Carter Stevens doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to choosing suitable boyfriends (with the exception of Max, of course), but will a new love interest change the "Finding Carter" teen's not-so-healthy pattern when it comes to choosing partners? We will certainly see...thanks to this brand-new casting announcement.

Jackson Rathbone -- who is best known for his role as vampire Jasper in the "Twilight" series -- is joining the MTV series when it returns for 12 new episodes beginning on October 6. The 30-year-old actor will be featured as Jared, a charismatic, edgy owner of a hip local bar -- and sparks will fly between him and his new employee Carter. Better not tell bad boy Crash about this one...
