When 90210 returns in September, it will include Trevor Donovan’s character Teddy Montgomery will come out of the closet as gay. This will be the third season of the series which was recently resurrected and relaunched. The thirty-one year old actor has stated that he is flattered and honored to take on the role.

According to Donovan at the Breakthrough of the Year Awards, “It was cool when they came to me with it, I was honored, flattered that they thought I could take on something like this and handle it in the way it is being written and what we shot so far is done very, very smart, very intelligent. It’s really going to deal with his inner turmoil, the battle, and the struggles for self acceptance that I don’t think gets addressed enough.”

The show set in the 90210 zip code (basically part of California) is about teenagers growing up. The show is essentially a teenage set soap opera.

The character’s coming out also comes as Donovan goes from being having a recurring role on the show to being a staple on the show.
