“Personally, it never made sense for me to go back and play Kelly Taylor,” Garth, 47, exclusively tells Us Weekly. “I felt like our audience deserved more, so when we came up with this fresh concept, we were all like, ‘Let’s do this!’ ” Instead of reviving the characters they had portrayed during the show’s 10-season run between 1990 and 2000, they’d play heightened versions of themselves.
