Storylines

I kinda feel like there will be some downward spiral in a way for Naomi's character, but she's good at covering, so she'll still have that facade.

—AnnaLynne McCord on what fans can expect to see from Naomi in season 3 after being attacked by Mr Cannon. [27]

The third season of 90210 welcomed the students of West Beverly Hills High School to their senior year with a surprising new family and the destruction of another.

"We wanted to open the season with an event that has both physical and emotional ramifications for several people," said co-executive producer Jennie Snyder Urman, who added that the tremors would prove particularly life-altering for one teen. "One of them has a very serious injury that takes time to resolve and sort of changes the direction of his or her life." [28] It was revealed during the summer of 2010 that either Liam, Navid, or Teddy would come out as gay in season 3. [29] Co-executive producer, Jennie Urman said of that matter, "We want to address the issue in a real and relatable way." [29] The character was later revealed as Teddy.

TVLine revealed that a major character would find out that she was pregnant in the finale. [32] It was later revealed that Naomi was the character in question.

Cast

I finished my stint there and the show is kind of off on its own, and I'm happy to walk away. It was fun, there's a lot of energy. My friend was producing the first season of the new show, and so that was kind of my motivation to be a part of it. And then he left and it just kind of got a little wonky, so I was happy to be a part of it in the beginning.
