HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Tori Spelling is looking forward to going back to high school.
Last month, E! Online reported that Spelling was once again considering a role on "90210," the CW's contemporary spinoff of the hit 90's teen soap that made her a star. And on Tuesday, the 35-year-old actress's rep confirmed to Access Hollywood that it's almost a done deal.
"She's thrilled," said Spelling's rep. "Hopefully the deal will close soon."
Last May, the network announced that Spelling would reprise her "Beverly Hills, 90210" role of Donna Martin, appearing as "the owner of one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills, a shopping hot spot that is frequented by the new cast of characters."
However, Spelling announced in August that she was not going to appear on the new series, reportedly after becoming upset in a salary dispute. According to DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com, Spelling discovered that fellow alums Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were earning $35,000-$50,000 per episode on the new show, compared to her offer of $10,000-$20,000 per episode.
"She thought she deserved parity, and she's got a point," an insider told the Web site.
Spelling has long expressed her wishes to join the new cast, ever since the spinoff was first announced.
"It was always my dad's dream and intention to make a new '90210' before he passed, so I know he is proud and he would be even more proud if I were a part of it," she previously told People magazine.
