Shannen Doherty: The most popular ZIP code on television is coming back.

The CW is developing a contemporary spinoff of Aaron Spelling's seminal 1990s teen soap "Beverly Hills, 90210."

"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas is in talks to pen the project, which has been put on the fast track by the network.

Details about the spinoff -- including which if any of the characters on the original series will make the transition to the new show -- remain sketchy. CW is expected to make a decision whether to order a pilot by the end of the month.

The spinoff is being produced by CBS Paramount Network TV, which absorbed original series producer Spelling TV two years ago. The original series starred Shannen Doherty, Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth.

We just returned this weekend from NYC. It was the infamous Fashion Week and the whole family flew back east to check it out. Liam was an old pro as usual on the plane and Patsy encountered her first fan. We stayed downtown in the now chic Meatpacking District. Our hotel The Gansevoort had an amazing rooftop bar with views of the entire city.Yet, among that skyline of beauty, the reminder of where two mirrored towers once stood. As dynamic as the week was it was bittersweet as the city seemed somber as 9/11
