When news broke that beloved Beverly Hills, 90210 star Luke Perry had suffered a massive stroke on February 27, it sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. Fans and former co-stars alike were left reeling, trying to process the news about the 52-year-old actor who had become a household name. As details unfolded, many of Luke’s closest friends from the iconic series took to social media to express their love and support during this challenging time.
Shannen Doherty and Ian Ziering Share Heartfelt Messages
Among those who quickly reached out was Shannen Doherty, whose on-screen chemistry with Luke as Brenda and Dylan defined the early seasons of the show. In an emotional Instagram post, Shannen shared a throwback photo of the two of them together, captioning it, "My friend. Holding you tight and giving you my strength. You got this." Her words resonated deeply with fans, reminding them of the bond that existed both on and off screen.
Not long after, Ian Ziering followed suit, posting his own heartfelt tribute. He too shared a nostalgic photo of himself alongside Luke, writing in the caption, "No words can express what my heart feels hearing today’s shocking news. Let us all say a prayer for his speedy recovery." At 54 years old, Ian’s message carried a weight that spoke to the deep connection they had forged over the years.

The Details Behind Luke’s Hospitalization
TMZ broke the news first, revealing that Luke had been hospitalized after suffering a stroke. Shortly thereafter, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed the details to Closer Weekly. Firefighters and an ambulance had responded to Luke’s Sherman Oaks, California home following a 911 call placed around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The initial request had been vague, simply described as an unspecified medical emergency, but the gravity of the situation soon became clear.
What About the Beverly Hills, 90210 Reboot?
Just days before the news of Luke’s hospitalization, FOX had announced plans for a reboot of the classic series. However, it seems that Luke wasn’t slated to be part of the new iteration. According to Variety, the reboot would feature a twist: instead of reprising their original roles, the cast members—Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, and Tori Spelling—would play heightened versions of themselves. The premise centers around the group reuniting after years apart when someone suggests reviving Beverly Hills, 90210. Of course, the drama surrounding the reboot threatens to overshadow the show itself. While Luke and Shannen won’t be involved, the buzz around the project is undeniable.
Even without Luke and Shannen, fans are eagerly anticipating the reboot. One enthusiastic Twitter user exclaimed, "Ridiculously excited about the #BeverlyHills90210 reboot! Watched all the classic [episodes] about ten times!" Their enthusiasm underscores the enduring legacy of the original series and its impact on pop culture.
