Jason Priestley Reflects on Shannen Doherty’s ‘Difficult’ Firing on ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’

More than 30 years after Shannen Doherty was fired from Beverly Hills, 90210, former costar Jason Priestley is opening up about that particularly difficult chapter for the Fox teen drama.

“I really feel like Shannen’s behavior started to get disruptive only in the fourth season of the show, and then she left at the end of the fourth season, which was difficult,” Priestley said on Thursday’s episode of The Slice of Life Show by Pete Ferriero. “That part of it was, I think, more difficult than what was going on with her in the fourth season.”
