As reported around the Web, Matt Lanter will debut on 90210 in February.

According to star AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi), here's what fans can expect from the character of Liam:

"There's a little twist at the end of the first episode that he comes on. They both kind of start off with crazy chemistry, like all about each other, and the ending is very interesting," McCord told E! Online. "So you see how it will develop after that, I'm interested to see after the New Year what the next scripts will be. The way it ends I'm like, 'Wait, I thought we had a connection, what's going on?'"

Will Naomi have a new love interest, or a new enemy, when 90210 returns next year?
