This might not make up for the depressing news that all three Kardashians sisters will appear on the season two premiere of 90210, but it's a promising casting scoop:

Blair Redford has signed on for a recurring role.

The actor - who starred on a number of episodes of Passions and appeared last season on both FlashForward and CSI: Miami - will come aboard 90210 as Oscar, a British friend of Ivy's who moves in with her and her mother.

Look for this character to stir up some major trouble in his new zip code.

90210 premieres its third season on a new night: Monday, September 13.
