There are lots of interesting spoilers turning up for The Secret Circle, including a few that were dropped by Thomas himself! There’s more spoilers and gossip below the cut. As always, click the source link for the full scoop!
Huffington Post interviews Thomas & Britt:
In the episodes leading up to the break, we witnessed Cassie (Robertson) and Adam (Dekker) growing closer, and now the two star-crossed witches are an official couple, which, according to Dekker is “nice to play with” after so long giving each other furtive glances and shy smiles.
“In ‘Lucky,’ we’re definitely together, but there are situations in the episode that are already challenging for us, [like]arguments about parental history, and it’s interesting to already have a situation challenge us when we’re such a new couple,” Dekker said. “And in the following episode, you find out more about the ‘written in the stars’ destiny of our families and what that really means. I had a lot of fun shooting those episodes because Brittany and I got to get into the meat of those characters.”
…Sadly, that goodwill won’t extend to the rest of the circle’s parents, who all have their own checkered history with Blackwell — especially Adam’s father, Ethan (Adam Harrington). “We sort of hinted in ‘Witness’ that Ethan possibly wasn’t so clean or honest as he has pretended to be,” Dekker said. “What that really means, we find out in the next couple of episodes. The arrival of Blackwell, and especially Blackwell becoming so close with our circle, is the most information we’ve gotten from any of our parents, and it’s the closest we’ve gotten to really hearing the truth, and it starts to challenge everything that Adam has believed in his whole life.”
In fact, Dekker shared, Blackwell’s friction with Ethan becomes the main source of conflict between their children: “When Cassie, with her father, starts to unearth more truths, that’s kind of the challenge that it puts on our relationship of ‘Who do we trust?’ and it sort of becomes a bit of a competition of which parent is really the villain or the hero … but I will not reveal which one Ethan is — it’s exciting!”
“Lucky” is also a pivotal episode for Dawn (Natasha Henstridge), Dekker said, as we see her “reveal her true colors and her true past with Blackwell” — a theme that will carry through to episode 119.
TV Line interviewed producer Andrew Miller:
TVLINE | Let’s start with romance. Where is Cassie’s heart at in the upcoming episodes with regard to Adam and Jake?
Cassie’s heart is with Adam right now. Her heart wants to be with Adam. His gesture on Valentine’s Day really pushed it in that direction for her. The only thing that’s stopping her post-Valentine’s is the reappearance of her father. Adam’s seeming mistrust of Blackwell has driven a wedge between them. When we pick them up [tonight], she wants to be with him. They both want to see if the “written in the stars” thing really means something. Adam is now far enough away from Diana that he can concentrate on Cassie. They want to make a go of it. It’s just that damn Blackwell.
Andrew Miller talks with TV Guide:
What can you tease about Dawn and John Blackwell’s reunion?
Miller: They have fantastic chemistry. His return is completely messing with the expectations of our characters. For Cassie, she has come to expect this devil of a man in her life and he doesn’t seem anything like that. For the adults, they’ve had 16 years to stew about who this guy is and create this boogieman character in their heads. Dawn’s version of that is vastly different than Charles’ (Gale Harold) version and Ethan’s version. Who Ethan (Adam Harrington) is expecting and what Ethan wants to do about it to protect his relationship with Adam (Thomas Dekker) is what we’re going to feature in Thursday’s episode. We get a glimpse of what Dawn’s expecting. I think for Dawn, it’s like this pause button that happened when she was 16 or 17 years old. Now she’s finally getting to take her finger off the pause button because he’s back. She’s been dreaming of this meeting for a long time.
