Jennie Garth opens up about past actions and mends fences with former co-star Dalton James, years after he was abruptly let go from their TV show after she offered her insights.

AceShowbiz - Jennie Garth is deeply sorry to her former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-star Dalton James. On the show, James portrayed Mark Reese, a love interest of Garth's character, but his stint was abruptly cut short after just 12 episodes.

"I didn't really look at how [that situation] impacted you or your future," Garth, 52, said during a candid episode of her podcast "90210MG", acknowledging her part in getting him fired.

The actress reflected on how she approached producers about the on-screen chemistry between their characters, which might have influenced James' sudden exit from the show.

James, 53, shared his experience of being let go from the series. He recalled being taken aside by a producer and informed that the show was heading "a different way" without his character. "I was pretty bummed about it, to be honest. But you know, hey, life is hard for all of us," he articulated.

Diving deeper into the impact, James explained that the departure came at a challenging period in his life. He had just become a new father and was dealing with depression.

Despite the unexpected career twist, he remained gracious, stating, "I'm really glad to hear you say that, because I've been seeing the character and then remembering and then hearing from different people how that all happened."

During their heart-to-heart, Garth expressed regret and empathy for not considering the broader implications of her actions at the time. "When you're young like that, you don't really look at things objectively from different perspectives," she admitted on the podcast episode.

James reassured Garth that he held no ill feelings and appreciated her reaching out. He remarked, "That's awesome. Thank you, and I'm sorry as well for my part."

Closing their discussion on a positive note, Garth reiterated her apology, hoping to clear any unresolved feelings between them.

The reconciliation between Garth and James offers an insightful glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of "Beverly Hills, 90210", a series that shaped much of 90s pop culture.

In addition to the apology episode, Garth and her former "90210" co-star Tori Spelling continue to delve deep into the show's history on their podcast "90210MG," rewatching the series with a fresh perspective.

The podcast has allowed both fans and actors to re-examine the beloved drama, offering new insights and reflections from those who lived it.

Despite cherishing her experiences on the original show, Garth regretted taking part in the 2008 CW reboot of "90210". "I wish I hadn't done it. No offense to them," she confessed, admitting she felt pressured into it but wished the new cast well.
