According to Zap2it's Rick Porter, AnnaLynne McCord has been cast in a recurring guest-star role in Dallas' upcoming third season. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on McCord's role:
McCord has landed a recurring part on Season 3 of the TNT series as Heather, a single mother and ranch hand at Southfork. She's more than capable of handling her job, but when her "troubled" ex-husband comes back into the picture, she turns to Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) for help.
"Dallas" being "Dallas" and Christopher being Christopher, he also becomes romantically involved with Heather.

My thoughts: I've been a huge fan of AnnaLynne McCord's ever since she was on 90210, and I've always thought that she was one of the most enjoyable things about the show, so I'm thrilled that she has gotten a new acting job so soon after 90210's run has ended. Although, I have to admit that I often felt like her character, Naomi Clark, came across as a second rate version of Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. I don't think that's her fault though. She always did a great job on 90210, even when the writing for her character was rather lackluster.
I think guest-starring on Dallas will be the perfect opportunity for AnnaLynne to break away from playing characters that come across as spoiled rich girls and hopefully it will show people what she's really capable of as an actress. Based on the description of the character that she'll be playing on Dallas, her character sounds really interesting, and it sounds like her character will be a radical departure from playing Naomi on 90210. The only thing about this news that I'm not excited about is the fact that she'll be playing a love interest for Christopher, who is definitely the most unlikeable and annoying character on the show. Plus, I've always felt sorry for any actor or actress that has to work with Jesse Metcalfe, because he's a terrible actor and his acting seems to have only gotten worse over time, while AnnaLynne really grew an actress throughout the course of 90210's run. Regardless of that, I still think that guest-starring on Dallas is an amazing opportunity for her. That being said, I was already beyond excited for season 3 of Dallas, but this news has made me get even more excited for season 3 to start.
