Yes! Hopefully the new season will introduce some interesting plotlines. Last year was incredibly awful and ridiculous.

- He’s in character. It’s a GH promo shot and his character is insufferably arrogant.

- Totally disagree. Hotness personified!
  Though, “Eugene Thompsen”? What an un-hot name to associate with such a hot man!

Jesus, you’re an idiot. It’s a headshot. He looks like a hot guy in a headshot. Not insufferably anything, and his character is hardly insufferably anything. Watch the show or stfu.

- Well, that was a mature response. What are you, 15 years old?

If Jason Thompson is only appearing in one episode as a detective..then the top secret mystery must not be that big of a storyline.

I only watch for Teddy. He better be back with a worthy storyline and sexy hotness

I guess he must have something to do with this:

“90210 spoilers: ….two of our favorites find themselves hitchhiking through the desert. Luckily, someone picks them up and gives them a ride. Not-so-luckily … he stops to rob a few gas stations on the way.”

Who are those two? Max-Naomi?
