Out with the oldies, say producers of the recently-resurrected Beverly Hils, 90210. Fans of The CW’s revamped version of Aaron Spelling’s ’90s primetime soap will be seeing significantly of the show’s senior stars when television’s hottest zip code returns to the tube for a second season next month.

Series bosses want the show to adopt a younger feel to compete with its network rival Gossip Girl, The National Enquirer reports. For 90210’s sophomore season, producers are expected to downplay older actors and up the airtime for the show’s sizzling twentysomethings, like Jessica Stroup, AnnaLynne McCord, and Jessica Lowndes.

“If Gossip Girl is about youth in New York, I want to make ‘90210′ about youth in L.A. and Beverly Hills,” producer Rebecca Rad Kishner Sinclair recently remarked.

“‘90210′ is out to compete with ‘Gossip Girl,’ so young hotties AnnaLynne McCord, Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup, and Jessica Lowndes and a host of male eye candy will rule the day,” a source reveals in the Sept. 7 issue of The Enquirer.

“Veteran stars Rob Estes and Lori Loughlin have had their camera time drastically cut, and Jennie Garth won’t reappear until the third episode.”
