When asked if a reference to Dylan on the show meant he would make an appearance, Perry replied cryptically.
"They own the name and likeness," he told a reporter, referring to the '90210' creators.
When pressed if that meant yes or no, the actor finally relented. "That would be a no."
Executives have approached both Luke and Jason Priestley repeatedly for several months, but both have declined to reprise their roles.
