Over the last few weeks, we've learned that Jennie Garth and Rob Estes would not be returning for season three. But Diego Boneta is going in the opposite direction:

The pop singer is coming aboard for a recurring role as Javier, a young musician that appears in multiple episodes this May. Look for the character to have a fling with Adrianna... who joins an all-girl band!
