. [The CW]

Hehe, of course I missed her. Who wouldn't miss the girl, who was one of the ones starting the thing that snowballed into several seasons of a good show (At least some of my friends say so, given that I stopped watching the show somewhere after Brenda 'left')
Anyways, I'm welcoming Shannen with open arms, really hoping she gets at least some quality screen time, because honestly, for me, she's the only one to convince me to tune in for 90210 once again.

I want Steve Sander's lesbian Mom to show up and try a hostile takeover of the Peach Pit.
With her girlfriend, Amanda Woodward

Yes, I missed you. Now stand still while I reload and aim again.

Emily Valentine? U4EA? Anyone?

I wouldn't call her an "icon" unless you're comparing her to a painting with crooked eyes.

I can't wait until Rose McGowan replaces her.

@CorporalCabana: She's either a marine biologist or back in the insane asylum wearing Brandon's old Twins jersey.
As for Brenda, I don't really care about her character, it's been too, too long--she should have come back in the actual series?

Shannen who?
I agree Jessica Walter is the damn icon. She can play batshit crazy like no other.
I was so happy when she turned up in Slums of Beverly Hills and later Arrested Development, but Play Misty For Me is the performance I most love her for.
God I hate that movie and Clint Eastwood's slow ass directing of most of his movies, but Jessica Walter with crazy eyes and a big ass kitchen knife? Where is her Oscar?

@Rey: Wait, Shannen's married to Robert Rodriguez?
Oh, you mean on the show.

I am looking forward to the NEW I Hate Brenda Newsletter (this time online). This time I won't have to pay $3 at Tower Records for it. Oh, wait. DAMN I'M OLD.

@SheCracked: Yes, thank you! Shannen needs to watch Play Misty For Me before she starts swanning around in front of Jessica Walter. Donna Mills lost that fight...
