TV NOTES & NEWS

HOLLYWOOD — The folks behind the new "90210" are hoping to set up a reunion for the girls of West Beverly Hills High that includes Brenda Walsh.

According to an Entertainment Weekly report, it looks like Shannen Doherty is now thinking to reprise her role from the original "Beverly Hills, 90210" for the CW update premiering this fall.

Producers of the new "90210," Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, have met with Doherty, who reportedly is interested, depending on the story and money offered.

Even if those issues are addressed, there are other concerns that make Doherty's participation tricky. Not only does she have a reputation for being difficult on set, but she famously had an angry tussle with Jennie Garth back in the day. It's difficult to speculate if any animosity would linger or if the two actresses' characters would even cross paths.

In the update, Garth as the grown up Kelly Taylor is now a guidance counselor at the high school, while Tori Spelling's Donna Martin is the successful owner of a shop frequented by the WBHH students.

HOLLYWOOD — Michaela McManus will be headed to New York to prosecute criminals this fall, and apparently not to Vegas to get married.McManus, late of The CW's "One Tree Hill" has joined the cast of NBC's "Law & Order: SVU" as a regular. She'll play the new assistant district attorney for the Special Victims Unit, the showbiz trade papers say.Her character will replace Casey Novak (Diane Neal), who was suspended from the job in last month's season finale.The casting of McManus also partially resolves the cliffhanger that ended "One Tree Hill" in May. As the show ended its fifth season, Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) picked up the phone and asked someone to fly to Las Vegas and marry him. What viewers have yet to find out, however, is who's on the receiving end: Brooke (Sophia Bush), Peyton (Hilarie Burton) or Lindsey (McManus) — though the latter is probably ruled out now.McManus is a relative newcomer to showbiz. Other than "One Tree Hill," her only screen credits are the independent film "Cosa Bella" and a short called "The Beautiful Lie."
