As previously reported, Trevor Donovan will appear on at least the first two episodes of 90210 Season 5.

And his character of Teddy will faced with a monumental decision when viewers next see him on the October 8 premiere: Should he agree to father a baby with BFF Silver?

That question will "be addressed in both the first and second episodes and it’ll definitely be a process for it to come to fruition as far as what he decides,” Donovan tells Entertainment Weekly. “He was as surprised as I was, and obviously he has to contemplate what his role would be in the child’s life, what his father’s role was in his life... there [are] a lot of issues that he’s concerned about.”

Combine Teddy and Silver's offspring debate with the fate of Dixon and the Season 5 premiere is setting up to be especially dark and emotional.

But don't worry, 90210 fans: "We got Naomi!" Donovan says. "She brings a whole lot of color.”

Do you think Teddy should father a baby with Silver?
