ABC Family has decided to pick up three of the networks big programs to join the slate of new originals this year. Greek, the teen drama that centers on college freshman Rusty (Jacob Zachar) who's determined not to continue on his bookish geekiness from his high school days by entering the Greek system, returns for a second season in July with a dozen new installments.
Kyle XY, on the other hand, has been renewed for a third season, consisting of 10 episodes. The science fiction teen drama follows Kyle (Matt Dallas) as he tries to understand the mysteries of who he is or why he has no memory of being a child. New episodes of Kyle XY are expected to air in early 2009.

Many actors exert great efforts when preparing for a role, but apparently, television actress Jaimie Alexander, who plays Jessi XX on ABC Family's Kyle XY, isn't one of them.
“I'm probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don't prepare,” Alexander told monsterandcritics.com. “I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it.”

ABC Family's Kyle XY returned with second half of its second season on Monday, and viewers finally learned the fate of Jessi XX (Jaimie Alexander), who was last seen hurling herself into a cliff. Apparently, she is still alive and kicking, which is more than can be said for Kyle (Matt Dallas), who, although still very much alive like Jessi, is seeing less action as the season continues.
“They took it all away and gave it to Jessi,” Dallas said in the January 21 issue of TV Guide. “Trust me, I've been very sad about it. Give me my action and my fighting sequences and all my cool stunts back!”
