OK, here's the problem with this piece of news: We don't care. Not even a little bit, which may be the very reason the producers are kicking Dustin Milligan (aka Ethan) to the curb...
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Dustin Milligan, who plays affable jock (and one half of 90210's central super couple) Ethan, won't be returning to the show in the fall -- at least not full time.
Reps for The CW and producer Paramount declined comment, but a 90210 insider confirms that Milligan's contract option is not being picked up for next season. The source adds that the door is being left open for the actor to briefly appear in the fall to wrap up Ethan's story. (Entertainment Weekly)
See this just proves our original point which is, if Ethan and Annie are really the "central super couple" shouldn't they have at least a modicum of chemistry? Further, shouldn't we be at least mildly interested in what happens to them? We're on board with this decision. Way on board.
