Celebrities’ Heartbreaking Reactions to Shannen Doherty’s Death

Following the passing of Shannen Doherty, her “Beverly Hills, 90210” costar, Brian Austin Green, shared a heartfelt message. “You were a big part of my understanding of love,” Green remarked on Instagram. “Thank you for the gift of you.” Beyond their professional relationship, Doherty and Green once had a brief romance. However, it soon became clear that they preferred to maintain a platonic bond.

In addition to being a supportive friend during Doherty’s health battles, Green also empathized with her when she lost her job midway through the 90210 series. In March 2024, Green appeared on Doherty’s podcast “Let’s Be Clear” and expressed his discomfort at the time, as he didn’t agree with her firing and felt he was in the minority. Moreover, Green was bewildered by the negative media portrayal of Doherty. He observed, “You’re very good at balancing being kind with being sure of who you are. And you will fight to the death for people.”

Their strong friendship also played a role in Doherty’s decision to join the “BH90210” revival. During her podcast, Doherty mentioned that Green was the first “90210” cast member she confided in about her stage four cancer diagnosis. Although both had reservations about participating in the new version of the show, it turned out to be not only fun but also emotionally healing. Their comfort as friends and colleagues even led to ad-libbed scenes.
