Access Hollywood - April 1, 2008 10:07 AM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The new "90210" has its first occupant.

Young Dustin Milligan is the first star officially attached to the "Beverly Hills 90210" spin-off, reps for The CW confirmed to Access Hollywood.

Milligan, a 22-year-old Canadian actor, previously starred as Henry in the short-lived CW drama "Runaway."

He also recently appeared on an episode of The CW's "Supernatural."

Milligan's movie credits include "Final Destination 3," "The Messengers" and "Slither."

"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas, who wrote the pilot for the as-of-yet-untitled "90210" spin-off, recently revealed some of the plot details to People.

"The guy who gets hired as the new principal brings his family of four from Kansas to Beverly Hills. The principal, himself, graduated from West Beverly High School," Thomas told People. "The grandmother - the principal's mother - is a Julie Christie-like actress who is once again going into rehab."

The family will have two children, one of which is expected to work, likely at a movie theatre, Thomas said, although there may be more employment opportunities of the restaurant variety.

Thomas also said he hopes to bring back "90210" diner - The Peach Pit.

More rumored plot details have also surfaced. According to a report by E! Online, the pilot will include a brief appearance by a young high school character named Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez - the child of none other than "90210" original castmember Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris).

Hannah reportedly appears in a quick scene as the host of the school's news show, "Blaze."

In addition, at least one of the original West Beverly Hills alumni may return, as well.

"There is a plan for bringing back one of the cast members," Thomas said, noting none of the originally stars had been approached.

One former cast member who certainly wouldn't mind a return to West Beverly is none other than Donna Martin - aka, Tori Spelling.

"I would love to be a part of it," Tori told Access Hollywood.

She even has some ideas about whom she could play.

"Who would I play? I would play the sexy [mom] obviously," Tori laughed. "Every teen drama has a [hot mom] - stepmother of course because I couldn't possibly have a teenage daughter."

And the actress, whose father produced the original, is thrilled to hear of its return.

"I think it's a good idea," Tori told Access. "'90210' was really the first of its kind, the first teen drama. It kind of laid the way for other shows - 'Dawson's Creek,' 'The OC.'"

    I'm very glad that they are coming back with 90210. I grew up watching the show and I loved it. I do hope that some of the original cast members come back. Maybe Dylan and Kelly , And they would be together. Well, we will see how it goes.

    I grew up watching 90210. I am addicted to it to this day. I have the DVD's and watch it in reruns on soapnet. I am so excited about a possible spinoff. I even named my son after dylan. I can't wait for the spinoff. I hope they bring on someone from the show, maybe even a couple of people that would be great.

    This girl needs a haircut to play a guy. Why do guys today continue to insist to look scruffy and unkept and hold onto 60's long hair. It did not age well and looks ridiculous. So guys - get it - it is not hot - cute - or flattering - and just makes you look like a throwback to your essential dorkdom. Cut your hair.

    Pam, if they dont call it a spinoff they dont have a prayer to make it to production or ever have a chance at even chitty ratings. this has to be 1 of the worse ideas. ho wants to see a bunch of 30 something actors playing high school kids. As far as tori not a chance if it wasnt for her dad she wouldnt have been on the first. she made the rest of the cast seem like they had talent.

    I loved 90210 & I would love to see it remade. It would be great to get most of the original cast to come in some way.
