00:16 - The Beverly Hills 90210 family

00:19 is rallying around one of their own.

00:22 Shannon Doherty appeared alongside her co-stars

00:25 for a rare public reunion at 90's Con in Tampa

00:28 on September 17th, where she received heartwarming support

00:31 from not only the cast, but also the crowd

00:33 amid her ongoing cancer battle.

00:36 Jason Priestley, Jenny Garth, Tori Spelling,

00:38 Gabrielle Carteris, Ian Ziering, and Brian Austin Green

00:42 joined the audience in a standing ovation for Shannon,

00:44 who has long been open about her health journey,

00:47 including the most recent news

00:48 that the illness has spread to her brain.

00:51 Attendees cheered for the actress,

00:53 who wiped tears while sharing after the panel

00:55 as she's used to getting emotional these days.

00:58 - Okay, thank you so much.

01:01 You guys know how much I love crying constantly,

01:03 and I do, it seems.

01:05 So, thank you.

01:08 I, what do I have coming up?

01:11 Honestly, you know, I have a fight for my life

01:14 that I deal with every day.

01:15 - The charmed alum was first diagnosed

01:18 with breast cancer in 2015,

01:20 and went into remission two years later

01:22 after multiple rounds of chemotherapy.

01:24 But in 2020, Shannon confirmed that the disease

01:27 had returned and reached stage four.

01:30 In June, the TV icon opened up on social media

01:33 about facing new treatment and surgery.

01:35 Despite her understandable fears,

01:37 the 52-year-old is still looking ahead,

01:39 telling '90s con fans that she's dropping a new podcast

01:42 in November called "Let's Be Clear,"

01:45 which she says will be a live interactive memoir.

01:48 The 90210 fam has stayed close

01:50 through their personal ups and downs over the years

01:52 and devastating losses like the 2019 death

01:55 of beloved co-star Lou Perry,

01:57 but they've always maintained a positive outlook.

02:00 Shannon even poked fun at her own love life

02:03 while on stage at '90s con.

02:05 She and her third husband, Kurt Aswarianko,

02:07 confirmed their split in April 2023

02:09 after 11 years of marriage,

02:11 and the actress joked that she considers

02:13 her relationship history one of her standout skills.

02:17 - I think I am really great.

02:20 My other profession is getting engaged,

02:22 married, and divorced, and I'm really, really good at it.

02:27 - It's no surprise to see Shannon

02:28 have such a great sense of humor

02:29 while also getting loving support

02:31 from her longtime pals and colleagues.

02:33 In fact, they've had each other's backs

02:35 since their early days on set.

02:37 In 2019, Shannon and Ian got candid with Access Hollywood

02:40 about the time he totally covered for her

02:42 when she wrecked his 90210 character's Corvette

02:45 in real life.

02:47 - Favorite old school 90210 moment of all time.

02:50 - Ian let me drive his Corvette in the show.

02:54 - No, home from work one day.

02:56 He used to let me drive the Corvette from set

02:58 back to, from location back to--

02:59 - Yeah, and I was going a little too fast,

03:02 and I hit a ditch, and the car bottomed out.

03:06 - Tore the entire oil pan off the bottom of the car.

03:09 - And Ian took the blame.

03:10 (gasps)

03:12 - What a standup guy.

03:13 - So that is one of my most favorite moments,

03:17 'cause I was already in way too much trouble on that show,

03:20 so he took one for me.

03:24 Otherwise, I might have gotten fired much earlier.

03:26 But I didn't.

03:28 They waited another year.

03:29 (laughs)

03:31 - So awesome.

03:32 I never got to drive that Corvette again off of set.

03:34 - Why not?

03:35 That's crazy. - 'Cause, oh no.

03:36 Oh no, can't go through this again.

03:38 But regardless, we had 10 years,

03:41 and how long Shannon worked with us

03:43 was also super memorable.

03:45 But it's times of our lives.

03:48 I mean, to pick one moment more than the other,

03:50 it'd be hard.

03:51 Any time I had a chance--

03:51 - I can pick them all day long, but you know.

03:54 - Working with these guys,

03:55 rather than all the ancillary characters,

03:57 rather than working with the guest stars,

03:59 working with my friends seemed to stick out

04:01 and are mostly highlighted in my mind.

04:04 (upbeat music)

04:10 (upbeat music)

04:12 (upbeat music)
