The CW is notorious for the ages of their “teen” characters, but this has to be one of the worst. Trevor Donovan joined the cast of 90210 in their second season as Teddy Montgomery and soon became a fan favorite, which kept him there until the show wrapped in 2013. While Teddy was 16 or 17 when he first appeared on the show, Donovan was 31. No wonder his body was so developed at such a young age.
