Exclusive Spoiler: Is "90210"'s Gay Cat Out of the Bag? Looks Like it!

Spoiler alert! You've been warned!

Trevor Donovan, Michael Steger, Matt Lanter

It looks like I have an answer as to which character on 90210 is going to be coming out this fall — and it seems we might even get to meet his potential love interest. Or at least the guy who helps him come to terms with being gay.

New sides (pages of the script used for actors auditioning for a role) for the third episode from the next season came out yesterday (I've been checking every day since word first broke one of the characters would be gay), and while we can't be 100% certain, it does appear that the gay character is going to be ...

THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!

... Teddy. 

In the relevant sides, which also includes a gay character named Ian, it appears The CW tried to conceal Teddy's identity by referring to hm as Caleb, but it seems highly unlikely the show is adding two new gay characters, plus having Teddy come out so deduction says Caleb is really either Teddy, Liam or Navid. 

The sides have Caleb/Teddy and Ian cleaning gutters on the school roof, apparently as punishment for some altercation that took place when Caleb/Teddy punched Ian at a Bachelor Auction. 

Included during the scene on the roof is this following exchange:

IAN
You know what's funny about these gutters? They look pretty good from the ground. You can't see that they're really full of crap. 

CALEB
(whatever)
Yeah, no kidding. 

IAN
The thing is, if you don't get up here, get your hands dirty and figure out what is really going on, when the first big storm comes along, the whole roof could cave in on you.

CALEB
What the hell are you talking about?

Ian eyes Caleb for a BEAT. He's talking about Caleb.

IAN
What do you think?

Caleb looks away, purposely not picking up on this. 

CALEB
Can we just do this? The sooner we finish this, the sooner I'm done with you.

IAN
(not letting it go)
Not really. I mean you're still going to have to see my in school. And every time you do, you're going to remember what happened.

CALEB
(angrily)
Shut up.

IAN
Or what? Are you going to hit me again? You can punch me. You can call me a fag, but you're gonna have to face it. You can't make it disappear.

Caleb looks like he wants to punch him again. A beat. 

CALEB
You don't know what you're talking about.

IAN
Or maybe I do.

Ian then proceeds to nearly fall off the roof, but Caleb saves him and they proceed to bond. At least until a short time later.

CALEB
Look Ian, I shouldn't have hit you. At the Bachelor Auction. I'm sorry.

IAN
It's okay. I mean... I get what you're going through. Cause I went through it too.
(sincerely)  And, if you ever need to talk...

Caleb stiffens, immediately uncomfortable with Ian again. 

CALEB
Talk about what?

And just like that the hostility returns. As Caleb walks off, Ian simply shakes his head.

What makes me think the gay character is Teddy and not Liam or Navid? For starters, we later see Ian and Liam in the same scene talking to each other, so clearly it wasn't Liam and Ian together on the rooftop. 

As for Navid, since he's currently in a relationship with Adrianna, it seems unlikely he would've been participating in the Bachelor Auction and been the one to punch Ian. It's possible, but it seems unlikely.

The sides give us a few other details about Ian including the fact he is both handy with tools (he fixes the a broken gutter on the roof) and he can also sew, as he has made a costume for Liam for some sort of performance that Ian is in charge of.

Feel free to discuss the news, but as always, NO spoilers in the subject line of your comment!
