It seems that ABC Family’s Greek has been well-received especially in its second season run. The ratings for the comeback show have definitely shown an improvement from its freshman season results. A press release from ABC Family states that the show has indeed set a record in its season premiere, hitting a remarkable score with viewers aged 12-34 and females 12-34. In fact, the show’s premiere episode climbed 78% in viewership, with series highs of 1.6 million total viewers, 1.2 of which were viewers aged 12-34.
Compared to its freshman debut in the summer of 2007, the show's sophomore premiere increased by three digits, with a 102 percent increase in the Adult viewership category, 134 percent increase in the Women's viewership category and 103 percent increase among viewers aged 12-34. While the show is experiencing a major boost in ratings, one of its stars is also taking a major leap into film, in which he will share the screen with renowned actor Nicolas Cage.

A couple of weeks ago, Greek came back with its sophomore season, which promised us the return of Frannie (Tiffany Dupont). Fans were glad to see Casey (Spencer Grammer), Rebecca (Dilshad Vadsaria) and Ashleigh (Amber Stevens) back at ZBZ stirring up more drama than ever before. Last week, we saw Casey and Ashleigh as they found out that they have been pining over the same guy. We also saw the girls stressing out over preparations for a crush party, while Max (Michael Rady) sought some advice regarding his education.
Tonight, Episode 2.03 “Let’s Make a Deal” will air to continue where we left off last week.

Last week, the highly-anticipated second season of ABC Family’s Greek kicked off with Casey (Spencer Grammer) trying to deal with the consequences of Rebecca’s (Dilshad Vadsaria) actions during spring break, forcing her to decide whether to kick her out of Zeta Beta Zeta or not. Teagan (Charisma Carpenter) adds to the pressure by dropping by to make sure that the “Rebecca situation” is taken care of.
Tonight, we’ll get to see Casey and Ashleigh (Amber Stevens) realize that they have a crush on the same guy, played by Jesse Williams. The girls get busy preparing for a crush party, while elsewhere, Rusty (Jacob Zachar) turns to Max (Michael Rady) for some advice regarding his education.

Fans can’t wait for 8pm tonight as Greek returns to ABC Family with its highly-anticipated second season. Last year, we saw Tiffany Dupont’s character, Frannie Morgan, lose her title as the president of Zeta Beta Zeta to Casey Cartwright (Spencer Grammer). Frannie took a hiatus only to come back squeaky clean last Spring. However, the question stands: Is this new image for real, or is it just a sneaky front? Tiffany Dupont talks to Zap2It to reveal some juicy tidbits on what’s to come in the new season debuting tonight.
"I think the idea was to build up [the mystery]. Where is Frannie? What happened to her? Is she coming back or not?" Dupont said of her character's disappearance. "So hopefully that played well when she did return in the fourth episode. I think it was a bit of a surprise."

Yes, you heard it right! Crossovers are the in thing again nowadays, with actors and actresses volunteering to snag some extra air time on their favorite shows.

Conrad, whose fashion career has recently gone up to new heights after landing a dress-designing gig for the Emmys, has set her eyes on a TV show in which she wants to appear in as herself. EW recently reported that the 22-year-old reality star is gearing up for a guest appearance on ABC Family’s Greek. In fact, she recently signed on to appear in the October 28 season 2 finale, where she will be playing herself.
Series creator Sean Smith revealed that Conrad, who will be shooting her Greek stint in early September, will be playing a spiritual adviser to Spencer Grammer’s character. Smith said, “It's a dream sequence in which Casey and LC are best friends. Casey has a big decision she has to make, and she's like, 'LC, what do I do? Advise me!'”
