90210.. what really happened to why brenda did not stay on the show ...details please.?

Answer 1

Couldn't reach an agreement with the producers of "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) regarding specifics of her participation in the series finale so using edits and digital effects they removed her entirely from the next to last episode retrospective. An hour long special which included virtually every other actor in show's history.

Was removed from the teen soap "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) at end of 4th season (March 1994). According to producer Aaron Spelling because of constant conflicts with other cast members and repeatedly late appearances on the set.

Shannen had her wages garnished by California United Bank when she was on "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) because she wrote nearly $32,000 worth of bad checks.

On the special, Beverly Hills 90210: 10-Year High School Reunion (2003) (TV) she revealed that the hardest thing about doing the show was pretending that Jason Priestley, whom she referred to as "a total babe", was her brother. She then revealed that, years later, people often approach her and ask her about the "weird incestuous vibe" between Brandon and Brenda, their characters. She said her response is always "damn straight".

"Let me start by saying it wasn't like I walked out one day and said, 'I quit.' It was a very long process of quitting the show. Aaron got as fed up with me as I was with the show, and I think it was because the notoriety was too much. People were hating the character and I couldn't take the abuse that came with that. People couldn't separate me from her and I got sick of people assuming that I was as naughty and bad as Brenda was. It was all very hurtful." - Cleo Magazine, August 2000

Answer 2

Unfortunately (because I like Shannen) she is difficult to work with and gets a bit of an attitude. She also wasn't getting along with Jennie on set.

Same thing happened with Charmed. Attitude and not getting along with cast members.
