'90210's' Kelly and Brenda to CW: 'Let Donna Martin graduate ... we mean, renegotiate!'

As previously reported, Tori Spelling will no longer be reprising her role of Donna Martin on the CW's spinoff "90210."

Now costars Jennie Garth (Kelly Taylor) and Shannen Doherty (Brenda Walsh) are speaking out about the network's decision after a report surfaced that the breakdown in negotiations was over salary.

Garth tells Entertainment Weekly she was bummed to hear the network was allegedly offering less salary per episode to Spelling.

“[The press thinks] we’re at war over salary with Tori. I didn’t know I was at war with Tori,” Garth told EW.com. “I’m really bummed because I love Tori and I was psyched Tori was going to be on the show. I think she should definitely get paid as much as either of us is getting paid. Her father created the show. It just seems wrong if that’s the case. I don’t know what really happened because I haven’t talked to her. I would like to talk to her.”

Doherty also went on recored disputing the report that initially claimed she and Garth were being paid "$35,000-$50,000" per episode while Spelling was being offered "$10,000-$20,000."

“They didn’t even get the numbers right,” said Doherty, according to EW.com, "so I don’t know if it’s about the money either.”

The CW issued an official statement saying: "The CW has no deal with Tori Spelling to appear on '90210' at this time."

Something tells us the chapter on Donna Martin's return to "90210" isn't finished yet. Stay tuned!

I can't believe they'd offer Tori less?? Tori is the best thing about that show.. her innocence, spirit.. and she's funny!!!
I hope they offer her more and she does it or 90210 will never be the same..... :(

Hopefully they clear this up and she ends up at least making an appearance of some sort.
