A Fan Just Shared A Beverly Hills 90210 Clip With Shannen Doherty, Luke Perry, And Mathew Perry That's Absolutely Sobering

As a long-time fan of television and pop culture, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of loss when I reflect on the recent passing of three beloved actors from my childhood: Shannen Doherty, Luke Perry, and Matthew Perry. It’s hard to believe that these talented individuals are no longer with us, and it’s even more surreal to watch clips like the one shared above from “Beverly Hills, 90210.”


In recent times, the entertainment industry and its devoted fans have experienced the tragic loss of several cherished actors. For instance, Luke Perry, a beloved star known for his role in “Beverly Hills, 90210,” passed away at 52 in 2019. Following him, Matthew Perry, another cast member from the same series, died at 54 in late 2023. Most recently, Shannen Doherty, yet another beloved “Beverly Hills, 90210” star, succumbed to cancer at the age of 53. Since her passing was announced, numerous heartfelt tributes have poured in online. Among these tributes, a fan shared a clip from the teen drama series featuring all three late actors. It’s quite poignant to watch this footage now.

In simpler terms, the fan left a clip on Threads featuring an episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210” titled “April Is the Cruelest Month,” which is from the first season. This scene involves Shannen Doherty as Brenda Walsh and Luke Perry as Dylan McKay engaging in a brief conversation with Jason Priestly as Brandon Walsh and another student, Matthew Perry as Roger Azarian. What makes this clip intriguing isn’t just that Priestly is the only remaining cast member but rather the dialogue between Brenda and Dylan following the departure of Brandon and Roger.

In this episode, Brandon has an interview with Roger, the popular tennis player from West Beverly Hills High School. After talking with a friend and reading Roger’s screenplay, Brandon becomes concerned that the young athlete may be hiding some troubling emotions. This thought-provoking installment of the Fox classic series is particularly noteworthy, thanks in part to the early appearance of the future star of “Friends.”

It’s poignant to watch that scene now, given Matthew Perry’s personal struggles. Throughout his life, the well-known actor battled addictions to alcohol and drugs at various stages. Later in his career, Perry, who tragically passed away due to ketamine use, publicly shared his experiences. In his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” he detailed these challenges. As a result, watching that TV show clip is an unsettling reminder of Perry’s complex past.

‘No Space for Depression'” could be:

It’s still shocking to think that three actors from the scene have passed away. Sadly, Luke Perry died after experiencing two severe strokes and being kept on life support. At the time of his death, he was portraying Fred Andrews on the CW series “Riverdale.” Fred’s character met his end in Season 4 following a hit-and-run accident. The premiere episode paid tribute to Perry and his character, with Shannen Doherty making a guest appearance as a heartfelt nod to her late on-screen partner.

I’ve always admired Shannen Doherty’s courage and resilience in the face of adversity. Having gone through my own battle with breast cancer a few years ago, I can only imagine the strength it took for her to share her journey so openly with the world. Her candidness about her struggles and her refusal to let the disease dampen her spirits is truly inspiring.

Many people, including myself, are mourning the loss of her, Matthew Perry, and Luke Perry. The video clip above serves as a painful reminder of their absence. At the same time, it may evoke feelings of nostalgia for fans who cherished their acting talents. Their departures will be deeply felt, but they’ll forever remain in our memories.
