Tori Spelling finally closes deal after many months of negotiations

Talk about a long labor!

After nearly three months of negotiations over Tori Spelling's return to 90210, a reliable CW insider close to the talks tells me the deal was finally signed off on today. "It's a done deal," I'm told.

"I'm really excited," Jennie Garth told our Michael Yo at yesterday's People's Choice Awards when asked about Tori's rumored return. As for what took so long, Jennie simply said, "I wish I could tell you. I think that whatever it was is resolved, and I couldn't be happier."

Tori is expected to appear toward the end of the current freshman season and could also pop back in on season two.

Meanwhile, Ryan Eggold says he's stocking up on breath mints on the off chance Tori will be following in the footsteps of the show's other two alumnae, Jennie and Shannen Doherty.

"It was very nerve-racking kissing Jennie!" Ryan admits. "Because she's Jennie Garth, and all my friends are freaking out." Asking if Jennie is a good kisser, Ryan shoots right back: "Fantastic."
