Actor Jason Priestley has refuted reports he will be returning to Beverly Hills, 90210 in the new spin-off series.

Filming is currently underway to bring the programme back to small screens, with stars Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling among the actors reprising their original roles.

But Priestley, who played hunk Brandon Walsh in the TV series, insists he has declined offers from U.S. network CW to appear in the new show.

He says, "I think I sort of ran the gamut with Brandon . 249 episodes. I think Brandon did his time."

But the 38-year-old claims he hasn't turned down working behind the scenes, and would love to direct a few of the new episodes.

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

The producers of the new Beverly Hills, 90210 TV series have recreated the show's fabled Peach Pit diner in the heart of Hollywood.

The cast and crew have taken over the popular Kokomo Cafe and turned it into the cult TV series' favourite hang-out.

One fan, who spotted the shooting while driving past, tells WENN, "It was amazing - they had the old Peach Pit sign hanging over the Kokomo sign.

"And they even had the original Nat (actor Joe E. Tata) on set on Wednesday."

No other original stars were on view, although Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling have both signed up for the new show - and Shannen Doherty is in negotiations to play a grown up Brenda Walsh.

The Kokomo Cafe takeover will be shortlived - a permanent Peach Pit diner and nightclub is currently being built on a nearby soundstage.

Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tori Spelling can't wait to start work on the forthcoming spin-off - comparing it to revisiting a beloved childhood memory.

The actress - whose late father, TV producer Aaron Spelling, created the original show - confirmed rumours in May she would join her pal Jennie Garth, who plays Kelly Taylor, in the forthcoming programme.

And the star is excited about playing her original character Donna - despite not knowing anything about the show's plotline.

She tells Ok! magazine, "It's like getting the chance to visit an old childhood memory. When I heard about the show, there was no hesitation. I was like: 'I have to do this for the fans.'

"I know Donna is in fashion - that's it! I don't know if she and David are married still."

Former Beverly Hills, 90210 heart-throb Luke Perry has dismissed reports he is to reprise his role in the new version of the hit show.

Perry's former castmates Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth have both signed up to appear in the new spin off series - simply titled 90210.

But the 41-year-old actor, who has enjoyed limited success since leaving the show in 1995, insists that he currently has no plans to join them.

He says, "I can't re-imagine it currently. It's just not something that I've thought about to be quite honest, I don't see it happening.

"I wish them a lot of luck. I hope they have a lot of success with it."

Latest: Actress Tori Spelling's wish to reprise her role in hit TV show Beverly Hills, 90210 has been granted - she will return to the part that shot her to fame in a new spin-off series.

The star - whose late father, TV producer Aaron Spelling, created the original show - has finally confirmed rumours she will be joining her pal Jennie Garth, who plays Kelly Taylor, in the forthcoming programme.

And she is excited at the prospect of returning "home" to see what happens to her character Donna Martin, who was last seen marrying her high school sweetheart David Silver in the 2000 series finale.

According to a show representative, Martin will "own one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills", reports People.com.

Spelling says, "Donna Martin was such a huge part of my life. It's going to be so fun to work with Jennie (Garth) again and see where Donna is today.

"Donna loved designing and wanted a career in fashion. It'll be fun to explore that storyline. And, I'm sure fans will be dying to know if she's still married to David!

"When they say you can't go home again, its not true. I'm headed back to the zip code I know best and couldn't be happier!"
