David Gail, best known for his work on Beverly Hills, 90210, and Port Charles, passed away at 58.
News of the beloved actor’s death first broke via Instagram by Peter Ferriero, the Beverly Hills 90210 Show podcast host.
Peter revealed over the weekend that he had just been informed of the scene-stealer’s passing but noted that he was “grateful” to have had the opportunity to chat with him.
Gail is best known to teen drama fans for playing Stuart Carson, the love interest of Shannen Doherty’s Brenda Walsh.
Although he had a recurring role from 1993-94, his character significantly impacted Brenda, and their initial dynamic enthralled fans.
Sadly, the relationship just wasn’t built to last. Teen dramas tend to put their characters through the wringer before they find their endgame love.
