While at times Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were close while filming together, they had their ups and downs. After all, the Beverly Hills 90210 stars were only teenagers when their show blew up back in the ’90s.
During an April 14 appearance on Good Day New York, Jennie explained, “We didn’t have the capacity or the language at that point. Everything was happening so fast. We never really sat down and talked it out. But we were friends, and then we would clash, and then we were friends.”

“We were young,” she continued. “That’s what you do when you’re growing up and you’re in this competitive environment … The script is pitting you against one another, the media, the world, and then it’s hard. The lines sometimes get blurred.”
“There are two sides to every story,” the mom of three added. “The press doesn’t know anything about what’s going on in a relationship. So they made it what would sell headlines and we were living it.”
“We were growing and learning the whole time,” she added. “But I think we dealt with it the best way we knew how to … [In the end,] it was no bad vibes between us.”
Recently, the 90210 actress spoke about her co-star’s impact on her life following Shannen’s 2024 death from breast cancer. “At the end of the day, we really did have a respect for one another as strong women,” Jennie told People in an April 9 interview. “She taught me a lot. She taught me a lot of really good things about being strong, standing up for myself, using my voice. And I’m forever grateful for her and for the relationship that we had.”
“Even though at times it was complicated,” she concluded, “it was still really good.”
