No More '90210' For Tiffani Thiessen

Access Hollywood - September 1, 2008 7:37 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- With The CW's "90210" spin-off set to premiere on Tuesday, former original series star Tiffani Thiessen says she's among the cast members who won't be coming back.

"I don't think so, I mean I wish them all the luck, but I'm just so in a different place right now," Thiessen told Us Weekly at the Nike + Human Race in L.A. on Sunday. "You know, it's not that I don't look back at that show with wonderful, amazing memories, but I've just gone in a different direction for me. But I think it's wonderful."

Even though Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty and Joe E. Tata have returned?

"I don't think so!" she laughed. "I say that with a big smile! I don't think so!"

Thiessen, who played bad girl Valerie Malone on the long-running show, thought that any possible fireworks between the two returning actresses were overblown.

"I think a lot of time has passed, you know," she said. "I'm sure they had their talks between them, beforehand. I think it's great for them. They look beautiful and I'm sure it will be great."

Thiessen says she's stayed close with fellow "90210" star Jason Priestley, who was also in attendance at the 10K run.

"I'm really close with him and his wife," Thiessen told Us.

Though Jason previously told Access Hollywood that he would also not be returning to the show, he said that he'd be interested in coming back to direct.

""They're talking to my people about seeing if they can slot me in over there," he told Access. "I directed more episodes of '90210' than anybody. I directed 18 episodes."

    Tiffani, tiffani, tif???? how so sad she's all tied down w/ all of these other roles... maybe she's waiting on Dancing w/ Stars to call her,who knows??? anyway... never say never, i loved her character & maybe a few of the old cast mem's are worried about what people will say if the show flops- stuff like " a desperate attempt to rekindle their youth...

    Umm what the heck is Tiffani doing with her life that's so different than acting on 90210? Acting on another show? Anyways she is pretty and she doesn't seem to have much going on in her acting career. Maybe she should go back to 90210.

    Why would Tiffani want to return to 90210? Her career has advanced so much since then why would she want to take a step back? hahahahahhahahhaa! She needs to get over herself!
