90210 has tapped Abercrombie & Fitch model-turned-soap star Trevor Donovan to fill the show’s “golden boy” vacancy, sources confirm to me exclusively.
The genetically blessed Donovan, who channeled Days of Our Lives bad boy Jeremy Horton for four months in 2007, will play Teddy, West Beverly’s own version of JFK Jr. 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.
Donovan, whose 90210 gig is described as heavily recurring, will debut early on in the show’s upcoming second season.
Okay, all you Armchair Casting Directors out there: Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Thumbs sideways? Comment away!
Soap star joins a primetime soap. Seems logical to me.

Um, he looks like he should a coach, not a student. Try casting age appropriately. It’s getting ri-donk!
he’s pure beauty and it was a great casting choice the other guys are all flabby
This guy has movie star quality Good eye CW you have yourself a star
if the stage name trevor donovan doesn’t scream ‘i’m a soap star who used to turn tricks on the boulevard,’ i don’t know what does.
I have to agree, he looks old to be playing a high school student.
he’s beautiful and i’m soooooo glad they cast him. Yaaaaaaaa
He looks great don’t care his age as long as I find him attractive and he has a nice body. Heck he’s in better shape than any other guy on this show!!!
Sorry, the guy looks sooo old and yes, his body is hot – but his face? Dustin Millegan looked much better.. thumbs down!
Seems a bit older than 16 or 17, doesn’t he? What was so wrong with Dustin Milligan, anyway (considering the context)?
YAY!!!!!
FINALLY THE REAL 90210 RETURNS!!!
THIS IS WHAT IT WAS MISSING, HIGH SCHOOL KIDS BEING PLAYED BY 30-SOMETHING-YEAR-OLDS
Ummm. I sat through his performances on DAYS. Noting in the article that he was only there four months should scream volumes to the talent that he displayed on the show.
Scream Volumes.
I don’t really see this as anything positive for 90210
he’s very talented and hot. you know how hard a soap opera is and there is only 1 take so give him a break. he’s way better looking than the other plump guy
Thumbs waaaaaaaaaaaay down, he’s playing a 17 yr. old, Jesus com’on LOL
Thumb wayyyyy UP for Trevor!!!
He sucked on DAYS,he’ll probably suck here too. What is he,like,25,26 maybe?
Actually according to IMDB he will be 31 in October. Agreed, he would be a great coach but student..that’s a stretch. Sure is hot though.
He’s 31 :/ I want Dustin Milligan back
Hi
I agree this guy looks way too old and his stint on days was not very memorable. I mean they couldn’t find anyone better than him to play Teddy. I think Landon Liberion would of been a better choice plus he’s gorgeous and looks the part, oh well I guess I’ll see Lance on degassi next year.
Stephanie
You are mad. I would love this man every which way and then some. who cares how old he is!
It seems a little old for a student.

Hi my name is Stephanie and yeah I agree this guy looks too old to play a high school jock and sorry to say this he’s not that attractive. His stinit on Days was not that memorable at all, they could of found someone much better than him, I think Lance Liberion would of been a better choice too bad he’s in Canada and on Degrassi next season. BAd move 90210.
Stephanie
NO more Degrassi bombs! Trevor Donovan is gorgeous and a very talented actor. Support the show and it’s actors and don’t bash anyone.
oh my god, he’s 30. I guess the new 90210 needs a “too old” actor like the original. See: Gabrielle Carteris.
PS – I’m a huge Days fan and hated his “acting”. Even by soap standards, it needed help.
what an aweful nasty thing to say. let’s see you try and do acting.
