According to Michael Ausiello, the new 90210 will see another old cast-member return to the show.

Jason Priestley has apparently signed on to do an episode for the CW show, but instead of acting he will be directing the 18th episode of this season.

He isn’t alone either, Shannen Doherty could also be returning for two more episodes later in the season, producer Gabe Sachs said that Doherty is “in talks.”

As for if the former onscreen siblings will be working together, Sachs says “I think it would be a kick for Jason to work with any of his former 90210 costars, and it would also add something special to that episode, but we don’t know whether that will happen yet.”

The Variety reports that Sarah Michelle Gellar is looking to finally return to television in a half-hour project with Charles Randolph, a writer for HBO.

The Wonderful Maladys is set in Gotham and revolves around the dysfunctional lives of three adult siblings who lost their parents at a young age.

The former Buffy The Vampire Slayer actress’ character is described as “a kind of zealous immaturity, like a drug addict with a to-do list.”

The much hyped two-hour season three premiere of NBC’s Heroes didn’t live up to expectations in the ratings.

The show was down 25% from last year’s season two premiere of the show, which has been on a nine-month hiatus thanks to the writers strike.

The show averaged at 9.9 million viewers, for the 9PM slot the show came in second after ABC’s Dancing With The Stars (averaged at 21.1 million viewers) and for the 10PM slot it came in second again behind CBS’s CSI: Miami (16.9 million viewers).

While The CW’s Gossip Girl held steady in the ratings with 3.4 million viewers, only down 300 thousand from last week’s all time high for the show.

Nip/Tuck Wants A Raise

The stars of Nip/Tuck are seeking a hefty raise in their checks for the shows sixth and final season of the hit show.

The Hollywood Reporter claim that Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh who both play plastic surgeons on the FX show are hoping to get around $250,000 per episode, which is quite a raise from the $125,000 they made last year.

The show went into production on Monday (September 15) but behind the scenes things aren’t going so smoothly as the cast, which also includes Joely Richardson, Kelly Carlson and Roma Maffia, have hired top notch lawyers to help in negotiations.

The Reporter says that “a main argument for the “Nip/Tuck” stars is that while they will be available for other jobs, with the show slated to end its run in 2011, other networks might be reluctant to cast them in new roles while their “Nip/Tuck” characters still appear on FX.”

More than likely they will receive the extra money in a bonus check.
