Some press reports, however, have said the daughter of series creator Aaron Spelling is angry that Fox won't give her a pilot and bitter toward tempestuous former co-star Shannen Doherty, who is appearing on the program. The reunion will include interviews with Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, Doherty and others talking about their auditions and "what the show has meant for establishing their careers as successful actors," according to a Fox press release.
