Michael Desmond/The CWAnnie (Shenae Grimes) is in some big trouble this season, owing to the fact that she murdered a man in the season-one finale of 90210. Things take a turn for the worse when her victim's nephew, Jasper Herman, shows up. And who's playing that nephew? Zachary Ray Sherman (Fifteen and Pregnant), his rep confirms.
"He's the nephew of the guy that Annie hit, and you get to see how he encompasses himself into the relationships of Beverly Hills," Tristan Wilds tells us.
Want to know who it is in particular he's getting close to? We have the exclusive details from the castmembers themselves...
"He's totally that Christian Slater in Heathers kind of vibe—that creepy older dude who you just can't take your eyes off of," Shenae tells us. "I have a bad feeling in my gut, and I think he's going to take Annie for a little bit of a spin." Their new friendship may turn a little personal, though: "She thinks she finds love and that may screw her up a little more," she adds.
So does Jasper know that Annie killed his uncle? Shenae spills, "My gut instinct is that he may [know I killed his uncle], but Annie hasn't told anybody. It's definitely a secret right now."
On the new casting of Zachary, she adds, "He is a phenomenal actor, and I'm so excited to be working with him."
A few of the West Beverly kids may question Jasper's motives, though. Jessica Stroup tells us, "Is he a manipulative person, or is he someone who's really honest about what he's saying?" (We can't wait to find out!)
