The Secret Circle EP Andrew Miller didn’t know his show was being canceled this morning when he phoned EW to talk about last night’s season finale and tease where a second season would take the witches of Chance Harbor if they were granted one. Below, you can read where the characters were headed. I’m most sad for the loss of the opportunity to see Gale Harold (Charles) go as dark as I’d hoped he be after seeing the pilot. In the finale, Charles redeemed himself by magically luring the six demons inside Eben into his body so that Dawn could save Faye, Melissa, and Jake from burning at the stake (okay, a pole on the old ship). “So now he’s in this comatose state with six demons inside him that can’t get out, in the hopes that soon — let’s say next season — there’s a way to extract those demons,” Miller said. “Who Charles is when that happens remains to be seen. That’s what we wanted to set up for next season: Can the people who love him help him in a way that brings him back to who he was, or is he gonna be someone completely different? He’s come a long way this year, starting off as a completely evil son of a bitch [when he killed Cassie's mother] and ending up making a self-sacrifice that was pretty stunning. If there is a next season, I suspect that idea of self-sacrifice won’t be uppermost on his mind anymore. He might revert back a little.”

That was what I’d been waiting for — Gale Harold unleashed. “You and me. We were so desperate to show consequences and responsibility, and for him to be an out-and-out bad guy, and a dad, and a guy who brought Cassie, which was so hard to do thematically. It may have taken a long time, but it feels like we can reset his character a little bit more,” Miller said. “He’s so good at being bad, we just needed to give him enough reason to go that way, and I feel like having six demons inside of him and doing what he did to save everyone is enough of a reason to go back. I’m hopeful for a very dark, cool, dangerous as hell Charles next season.” And maybe he could possibly have some sex, I said. “Yes,” Miller said, laughing. “If you’re gonna be dark and dangerous, why not have sex? What’s the fun otherwise?”

 

Miller admitted one of the struggles of the first season was finding the balance between the parents and the kids on the show. “Sometimes it felt like we were going too far one way or the other. But it was so important to keep this wall up between them because we just didn’t want scenes of the kids sitting around saying, ‘Hey, how do you do this?’ The parents would be doing everything for them, and no teenager wants that in their life. So we had to keep them apart, but in doing so, we weren’t able to utilize Gale Harold and Natasha Henstridge both the way we would have liked.” That would have been different next year, he said.

 

“Season 1 was all about empowerment. Next would be now that they’re empowered, what are they gonna do with it? That feels like a really fun season of television,” he said. Here’s what would have happened:

•  A reformed Dawn. Now that she’d seen what her selfish desire for power nearly cost her daughter, we’d have seen a different side to her. “I can see her being pitted against Charles in a very big way. Dawn really, not by choice, is becoming an elder essentially. She’s seen how close she was to losing the one love of her life, her daughter, and how badly she’d been betrayed by Blackwell, and how easily she was manipulated because of her thirst for power. I think she’ll become much more of an avenging force for good, and I think that will be a huge problem for the kids and what they encounter with these Balcoin kids,” Miller said.

• A bad boy Adam. The Circle tasked Adam with disposing of the Crystal Skull because he’s the most trustworthy and incorruptible, and yet, he looked like he was about to call it “My precious” the last time we saw him caressing it. “Adam has been, like Jake said, a Boy Scout earning moral merit badges for a season and it’s gotten him nowhere. At every step, he’s been doing the right thing, and he’s lost everything. And when he did the right thing by going to find Cassie and Diana and help them, he was completely useless. He was thrown around like a rag doll, even with his individual magic and determination, it wasn’t enough to do s— against John Blackwell. I feel like Adam’s the skinny kid at the beach who gets sand kicked on him, and is like, ‘This will never, ever happen again. I’m writing away to the back of a comic to be a muscle man,’” Miller said. “So oddly, he is the most vulnerable to the Crystal Skull’s seductive dark powers. I think he’s gonna go down a very dark path.”

• A bad girl Cassie. The Circle doesn’t fully trust her, she has no parental figure in her life, and Diana just left town to get away from her. Cassie’s also vulnerable to dark magic. “As she’s killing her father and he calls out to her and says, ‘We’re the same’ and it’s not enough to get her to stop, I think it is enough to resonate in her brain. When she’s home alone with nothing else, that’s when that dark magic is the strongest,” Miller said. “She’s always been our touchstone for the balance between dark and light, and I think in killing her own father, even though she had to do it, it takes her to a place just the other side of the balance tip, to the darker side. I’m dying to explore that, where it’s not just will she or won’t she, it’s like, Cassie’s in trouble.”

