Beverly Hills, 90210 stars Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth have recreated an iconic moment from the primetime soap. The long-running series, which followed the lives of residents in Los Angeles' upscale neighborhood of Beverly Hills, lasted ten seasons between 1990 and 2000. Garth played the privileged Kelly Taylor, while Spelling played one of her best friends, the bubbly Donna Martin.
On her Instagram, Spelling recently shared a video participating in the viral trend of recreating an old photo to the tune of Simple Plan's "I'm Just a Kid." She and Garth were recently visiting their former co-star Lindsay Price (who played Janet Sosna for 71 episodes of the original run of Beverly Hills, 90210, starting in season 8) to appear on her new HSN show In the Spirit. While they were together, they recorded this video, recreating an iconic moment where Janet let Kelly and Donna know that she was pregnant during season 10 episode 2, titled "Let's Eat Cake," which aired in 1999.

Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth's Beverly Hills, 90210 Legacy Explained
Garth and Spelling are inextricably tied to the legacy of Beverly HIlls, 90210 beyond the fact that the massive hit series made them both stars at a young age. To begin with, they were among the only cast members of the ensemble series who appeared in all 292 episodes, alongside Ian Ziering as Steve Sanders and Brian Austin Green as David Silver. Although some of the other stars of the series were more prominent in the pop culture landscape, including Luke Perry as resident bad boy Dylan McKay and Jason Priestley as Minnesota transplant Brandon Walsh, Spelling and Garth were part of the foursome that formed the spine of the series across its entire landmark run.
Although both have developed careers outside of the show, Spelling and Garth have honored this iconic part of their TV legacy in various ways over the years. This includes starring together in the 2014 comedy series Mystery Girls, which also featured a cameo from Beverly Hills, 90210's Joe E. Tata, who played diner owner Nat in many episodes of the '90s series. Spelling and Garth have also appeared together as guests on various reality competition series, including MasterChef USA and an episode RuPaul's Drag Race, where they directed the competing queens in a reboot of 90210.
However, they have also participated directly in the legacy of Beverly Hills, 90210 in more explicit ways. This includes reprising their roles in the CW reboot 90210, on which Garth appeared in 20 episodes and Spelling in 2. After that series ran for 5 seasons and 114 episodes, they also both appeared as themselves in the peculiar meta series BH90210 in 2019, a series that followed fictionalized versions of the original cast members deciding to mount a reboot.
