Tori Spelling - Intensive Goodbye from Shannen Doherty

Between 1990 and 1994, US actors Tori Spelling (51) and Shannen Doherty (1971-2024) stood together in front of the camera for the cult series "Beverly Hills, 90210" and were good friends during that time. After Doherty left the series due to internal tensions behind the scenes in 1994, rumors of disputes between the two actresses circulated for a long time, which Tori Spelling did not comment on for a long time.

However, in 2019, the actress confessed in the YouTube podcast "Daddy Issues" that there was nothing to the rumors and Doherty had always been one of her "best friends." After the tragic death of her friend and colleague on July 13, 2024, she spoke more openly about her last contacts with Shannen Doherty in her own podcast "90210MG," which she runs with her former "Beverly Hills, 90210" colleague Jennie Garth (52).

Happy about the reconciliation before Doherty's death

There, Spelling told her co-host: "I have experienced many deaths in my life, and I don't believe in regrets." In all these deaths, she had previously regretted not having had the time "to get a second chance to overcome the past and see all the good things and really talk about them and conduct this last conversation." With Shannen Doherty, this was fortunately different. "I feel like we had that, and I'm very grateful for it," Spelling said.

Her colleague Jennie Garth replied: "I definitely thought of you, Tor, and how lucky you must have been to have this time with her and this deeper connection on a lower level, while both of you grew up and learned so much." She wished she had had the opportunity herself, as she couldn't "really come together with her and have a deep conversation" before Doherty's death. She was, however, very happy that Spelling had had this opportunity.

A "trip into the past" with a dying friend

Tori Spelling had already published an extremely emotional post on her Instagram account shortly after Shannen Doherty's death. In it, she wrote: "In a world where we often don't have the opportunity to recapitulate the childhood friendships that have such a big impact on the adult we become, we have been given this chance." And she added: "I am grateful that @theshando and I, as adult friends, could take a trip into the past and remember why we really loved each other from the start. Wallowing in memories. And again, we could laugh so iconically as before. No one could make me laugh like her. Pure laughter!"
