TV Alert: Rumer Willis plays gay on "90210" tonightTonight marks the return of 90210 on the CW, which means we'll finally get introduced to Rumer Willis's lesbian character, Gia, who we don't know much more about than to say she's "punky" and will show up in the student newsroom.
However, it appears that there isn't really any dialogue to clue us into her gayness — at least not yet. Even the actress herself said she isn't sure what is in Gia's future — or if she even has one. "I don't know yet," Willis told E! "I've only done two episodes, and we're just kind of seeing how she fits in with the storyline and how she fits in with the group."
Rumer told the Chicago Sun-Times that she hopes the role will help "expand awareness" of LGBT issues. "It's tough enough going to high school, but if you're gay and that young, that's even tougher," she said. "Many kids can not only not tell their parents, they feel they can't tell their friends at school. .... I just hope some young women will watch the show and gain some confidence." OK, Rumer, show us what Submitted by on September 8, 2009 - 12:00pm. |

True.. lesbians don't last that long
It will be either one or two episodes and then she will mysteriously disappear... or I dunno... reconsider her homosexuality... But I think she will definitely won't last.

I'm excited about this, even
I reccomend
Let AfterEllen watch a few episode for you first and then they'll tell you if its going to be dumb 4 episode thing. That is what I would do if I was at all interested in this plot. Sometimes I just wish straight tv shows would leave gay plots/characters alone because they always mess up unless they are written by Joss Whedon or something.
I for one....
Rumer Willis
*Squeeee*
Um..yeah, hope nobody saw that ¬_¬
I think I actually like her better than Camila Grey now.
But what is with those Olive-from-On-the-Buses glasses??
guess I'll watch
I watched
But didn't see Rumor. Perhaps she is on next weeks episode?
But I think I may be one of the few that watch this show anyways. It keeps me entertained enough to tune in weekly. Mostly a nostalgic thing. But to anyone who does watch... what's up with Silver totally conforming? she dresses all different now and acts all different. Weird. I still think she should have been the gay character dammit.
not a big fan of the show
They aren't my "straight
