Not Just Rumer! More Gay On The Way On 90210?

We know all about Rumer Willis and her gig on 90210 as a lesbian who falls for Adrianna (played by Jessica Lowndes).

But are there more gay characters to come to West Beverley?

Showrunner Rebecca Sinclair says she is all for it! In fact, she is shocked that a homocentric storyline hasn't happen sooner!

In a recent interview, she revealed:

Where did the idea for the Gia-Adrianna story come from?
REBECCA SINCLAIR: There's been a real void in the 90210 universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters, so it was always my intention to find the right way to tell a modern story about being a non-straight ' or non-entirely straight ' teenager. It's crazy that we don't have any stories about that.

Lesbian flings have become something of a cliche on primetime soaps. How will this one be different?
SINCLAIR: This isn't a fling. 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

After the Gia-Adrianna romance ends ' assuming it will eventually end ' will you continue to maintain a gay and lesbian presence on the show?
SINCLAIR: I would love to. I would love to have a gay guy [on the show]. It's a huge part of what high school is. I feel like the objective, aside from any political or social prosthelytizing, is to make as many interesting relationships as possible. I would very much like to have multiple gay relationships on the show.

Of the male characters you currently have on the show, who do you think is most likely to follow Adrianna's lead?
SINCLAIR: [Laughs] I don't know if there's anyone in particular. There has been some internal debate about this. I feel like as we dig into the show and hopefully make it more specific and unique and interesting, we would get into the real stuff that goes on from both the guys' and girls' perspective.

Hell yes!

Making things saucy in the their sophmore season!

We like it!
