Many of Tori Spelling Beverly Hills, 90210 costars can’t wait to see her compete for the Mirrorball trophy Dancing with the stars!
Brian Austin Green, Gabrielle Carteris, Jennie Garth and Ian Ziering gathered at 90210 panel at 90s Con hosted by PEOPLE’s Dory Jackson on September 14 in Daytona Beach, Fla. (Spelling was also scheduled to attend, but dropped out a few days before the event.)
During the conversation, they celebrated the upcoming performance of their former colleague DWTS. Earlier this month, Spelling, 51, was announced as one of 13 contestants on the dance competition series’ 33rd season. He is in partnership with professional Pash Pashkov.

Green, 51, Garth, 52, Ziering, 60, and Carteris, 63, all agreed the experience was “difficult,” but each shared their well wishes for Spelling with the audience.
Green, who competed in the 30th season DWTS with now-fiancée Sharna Burgess, said: “Keep your head up, enjoy the experience,” he said, adding: “It’s a seven-day-a-week job.”
Garth remarked, “I’m so excited for her, I think she’s going to do great,” while Carteris added that she’s “really, really excited” for Spelling.
“We’re all rooting for her,” Ziering interjected before urging the crowd to support the actress. “Make sure you do the same.”

Shortly after the Season 33 cast was announced, Spelling told PEOPLE exclusively that Green inspired her to join the show.
“Brian Austin Green knew the whole time since I got that phone call,” she said. “So the whole time I was like, ‘I don’t know if I should do it or not,’ but he said, ‘You’re going to be amazing, you have to do it.'”

During the Con 90s panel, the four actors also paid tribute to their late co-star Shannen Doherty. The group reunited publicly just two months after Doherty died on July 13, nearly a decade after being diagnosed with cancer. She was 53 years old.
Green recalled his longtime friend’s “incredibly brave” and “difficult” cancer journey. “She is an incredible example to me for everyone [how] she put her challenges and her health issues aside and really wanted to share the experience of it all with everyone, and it was incredibly brave,” he said. “To go through something so difficult and be open to complete transparency and share it with everyone is brave. ”
Carteris noted how the actress became an inspiration to the people in her life. I have a friend who is really sick with cancer right now and she said that Shannen really inspired her, she said. “I think her legacy really makes a difference for those who are struggling to know that there is hope.”
