Jennie Garth recently opened up about the loss of her Beverly Hills co-stars, Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry. Shannen Doherty passed away on July 13th after battling cancer, making her the second cast member of Beverly Hills to die prematurely, following Luke Perry’s death from a stroke five years ago.
In a podcast called 90210MG, Jennie Garth, who played Kelly in the series, expressed her fears about losing her co-stars. She revealed, « I’m very scared with the death of Luke and now Shannen. I feel like, I don’t know, any one of us could go at any moment. This kind of feeling is… it’s scary. » On the other hand, her co-star Tori Spelling had a different reaction to Shannen Doherty’s passing. She shared, « I wasn’t scared at all when she died. I just felt sad. I felt sad for the second life she had started to have. I was really happy for her and I wanted so much for her to be able to live this new chapter. »
