Nat Back At The Peach Pit In 90210 Spinoff

CNN is reporting that Joe E. Tata is returning in the role of Peach Pit diner owner Nat for the new incarnation of Beverly Hills 90210. Tata, who was part of the original series that aired from 1990 to 2000 on Fox, said Tuesday he was wrapping up his scenes for the pilot episode of CW’s version of the show. It’s uncertain if his character will remain part of the series, he said. The drama about two high schoolers from the Midwest who move to California and enroll in West Beverly Hills High School debuts September 2.

Other alumni of the first 90210 appearing on the CW show are Jennie Garth, whose character of Kelly Taylor has become a high school guidance counselor, and Tori Spelling as Donna Martin. Garth will be in several episodes, while Spelling is set for one episode so far, the CW said. Shannen Doherty reportedly is in talks to return as Brenda Walsh. The network declined to comment on Doherty.
