Either the Alphabet network is completely out of fresh ideas or they simply know a hot stud when they see one.  (Believe me, I’m not complaining.)

Since last fall, actor Eddie Cibrian (Third Watch) has been cast as the sexy boyfriend and/or ex in three different ABC shows.  He played one of Karen Darling’s ex-hubbys on Dirty Sexy Money and he was fixed up with Christina Applegate on Samantha Who?.  Now the actor is going to sex things up one more time.

Starting tonight, Cibrian can be seen on Ugly Betty as Justin’s gym teacher and as a new love interest for his student’s mother.  Wow.  And I thought Santos was hot.  Hilda should definitely come out of her mourning now.
