JENNIE GARTH QUITS ’90210′

Posted by Richard Head

Jennie GarthJENNIE Garth has quit her role on the smash hit US TV show 90210.

According to the actress’ husband Peter Facinelli, Garth — who also appeared in the original Beverly Hills, 90210 — is keen to spend more time with her three daughters.

Garth only wanted to reprise her role of Kelly Taylor for a few episodes of the new look show.

She ended up staying in the series for more than a year — but now she wants to devote herself to life at home with children Luca Bella, 12, Lola Ray, seven, and three-year-old Fiona Eve.

“She’s just not doing it anymore,” said Twilight actor Facinelli. “It was one of those things where she was supposed to do a couple of episodes, it went a bit longer and now she’s moving on.

“She enjoys being a mother, and being at home. She wants to write more and I support her 100 per cent. She doesn’t need to work if she doesn’t want to.”

    Good for Jennie. She is as hot as ever and if she wants to have more kids call me and I’ll help you make as many more as you want. Damn she is hot!

    I’m going to miss her. She was the only reason why I watched. I guess if you don’t need the money why work. Good luck to her with her writing career. Enjoy more time with those beautiful girls.

    Hello Jennie Garth way to go. Hope thing are going your way for 90210 hope to see more of you when you come back to CW. Try to convence other actors to fill in the role of the counciler at West Beverly High school. Have Luke Perry to come back.

    you are a great person, a wonderful actress and a supermom. Kuddos to your decision and hope to see you acting again in the future!

    Good for you, not too many actresses can say I raised my children not NANNIES. You’re a special person and I hope your family knows just how lucky they are.

    Since she’s in a relationship with another “breadwinner”, I’ve gotta say BRAVO for leaving and being a full time Mom again. But if the money was with mommy’s job and not daddy’s, we’d all be yelling at her for doing something stupid. When you live in a household that brings in less than $50,000 a year on a single male worker, I guess you get a little bitter having a 4 year old knowing that Mommy can go back to work (at least part-time) in oh-so-few moments away…

    Hate to see you go…..would love to see you back someday. But you have the right idea. Your oldest is already what 12 or 13. You turned your back for a minuet and she was a teenager. It’s so important to enjoy your kids NOW, when they are little, because it goes too fast. I am a firm believer in letting kids be little for as long as possible. It seem that once you are an adult all you want to do is just want to get back to being a kid or at least a lot of the aspects of being a kid. So why do we put pressures on our children that force them to grow up so quickly….and then punish them for acting/dressing like 30 year olds. Kids aren’t going to fight for their childhood…they want it to go by as fast as possible. As parents, it’s our job to fight like hell for it. To protect and nurture it for as long as we can. One day they really do become adults and everything that it comes with….the good, fun & the not so good & not so fun. My daughter is going on 3 and I ALWAYS encourage jumping on the bed and blowing bubbles in her chocolate milk (“coco milk”). Other parents may say “No” to that but my thought is….where is the harm in it? It’s one of those joys in life that you can only really appreciate when your little….I love watching my little girl being a just that and doing exactly what she should be. Kids have the rest of their lives to be grown up’s….so let them get dirty, sleep in the middle, and jump on the bed! Go Jennie!!!…..Have never met you but you seem to be a pretty awesome woman, mother & wife and your priorities are exactly as they should be. :)
    But every now and then, check in with your fans. The’re are tons of us out here and would love to see you in anything you do. I’ve been watching you on TV for 15 years…so I cant say that I wouldn’t love to see Kelly Taylor come back is some fashion. :)
    Take care Jennie, & love those babies & that hubby of yours!

    jennie garth needs to comeback so does jason priestley. 90210 is nothing withoutjennie and jason. brandon and kelly need a reunion. brandon should have been the father of kelly kid not dylan because brandon been there for kelly more than dylan has and brandon would make an incredible father figure than dylan because dylan is wasted all the time and would never make a good father figure. 90210 is nothing without kelly and brandon. from your number 1 fan pauline salvatore
