We hate to be the one to start a Rumer, but here's one we'll pass along: Rumer Willis, whose lesbian character Gia made a couple blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearances on '90210' earlier this season, will be returning in a major way -- for a romance with a main (and straight) character.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Gia, who works on the school newspaper, will be hooking up with teen mom and fellow journalist Adrianna, played by Jessica Lowndes. Though to hear the producers tell it, this won't be just a simple sweeps week hook-up.
"We're coming at this [relationship] from a genuine place and not going, 'Let's do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.' This is a real aspect of teenager life that's interesting," swears executive producer Rebecca Sinclair. "There's been a real void in the '90210' universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters."
Whether or not this turns out to be a heartfelt storyline or just another ratings stunt remains to be seen, of course, but you'll have to wait until next year to find out: the episodes in question won't air until January.
