Shannen Doherty didn't want to reboot

Beverly Hills 90210

.

As she told Entertainment Tonight, the star thought she had taken a tour of her character and the universe in which he lived.

“I didn't want to do it.

I have my reasons for not wanting to do it.

One of them is that I've played the character so many times and done so many versions of

Beverly Hills

that it felt like I had exhausted that route.

I believe that sometimes the less the better.

You want people to want to see a show, instead of like, "Oh my God, I hope this never gets back on the air."

So I was not too enthusiastic, ”she revealed to Sarah Michelle Gellar, who was interviewing her.

Bad news

But as she was about to make a decision, two tragic events turned her life upside down: the death of her friend Luke Perry, who played with her in the 1990s series, and the recurrence of her breast cancer.

“Someone very important to me passed away and I was diagnosed, and it all happened within months.

It got me thinking again.

And yes, it was a way of honoring Luke - which was important to me - but it was also a way of honoring my family by saying, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, no one will know that, but at least when it turns out that I am in phase IV, I will be able to say: I worked throughout this phase "", she unveiled.

The

Beverly Hills

reboot season

lasted six episodes, and was not extended.
