10 TV Shows That Were Disrupted By Behind-The-Scenes Feuds
5. Diva Behaviour On Beverly Hills, 90210
At a certain point, an actress needs to stop blaming other people for problems on set and accept the possibility that maybe she's the problem. Shannen Doherty hasn't had a smooth ride on any of the shows she's been on, with at least two of them ending with major drama. To be fair, a lot of the problems step from having a group of teenage actresses all working together, which is pretty much a recipe for consistent backstage friction.
Cast members have referred to Shannen Doherty has having a lot of opinions, which is probably the nicest way to say diva. Doherty was booted from the show, with her character Brenda Walsh unceremoniously shipped off the the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.
At the time, they left her departure open-ended, so that the character could come back after a season or two if tensions dissipated. But it was not to be. Brenda was never seen on the show again (although she did pop up on Beverly Hills, 90210's spinoff show, Melrose Place), and Shannen Doherty began her illustrious career as being a professional difficult actor.
