90210: Michael Steger talks drug plotlines, love matches, and a new side of Navid

No, that's not us with M.Steg. But we sure wish it was. (Patrick Wymore/The CW)

What's better than 90210? Getting 90210 spoilers from Michael Steger, that's what.

We chatted with the actor about what to expect for the rest of the second season, including some sticky situations in which Navid will entangle himself. Check it out!

The new episodes of 90210 are starting this week, what can you tell us about what to expect?
Well, Navid comes back with some "paraphernalia" and he's trying to recruit Dixon and Liam to help him get Jasper in trouble by planting drugs in his locker. Dixon is probably going to get on board, but Liam is definitely not.

Read on about Navid's crusade against Japser, his potential new love interest, and when we see something out of Navid we don't expect!

Navid has always been something of a good guy, but it sounds like he's going to be getting himself in some trouble this season. What was it like playing the darker side of his character?
It's very fascinating because he's becoming his own man. He's seeing that Jasper really isn't a good guy; he's manipulated Navid's best friend’s sister, he sold drugs to Adrianna, and Navid is really just trying to bring him down.

Some of what makes Navid compelling as a character is his integrity as a journalist and the way he pursues big stories. Will he and his team be breaking any other big headlines in the upcoming episodes?
They're going to keep working at stories about student drug abuse. Lila, Navid's star reporter, will be left in charge with a very important job at The Blaze. She ends up allowing herself to be manipulated and not doing the job well.

It looks like Navid might have some pretty stiff competition from Rumer Willis’ character Gia. Is he still harboring feelings for Adrianna?
I think he's really trying to escape that relationship. I think he does still have some feelings for Adrianna, but he's going to have a new love interest with Lila. She's very similar to Navid in that she's just as ambitious and into journalism, and it's really going to help him get his mind off Adrianna.

Could that have repercussions for their professional relationship at The Blaze?
It could, it’s definitely going to show some other colors of Navid that we don't usually see.
