Friday Night Lights fans, don't fret! Though my friends over at E! Online have just reported that FNL's Aimee Teegarden has been cast on 90210, this does not mean we're seeing the last of Dillon, Texas this season. Sources tell me exclusively that Teegarden's character Rhonda is a West Beverly student who takes center stage in just one particular episode when Annie's boyfriend, Ethan, injures her in a freak car accident. Seems Rhonda is a sweet and quiet soul who Ethan hadn't noticed before the incident, but the two will become friendly as she recovers in the hospital. No word on whether the friendship will extend past the hour, but if NBC and DirecTV decide to renew FNL for a fourth season, this 90210 role certainly won't prevent Teegarden from being a part of it... So, thoughts on J Taylor's trip to BH?

Funny how she managed to find a show with even lower ratings than FNL ;)

Too bad it wasn't Ethan and Annie that were in the hospital.

What is the latest on FNL?? Any word on the ratings, whether DirecTV is satisfied, etc??

So long as it doesn't effect her being on Friday Night Lights, fine, good for her. I hate the new 90210, but Aimee is a great actress and deserves to get work. Plus, maybe this will bring some 90210 viewers over to Friday Night Lights!

FNL fared moderately well in its season premiere on Directv.(400,000) 7th for the night among men and 2nd among women. Nothing to write home about. I don't know how the subsequent episodes fared ratings wise.
