"I wish I hadn't done it. No offence to them," she said while admitting she regretted being part of the fourth series.
"The producer was a friend of a friend, and I remember he came over in my living room, sat me down, [billed it as] this chance of a lifetime. He asked me to do it and I didn't know how to say no then," Garth added. "But the people were very nice and all the best to them."
Garth, Shannen Doherty, and Tori Spelling were the only original cast members to return for '90210', which starred Shenae Grimes-Beech and AnnaLynne McCord and followed wealthy students at West Beverly Hills High School.

Green said, "No offence at all, it's to me, we did 10 years of that show and it's like OK, done."
