Carr: We don't have it all broken out moving forward, but he has a really significant arc. He's in the premiere. That story [about Donovan's contract] was put out there like he wasn't coming back, or worse, like we were eliminating him, and that was not the intention at all.
Can you tell us anything about what will be going on with Teddy when the show returns?
Olsen: With Teddy's character, with all of the characters really, this season is about identity and figuring out who you are as you're growing into an adult. For Teddy, that is even more complicated because he has this huge other factor having recently admitted he's gay.
Carr: We can tell you this: Last season he realized he was gay and he came out to his friends, but he hasn't come out to his family. That's the next hurdle for him. That's what he's wresting with. Teddy contacts his family to let them know he's gay. There are family members who react to that news.
Will he still be dating Marco (Freddie Smith)?
Carr: No, that relationship ended over the summer. But he will have other prospects on the horizon!

For me, the biggest question looking forward is how to deal with Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes). How did you go about redeeming her after all the very serious damage she has done?
Olsen: Well, Adrianna, in the final episode of last year, did have a change of heart. She did vow to become a different and changed and better person. So, we're bringing her into Season 4 in the process of that, and she has honestly changed, but she's going to now have to convince everybody of that.
Carr: When she comes into the premiere, she feels like the person she has to approach first is Silver. That is going to be more than a one-episode process. That's where she begins to realize that this is going to take longer than she thought. She's going to have to work harder for it. She spent her summer trying to be a good person, going out into the world and trying to redeem herself and show what a changed person she is. She'll have to win the viewers over as well! We're really excited, and not just about the opportunity to have her do something different and interact with different cast members. It's also just a really nice arc for a character to go through redemption and forgiveness. It's an interesting process among friends.
Naomi made it to graduation, but then announced she was pregnant. It's not the first time one of the teenagers has become pregnant on the show — so how will her story differ from Adrianna's?
Carr: We can say that we don't think of Naomi as a character who's a big liar, and we do know she has real feelings for Max (Josh Zuckerman). But we think the audience needs to tune in and find out how that's going to work out.
Olsen: And they will not be disappointed!
Are you trying to say she might not be pregnant when the show returns?
Carr: I'm not trying to say either way. It's not all a dream!
