Jason Priestley is coming back to 90210!!!

But only to direct an episode. Rip-off!

The CW confirmed today that the erstwhile Brandon Walsh will return to the zip code that made him an international heartthrob to direct this season’s 18th episode, will which air in the spring. And if all goes well, he may end up bossing around his old TV twin — Shannen Doherty is in talks to return as Brenda Walsh for two more episodes.

This is good news, because the Brenda-Kelly-English teacher love triangle needs to fleshed out. It’s the only remotely interesting plotline happening on 90210 right now.

Meantime, Luke Perry continues to be elusive as Dylan McKay, who was revealed to be Kelly Taylor’s baby daddy earlier this season. Jason Priestley needs to get on the phone with him, stat!
