Why did you wait a whole season before starting to unravel the story of Teddys sexuality?
Did you know Teddy would be gay when he was first introduced?
We thought he was just a womanizer.
But thenand this often happens with characterswe started to wonder about the deeper life of the character.
Was he a womanizer, or was he really covering for something?
How will Teddys coming out story be different from Adriannas?
Adriannas was a much lighter story.
For Adrianna, having bisexual feelings was confusing but it didnt rattle her too deeply.
This is going to be a dramatic, at times painful, but hopefully ultimately cathartic journey for him.
How will the story unfold?
Does Teddy have an epiphany?
Hes had trouble reconciling the image that the world has of him with his own true sense of self.
And hes worked hard to repress whatever homosexual feelings hes had.
But early on in this season, something shakes up the structure of his life.
With stability and routine out the window, he has trouble repressing who he really is.
He acts impulsively and ends up hooking up with a guy.
So its less of an epiphany than an impulsive act that sets things in motion.
Lets talk aboutthatguy (played by Kyle Riabko, inset above).
SINCLAIR:Kyle is absolutely terrific, charming and talented.
He plays Ian, a self-confident, funny guy who is very much out and comfortable with his gayness.
Is there an immediate attraction?
SINCLAIR:I think there is an immediate attraction.
How long will Kyle be around for?
SINCLAIR:Hopefully he will be around for a long time.
Certainly for season 3.
90210doesnt shy away from allowing its straight characters to express their sexuality.
Will the show be as frank in its depiction of Teddys romantic relationships?
SINCLAIR:I hope so.
When did you inform Trevor that his character was going to be gay?
How did that conversation go?
I think he was surprised and maybe a bit taken aback initially.
