Peach Pit's Nat is back on new '90210' show

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joe E. Tata is cooking again in the role of Peach Pit diner owner Nat for the new incarnation of “Beverly Hills 90210.”

Tata, who was part of the original series that aired from 1990 to 2000 on Fox, said Tuesday he was wrapping up his scenes for the pilot episode of CW’s version of the show.

It’s uncertain if his character will remain part of the series, he said.

“The coin’s in the air for me,” Tata told The Associated Press. “I guess it comes under the heading of magic test: Let’s see if the audience still remembers me.”

The drama about two high schoolers from the Midwest who move to California and enroll in West Beverly Hills High School debuts Sept. 2.

Other alumni of the first “90210” appearing on the CW show are Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling as Donna Martin.
