First Kelly Taylor, now Harry Wilson.

Looks like the adults in the new “90210″ universe are not long for this world.

Just two days after Jennie Garth announced that she’s not really doing the show anymore, we find out that West Bev is not only losing its school counselor, but its principal too.

Sources tell Zap2it that Rob Estes’ character, Harry Wilson, will be written out of the show by season’s end. And since Harry is father to Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds) and husband to Debbie (Lori Loughlin), you can be sure that the Wilson family has some hard times ahead.

A rep for “90210″ confirms, “This is Rob’s last season on ‘90210.’ He’s a talented actor and we couldn’t have asked for a better ‘Harry Wilson.’ But if fans tune in, they’ll understand why Rob’s charcter is leaving.”

Estes released a statement Wednesday (Jan. 20) saying, “I wish the show, cast and crew nothing but the best. I am looking forward to spending time with my kids and exploring other opportunities.”

Word is, Estes’ exit is a result of failed contract negotiations. In other words, cash money. However, Estes apparently leaves “90210″ on good terms with producers and with The CW.

Who knows, maybe he’ll show up on another one of the network’s shows.

That seems to be the news on the Net. Last week, Jennie Garth’s departure was confirmed and just recently, Rob Estes, who plays the high school principal and Wilson family patriarch Harry on 90210, has announced that he too is leaving.

There has been talk that the actor and the show’s producers were unable to reach an agreement on compensation for the next season.

But an insider spilled to E! that the show’s producers wanted to concentrate more on the younger cast members and were willing to do away with the older ones.

“They just don’t want the old people on the new show anymore,” the source said. Say it isn’t so! They also want to distance the new show from the old one too apparently.

Jennie has other projects lined up already (including one with hubby Peter Facinelli) while Rob released a statement: “This is my final season on 90210 and I wish the show, cast and crew nothing but the best. I am looking forward to spending time with my kids and exploring other opportunities.”

His rep says that fans will understand why Rob’s character is leaving when they tune in to the show.

U.S. actress Jennie Garth is starring in a new family-friendly Web series called “Garden Party,” NBC announced.

The digital series from NBC Universal Digital Studio and the makers of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing is to be distributed on iVillage and via broadband, mobile and VOD platforms.

Garth, a mother of three best known for her work on TV’s “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “What I Like About You” and “Dancing with the Stars,” serves as host of “Garden Party,” a series intended to help families incorporate vegetables into their diets.

“I saw this series as an opportunity to help inspire, educate and motivate families like mine,” Garth said in a statement. “I found out that incorporating vegetables into your families’ life is not only healthy, but can be fun too.”

“Garden Party” celebrates a new vegetable each month and features Garth meeting with farmers, chefs, moms and kids to find new and exciting ways to get families to love their veggies, NBC said.

After a little initial flurry in the figures the re-work of the 1990’s hit show 90210 came back with a bang, guaranteeing a ratings success for the CW network.

With a whole new cast of characters as well as cameos from old stalwarts, the brand new 90210 delivers all the bang for your buck and all the glorious bitchiness and backstabbing of the original.

The next season is set to air in the close future – a date has yet to be released by CW as they gear up to debut their new line-up – but don’t expect to see all your favorite characters when 90210 returns to the screens.

Jennie Garth has already announced that she won’t be renewing her role as Kelly Taylor on the the next season and now RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that one of the new characters will also be noticeably absent.

Veteran actor and past soap star, Rob Estes, who plays Harry Wilson the school principal, has abruptly and unexpectedly quit the show amongst rumors of contract negotiations falling short of the mark.

“The bottom line is that Rob won’t be on the show next season,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “ The producers, the studio and Rob came to the conclusion together that his role had ran its course. There just wasn’t enough for Rob to do because the show is more about the kids.”

But going on to hint at the real reason for Rob quitting the show, the source continues, “Rob’s an expensive actor and wants to be challenged and it became increasingly clear that most of the penny lifting was going to the younger cast members of the show, who Rob adores. He’s absolutely leaving the show on good terms.”

But another source tells a slightly different story about Estes’ departure. “Rob’s not happy about it all,” the source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Basically they couldn’t agree on money and that’s all it comes down to.”

“Rob’s an experienced actor and feels he deserves to be compensated accordingly, but the CW just want to cut costs and they want to reward all these young, hot, up and coming, and therefore cheaper, actors and actresses instead.

“Rob was loving working on the show and was really looking forward to continuing to do so. Plus, to be frank, he needs the money, this is going to hit him hard.”

Jennie Garth’s story seems to be a little different though, Randy James, Jenni Garth’s manager, tells RadarOnline.com, “Jennie never had a contract on the show. It was never our intention for her to go on as a series regular, nor was it theirs. She was just doing the show episode by episode.”

“She came onto the show to help them re-launch it and I think that she enjoyed the time that she was on, and they feel she was valuable, but she wants to spend more time with her kids and pursue other projects. She has three young daughters and isn’t interested in that heavy of a workload at this point in her life.”

“Saying she quit the show isn’t a fair way to put it because she was never under contract. When there was a storyline that she enjoyed and fit her schedule, she’d go on and do it. It was a very casual relationship. There were no contract or money disputes at all.”

The 90210 star — who has been linked to Twilight Saga: New Moon hunk Kellan Lutz – says her perfect partner will be “a man, not a boy” because she likes confident men who will stand up to her.

“I’m single and I do have a type of guy,” she said. “I want a man, not a boy. That’s very important. There are a lot of boys [in Hollywood], even 45 years old….

“Not one who thinks he is a man, one that actually is a man. There’s a difference. I think it’s mostly about confidence. It’s just like with what I do, especially the roles I play, they are kind of naughty.

“I have to have someone who is confident, who is secure in themselves. I’m a little fighter, so unless you’re going to fight me and win — which you probably won’t, I’m hoping that you will, I’m really pulling for you, but you’re not going to win.”
