Garth Says, “Working With Doherty’s Not So Bad”

After initially admitting that she was “uneasy” about working with Shannen Doherty again, actress Jennie Garth has revealed that her first day on the job with her former, fiery 90210 co-star “wasn’t as bad” as she’d thought.

Garth told TV Guide: “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

“I’m not much of a small talker, and I don’t think she is either. I was a little nervous because I hadn’t seen or talked to her in 14 years. Everyone was making it out to be such a big deal that I think we both fell prey to having that affect us.”

Back in their 90210 heyday, Garth and Doherty were notorious enemies on the set, and even got into a fistfight once. However, Garth says that they’ve put their past tensions behind them, and are now working quite well together.

“I think it will be ok,” she said. “We’re both grown women, both professionals. Once we were working, it felt like a good fit.”

Ryan Eggold, who plays Kelly’s new love interest on the show, admitted that “everybody was on pins and needles and sort of waiting to see how [Garth and Doherty would] react.”

“They started off kind of tentative,” he explained, “but by the time we were five takes in, they were giggling and seemed to be reconnectiong.”

While things with Doherty are better than she thought they would be, Garth is still upset that fellow 90210 co-star, Tori Spelling, isn’t going to be a part of the spinoff show.

“I know Shannen probably doesn’t share the feelings that I have for Tori, but I love Tori like my sister,” a teary Garth professed to TV Guide.

Garth added that she’s still trying her best to get Spelling back on board, and hopes that fans of the show will launch a “Bring Back Donna Martin” campaign to put the pressure on the show’s producers.

Jennie Garth Wants Tori Spelling Back

Jennie Garth has broken her silence on the supposed “pay fued” between herself and her former 90210 co-star Tori Spelling, telling EW.com that she wants Tori back on the show.

“[The press thinks] we’re at war over salary with Tori. I didn’t know I was at war with Tori,” Garth explained. “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 [Shannen and I are] getting paid,” she added. “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.”

Spelling’s rep confirmed her client was pulling out of the CW spinoff on Monday, after reports first surfaced that the actress was only getting “10,000-$20,000″ per episode, while her co-stars, Garth and Doherty, were getting between “$35,000-$50,000″ per show.

However, Doherty insists that those figures aren’t correct. “They didn’t even get the numbers right,” she said, “so I don’t know if [Spelling's decision] is about the money either.”

Whether it was money or something else that made Spelling drop out of the 90210 re-hash, Garth is adamant she’ll do whatever she can to get her former co-star back on board.

“I’ll try to butt my head in whenever I can and tell people what I think about it,” the actress said.
