Honestly, I'm not sure I can take much more of this.

After recent casting news pointed to the cancellation of this season's best new comedy, the CW's Aliens in America, I've just received word that Jessica Stroup of Reaper has been cast on the new 90210 pilot.

The good news? She's totally not the girl I thought she was: Andi (Missy Peregrym), the show's leading lady, who looks like this...

But rather Cady...aka the devil's spawn and our main man Sam's (Bret Harrison) latest love-conquest-gone-bad, who looks like this...

Why is this good news? Because Jessica is not a series regular like Missy, and so far none of the core cast of Reaper have been signed on to other series, as far as I've seen.

So here's my desperate, whiny, plea to the CW: Pleeeeease keep Reaper around. That show has become so outstanding and funny and smart in recent episodes, I might die a little if it does. And I know I'm not alone—just look at the bajillions of fan comments below. (Ahem. Yes, that is the cue for you who are reading this to profess your Reaper love below!)

As for Jessica's role on 90210, she'll play Silver, a good friend of Annie's (Shenae Grimes) who produces the YouTube type video series Answers to Life's Inane Questions Answered by a 15-Year-Old in a Bikini.

Here's one of the noninane variety: What can we Reaper fans do to save this series?
