Lauren Stamile of Grey’s Anatomy fame is joining the cast of The Secret Circle when the show returns from hiatus on January 7. Just what will her character bring to the mix?

The MyFanbase site in Germany interviewed Lauren Stamile about her upcoming role:

1. You just landed the part of Lucy on “The Secret Circle”, who has ties to Cassie’s parents. Can you tease a little bit about your character, her intentions and her role in the game?

Hmm. All I can say is that Lucy is a very complicated woman who is haunted by her past – a past that is tangled up with Cassie’s parents. I wish I could tell you more!!! The story is so good!!

2. What drew you to audition for this part?

I didn’t! Not that I wouldn’t have been excited to do so – I love the show! This was one of those rare and terrific times when I actually had it offered to me! You can bet I said “YES!” without even taking a breath :-)

From a fan perspective, it’s great to see someone who is a fan of the show leap at the chance to do it. Stamile’s first episode according to original reports will be 113.
