The CW's 90210 reboot has been needing a real hottie for a while — I thought Matt Lanter's Liam would fill the role, but he's turned out kind of skeezy — and so this casting news has me wondering if the show has finally found its guy. The show has cast Trevor Donovan as Teddy, a new big man on campus.
The former Days of Our Lives star (and Abercrombie and Fitch model) will be a "heavily recurring" character on the show's second season, starting with an episode fairly early on. The character is described as a JFK Jr. type, as Entertainment Weekly puts it:
Gorgeous, smart, athletic, charming, and naturally confident, Teddy has the unique ability to make any girl feel like she’s the most beautiful person in the room. And any guy like he’s a cross between Shrek and Jiminy Glick.
Gotta admit, he's not tough to look at. But is it enough to make you say "Ethan who?" And does 90210 need more than just a hot guy infusion to make you tune in?
Rocket Dog
They should have let Kellan Lutz' character develop more... I think that would have been cool plus with his success (Twilight) it might have drawn some new viewers to at least check it out.
1But that's just my theory
unless he's shirtless every time he's on screen, I pass.
2i really dont find him cute
3i find he looks like a hick and kinda intense
I don't think he's hot either. I prefer Liam or Ethan (and pretty much every guy on the show
)!
4if he dyed his hair dark and had better style he would be more attractive
5no way. Why does he look like Perez Hilton to me??
6really?! he's ugly...
7He's not cute. Liam is way hotter.
I like BabyNorbert's suggestion, more Kellan Lutz (preferably shirtless) please!
8Don't see the appeal. GG made me watch it with 3 hot guys. Don't think 90210 has got the same quality.
9Eww...
10Better writing and acting will make this show better, not a JTT look a like.
11I Personally Think He's Kinda Cute But I Do Agree With rivrchild.And 90210 Don't Need Any Hotties They Already Have Matt Lanter(Liam)
12Honestly, my first reaction to the picture was "gross"
13rivrchild - it's his eyes! he definitely has a perez vibe.
14He is just way too old. 31 yr olds should not be playing high schoolers. Bring back Ethan!
15That will definitely get me watching! Finally hotness is back on that show!!!
16he's 31?! wow.... no i don't think that he's hot one bit.
17the hottest on the show are mr matthews and liam.
other than that the totty factor is low.
gossip girl definitely got it right.
there are loads of cute american actors who would be a pull.
or they should make better use of actors involved already- though i don't find kellan attractive, i think the twilight obsessives would watch it more and bump up the ratings if his storylines were a bit more key.
I don't really think he's that cute...but 90210 needs a LOT more than one hot guy to save it.
18No. I'm going to miss Dustin! I'm so glad they at least still have the hottie that Matt Lanter.
19Weird. And his hair is not helping. Ew.
20Agree with BabyNorbert.
Why can't just make Kellan's character develop? He's cute, hot, ok, not a great actor, but he's famous. Why waste it with one or two scenes every episode?
He's amazing. He's definitely reason enough to tune in to 90210!
BTW, Ethan who???
21Hottie FAIL, CW. This guy is way too pretty. I don't know they ever got rid of Ethan. He was one of the only redeeming parts of an otherwise terrible show.
22Ew, gross.
Ethan was the only guy on the show that I really liked. Now that he's gone, I don't really think that I'll be watching.
23I think I would start watching the show if I didn't lose IQ points just from seeing the commercials.
24I like the blonde boys! If you do a google search on him you will see him with no shirt and he has a ripped hot body!
25Trevor is really HOT i will definitely watch the show cuz of him. Ethan was blah and had no body. none of the guys on the show do. but Trevor has the best body i have ever seen
26For sure i will watch because of him! Did you see his pictures? i don't care how old he is just how hot he is and Trevor is smoking hot and sexy
27Uh Duh easy YEA! Teddy will make this show fun to watch. he's pure sexy
28Pffffffffffffffff this guys bod is ridiculous! I saw liams body ewwwww i want him to kiss me xoxoxoxo you trevor
29I"m a fan of 90210 now just because Trevor makes me wet
30This man boy is beautiful i will watch him for sure
31Yes he will be the main hotty for season 2 for sure. good TV hes attractive
