'90210' character 'will come out as gay'

One of the male characters on 90210 will come out as gay in the next season.

Entertainment Weekly reports that either Liam (Matt Lanter), Navid (Michael Steger) or Teddy (Trevor Donovan) will reveal their true sexuality in future episodes.

The show's executive producer Jennie Urman described the move as one of several "great storylines" in the new season.

She said: "We want to address the issue in a real and relatable way."

90210 will return for its third season on The CW later this year.
