(March 30) - '90210' will soon have a new leading man.
Dustin Milligan, who plays Ethan Ward on the revamp of the '90s series, will not return as a series regular next year, Michael Ausiello of EW reports.
Everyone loves Dustin. There was just a feeling that the character had run its course," an insider says.
Ausiello points to the hiring of a new show-runner for the series, Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair, as the reason Milligan got the boot.
In an interview last month, Sinclair explained she wanted to "reconceive things visually. There are opportunities to embrace California culture visually in terms of fashion and style; I want it to be more contemporary."
"If 'Gossip Girl' is about youth in New York. I want to [make '90210'] about youth in L.A. and Beverly Hills," she added.
