Dylan's done gone. Luke Perry has confirmed that he will not be appearing on the CW's 90210, despite the reveal in Tuesday's episode that Dylan McKay is the father of Kelly Taylor's (Jennie Garth) son Sammy.

During a conference call today about his upcoming guest stint on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, where he will play a foster parent suspected of child abuse, he was asked about the possibility of appearing on the new series. Perry replied, shall we say, tersely...

Reporter: Now, the most recent 90210 episode had a reference to Dylan, does that mean that we'll see you there soon?
L.P.: They own the name and likeness.
Reporter: That’s a yes or no?
L.P.: That would be a no.

According to my sources at the CW network, executive producers have approached both Luke Perry and Jason Priestley repeatedly over the past several months. Both have declined to reprise their roles as Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh, respectively.

Luke Perry is keeping up a busy schedule of other television guest appearances. In addition to his role on SVU, he will appear on Criminal Minds this season as a dangerously imbalanced polygamist cult leader who takes one of the BAU agents hostage. Former teen idol Priestley, for his part, has been directing television, including episodes of ABC Family's hit The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

As for another original 90210 guy, I spoke to Brian Austin Green last week about whether David Silver would be joining ex-stepsister Kelly Taylor, ex-stepmother Jackie Taylor (Ann Gillespie) and half-sister Erin Silver (Jessica Stroup) in his old ZIP code, and he told me, "I've talked to them, and it's really just a timing thing right now. I am kinda busy. I am on Terminator." (Green is a series regular on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, playing John Connor's cranky uncle-from-the-future, Derek Reese.)

[littlemissbad]

thats sad, i kinda wouldhave liked to have seen dylan again, but nevermind. xoox

[courvid]

yeah it would be nice to see him back but now shannen is done filming, we still wouldn't see them together on the show, and that would a bigger dissapointment i think.

i didnt expect luke perry to return to the show again, it would have been nice though.

[ferociouskitty]

hey, what do you expect? these people have had live the show for 10 years already and a lot of them have moved on to much better things i mean luke seems to have done pretty good for himself and obviously brian is great and i think jason is a little busy with his career and his ADORABLE little girl. but as for me i wouldnt mind seeing brian back on i think it would be quite a shock for ppl to see how our 90's hottie dylan has since turned out, no offence luke.
