Shannen Doherty's Beverly Hills, 90210 Costars Pay Tribute After Her Death: 'I Know Luke Is There with Open Arms' "I think that's one of the hardest parts for me is that it's now – it's 2 people from our original cast [who have died]," Garth said, referring to Luke Perry, who died in 2019 after suffering from a stroke. The What I Like About You alum said she's been imagining "a group shot [of the cast]," which also includes Brian Austin Green, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris and Tori Spelling, "and if you can imagine that image of that person in the group shot fading, and to disappear. Like, it's just — I can't really wrap my head around it."

"I was like, so mad, you know, I was, bargaining and saying, 'Why her? Like, why not me?' And I know.... I don't know anything actually, but there were so many feelings. I was angry — angry at her circumstances, at cancer. At the world for taking her away from her mom and her family and her dog. She loved Bowie so much." She continued, "It's crazy because we all knew she was sick. The whole world knew that, and I don't know why, but I just thought she would get better. I thought she would kick it. She's the strongest woman around and I just never thought that this would happen."

Our connection was real and honest. We were so often pitted against each other but none of that reflected the truth of our real relationship which was one built on mutual respect and admiration," Garth wrote. "She was courageous, passionate, determined and very loving and generous. I will miss her and will always honor her deeply in my heart and in my memories," she added. "My heart breaks for her family and Bowie 💔."
