The stars of the coming-of-age sitcom turned young-adult drama star-rocketed to fame in roles they’re still recognized for today. But one of the core members of the Peach Pit crew almost was too busy starring on another show to appear.

Eventually, Garth apologized for her bad behavior and the two became very close. That lasted for some years until the relationship was reportedly damaged in the fall out of Tori Spelling’s first marriage to Charlie Shanian. Thiessen was close to Shanian and didn’t take well to Spelling’s cheating (per E! News). Garth has always been close with Spelling and took her side in the dispute.
“We had a falling out and we grew apart,” she told Howard Stern in 2012 (per Digital Spy). “I was the one who was hurt, let’s just say that. I was the one who was hurt. It’s funny, our relationship started really rough and ended the way it started. It’s water under the bridge … I’ve moved on. I wish her well.”
