"Greek" casts a pop star as a part of Calvin's new storyline

Michael Ausiello has the latest Greek scoop: actor/singer Jesse McCartney will be joining the series. If you don't want to be spoiled don't keep reading after the break...

~-~-~-~ SPOILER WARNING ~-~-~-~

Ausiello reports that McCartney will be playing an old friend of gay pledge Calvin (Paul James), a jock who the Omega Chi and Kappa Tau fraternities will fight over. While Ausiello outs McCartney's character as straight, its good to hear that there's more in the works for the Calvin. While the last couple of episodes were pretty promising, Calvin's been MIA more often than not, sometimes feeling like another "barely-there gay" even when he has a storyline that moves forward.

It's been a little while since we've discussed Greek on the blog. How have you been feeling about Calvin lately? Has Greek been fulfilling the character's potential or do you think there are some missed opportunities with the character? Let us know in the comments!
