In January, Jason Priestley is back to his Beverly Hills roots to direct an episode of that series’ spin-on, 90210, where he’ll direct former cast mate Jennie Garth.
Priestley says he still talks “quite regularly” with Garth, whose character, Kelly, was once linked to his, Brandon. That fueled initial speculation that Brandon was the father of Kelly’s son, Sammy, in the new series, though the dad turned out to be Dylan. That was bad news for Sammy, because Luke Perry, who played Dylan, has stressed that he won’t be back.
Priestley insists that despite his return to directing, he won’t be back in front of the camera either.
“I just think there really wasn’t anything interesting for me to do as Brandon on that show,” he says.
Would playing Sammy’s dad have been interesting?
“No, that was their choice, you know? That’s their deal, and that’s totally cool,” he said. “I think that ultimately [Dylan being the dad] made more sense given Kelly and Dylan, given their relationship and given the fact of … who Brandon was and sort of how Brandon and Kelly left it when Brandon left town.

Does this show still on in U.S? I’m sorry I don’t know. I’m a taiwanese and it’s many people’s memories in Taiwan.
