A few months ago, before he was even a regular 90210 cast member, the TV Fanatic staff talked exclusively to Matt Lanter.

Now, TV Guide Magazine has followed our lead. The publication spoke to the actor that plays Liam this week, asking him about his character's future on The CW hit. A few excerpts follow...

On Liam's future: There is a stranger from Liam’s past that comes back into his life. He has a strong influence on him so I think there’s some rough stuff coming up for Liam and this character.

On a reconciliation with Naomi: They’re kind of each other’s kryptonite. We’re going to see them go through some ups and downs but I’m hoping they’re going to be a strong couple.

What about Ivy? When Liam and Naomi start to talk things out after the whole Jen thing, Ivy is a little bit jealous. She doesn’t really want to give Liam up yet.
