Shannen Doherty, known for her role in “Beverly Hills, 90210,” has paid tribute to her one-time TV fiancé and co-star, David Gail, who passed away on January 16 at the age of 58 due to complications from sudden cardiac arrest. In the iconic TV series that ran for 10 seasons, Doherty played Brenda Walsh, while Gail portrayed Stuart Carson, Brenda’s fiancé during Season 4. Their characters’ engagement ended on the show due to Carson’s involvement in drug dealing.
On Tuesday, Doherty shared an Instagram Story photo of herself as Brenda and Gail as Stuart, capturing a moment of them dancing together on set, without including a caption.
David Gail had expressed gratitude for his time on “90210” during an appearance on Peter Ferriero’s podcast in April 2021. Despite initial reports suggesting a possible overdose, Gail’s family believes the cause of death was heart failure. His mother, Mary, expressed gratitude for the support received during the difficult time from David’s dedicated fans and colleagues.
