Lori Loughlin On Her Role on the new series90210

Lori says about her role on the show, “

What I love about my character is she’s not just the mom that’s home parenting — she’s got a career! She’s a photographer — she’s in the workplace. She was making a move from the Midwest to California, so it’s about her adjustment to her new lifestyle.”

As for the family Lori will be portraying, she says, “It’s the same premise in the fact that it is a brother and sister moving from the Midwest to California, but other than that, they’re not twins. One is my biological daughter. The other is my adopted son, who is African-American. So it’s a contemporary family. It’s fitting more of what’s happening today in families.”

But unlike the original show, Lori won’t be living the rich life.

She continues, “Yes, modest living. We go to live with my mother-in-law who is ailing and played by Jessica Walters, and she was supposedly a big movie star in the 1970s. But we move in with her. So, we live in Beverly Hills but we’re not like in a big mansion.”

And finally, Lori adds about the show, “The spin-off is a whole new group of younger kids. They’re what teenagers are going through now in high school, and I’m the mom. It’s going to be really good — a little more interesting — because you’ve got like the parents and their lives and Rob Estes is my husband. I’m very excited about that!”

Jennie Garth (Kelly Taylor) will be playin a guidance couselor in West Beverly High, and will be making a few appearances throughout the season.

Tori Spelling will also be making appearances during the season, but will not be a season regular. She will be playing an owner of coolest stores that are frequented by the new cast members.
