Thank you for writing about her. Her death hit me hard. Also, yes the county is a dumpster fire. It is hard to believe we’ve been on fire since 2016 and it’s still going on. I appreciate you trying to keep it light here, in your own way.

Her death really did a number on me too, oof. A big part of that is because I had breast cancer and so did she and I’m still alive and she now isn’t. But also… Brenda Walsh! So iconic! And then I started thinking about how she and Luke Perry are both dead, which somehow made me think about Matthew Perry’s tragic death, and how crushing it is to lose these pivotal figures from my youth. I guess I always felt like celebrities were immortal in some way? It’s just so sad. Anyway, thanks for letting me word vomit in the comments. RIP Shannen. 💔

Thank you for this. I’m older than you and I loved Shannen Doherty! I loved 90210 but I REALLY loved Charmed.

Thank you for this! 90210 was a core part of my after-school routine growing up and I felt this news yesterday for sure. You definitely captured some favorite moments!

Brenda Walsh Forever. Love the title. And I so love her too. 😊

Best not to project a future beyond this now.

(all roads "out there" lead me to futility, a fine place to be, except so not).
