Melissa sollte ursprünglich gay sein. Schade, dass sie es nicht gemacht hatten. Jessica Kennedy Parker & Phoebe Tonkin hatten Killer-Chemistry.

In early drafts of "The Secret Circle," one of the main characters -- Melissa, played by Jessica Parker Kennedy -- was gay. The show was based on a series of books first published a decade ago, and because Melissa was one character who didn't exist in the source material, there was a license to update the story. Initially, Melissa had a crush on her best friend Faye and was struggling to come to terms with her sexuality. After the show was further developed at the studio and the network level, Melissa became a straight girl with a thing for bad boys. At some point, some powerful person decided that was the story worth telling.

There's an argument to be made that if a showrunner/network/studio is producing a show about six teenagers, they have a responsibility to include characters that aren't white or -- if the characters are sexually aware -- aren't heterosexual. If a group of four ballerinas in a television dance class are given actual character development, perhaps they shouldn't all be white girls, shown in clear focus as their African-American and Asian counterparts mill about in the blurry background.

Außerdem wird WB wohl die Serie nicht auf DVD veröffentlichen. Finde ich ein wenig kurios, wenn man bedenkt, dass heute jeder Schrott auf DVD veröffentlicht wird. Ganz schöner Arschtritt für die Fans.
