90210 - Freddie Smith joins cast

90210's Teddy (Trevor Donovan), who's just be starting to come to terms with his sexuality, has a new boyfriend in the wings.

Newcomer Freddie Smith (Medium) has been cast as Teddy's newest love interest, Marco, Movieline reports.

The casting call described Marco as super athletic, friendly and openly gay. We'll see how Teddy handles that last part since he asked openly gay fellow West Bev student Ian (Kyle Riabko) to keep their relationship secret in Monday's episode.

Smith will essentially replace Riabko, who's reportedly leaving the show to make himself available for pilot season. Smith is scheduled to make his first appearance in February.
