Jessica Parker Kennedy, who plays Melissa on The Secret Circle, dropped some hints about what to expect from her upcoming storyline. She covers her relationship with her parents, grandparents, and how she and Adam combine forces.

After what seems like an eternity, The Secret Circle is back tonight. Jessica Parker Kennedy gave The Huffington Post some Melissa-centric details.

“My grandmother is a witch and she is a holder of one of our crystals, which we desperately need to get,” Parker Kennedy explained. “We kind of need to be sneaky and go around her because she would never give it to us — to protect us, of course, because she thinks if it’s in our hands it could cause bad things to happen.”

“Yes, Callum, my dear old flame, comes back and wants to steal one of our crystals,” Parker Kennedy previewed. “We’re in desperate need of finding all the crystals so that they can come together and we can each have our individual powers. Callum comes and tries to steal them. He wants to sell one, so he’s causing a ruckus. We end up in these crazy mines … Adam [Thomas Dekker] and Melissa do some serious ass-kicking together in the mines, which is gonna be really fun.”

Chris Zylka also spoke to The Huffinton Post confirming what producer Andrew Miller revealed about Jake’s grandfather, played by veteran sci-fi actor John De Lancie, being a conspiracy theory nutcase. Zylka also spoke about looking up to De Lancie on set and observing his technique as a lesson in acting.

Are you excited for Melissa to have a more expanded role? Do you think she and Adam may end up as more than friends?
