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.