• A battling Diana. Cassie will embrace the dark side, but Diana, who left town with Grant, wouldn’t have. “She’ll strive to be better and fight against it harder than ever,” Miller said. “She’ll have to come back. She can’t run from who she is now that she’s been physically and emotionally marked like she has been. It’s gonna be a fun battle between her and Cassie.”

• A power-seeking Faye. Popping champagne corks with her solo magic wouldn’t have satisfied Faye for long. “These Balcoin kids coming in will present a very interesting problem for all of them individually. I think Faye in particular will have a big role in how these two groups come together. Her search for her individual and power and all the things that she wanted in the beginning of season 1 will come back full force. But because of these Balcoin kids, she’ll be closer to getting it.”

• A Melissa with bad timing. ”All she needed to do is find a guy who’s not a douchebag, and it’s not easy, and then there’s Adam, who seems like a good and might be the kind of guy that she should pursue — that may be something that’s on her mind,” Miller said. “Unfortunately, she doesn’t yet know like we do that Adam might be taking a dark path and may be becoming the worst bad boy that she’s ever tried to date. And that will be fun to see.”

• A good guy Jake. “Where Adam and Cassie seem to be heading toward this dark side, Jake is more like Diana, where he’s gonna become a force to be reckoned with, with these Balcoin kids coming,” Miller said. “Jake’s come to a place in his life where he knows he won’t be manipulated again. Blackwell, the guy who reached out to him and became his father figure, then tried to kill him. I don’t think Jake will ever let himself or any of the others be put in that kind of position again. When Cassie starts going down a very dark road, Jake will be the one who’s desperately trying to get her back. And that will complicate what he has with Faye, obviously.”

Jag har nyss fått reda på The Secret Circle, och undrar vad serien handlar om ? (:

Nu är det inte länge kvar hörreni! Om 2-3(Torsdag natt/Fredag) dagar ser vi det sista avsnittet Family. Jag har ännu inte fått reda på om det kommer en säsong 2 men jag återkommer när jag vet!

Thomas tweeted, “filming my final scene!” and “THAT’S A WRAP!!! #tsc” as well as a little shout out to Shelley Hennig, who plays the gorgeous Diana: “The pleasure has been ALL mine Ms @shelleyhennig !” (sic)

But it was the tweets from some of the other members of the circle that have got us in a bewitched tizzy.

Shelley posted: “This just I’n… @theThomasDekker WRAPPED. by far the most talented person I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.” (sic)

And Pheobe Tonkin, who plays high school witch Faye Chamberlain, wrote: “3 witches down 3 to go..”

Could she be spelling the end for the circle? Has Adam met his maker? At least Cassie has Jake’s shoulder to cry on.

Chris (Jake) pratar om The secret circle & Jake.

Idag/inatt kommer det nya avsnittet "Prom" (s01e21) ut.
Skulle ni ha missat trailern och handlingen till avsnittet så kan ni kika på det nedan!

It’s Prom night in Chance Harbor and after Adam uncloaks a crystal hidden in the school, Blackwell tells Cassie she can use her dark magic to find it. When Cassie follows this advice, it leads her to a dangerous discovery.  Meanwhile, Faye invites Jake to Prom, despite the fact that he stood her up two years earlier. Adam, Diana, Cassie and Melissa finally make it to Prom but when they lose the crystal to Eben, they end up in a life and death situation. Meanwhile, Dawn attempts to stop Blackwell, who casts a deadly spell on Charles.

Dekker-Daily: What compelled you to take on a new approach to music with 0×0?

When I started releasing music I had personally created in the genre I continue to be intrigued by, it struck me how nearly impossible it would be to continue presenting the ideas and experimentation I desired while working as a solo artist under my own personal name as I am more widely known for my acting efforts. I think audiences are more aggressively negative and closed off to uncategorized surprise or artists dabbling in opposing versatility than ever. So it struck me that people either need a complete stereotypical box to place an artist in, or a complete mystery that perplexes them to a point of fascination as opposed to clear cut knowledge in order to embrace a surprising or “new” twist on an individual they enjoy categorizing. 0 x 0 presented that opportunity. And this opinion of subverting the current conventions of artistic categorization is what the collective is all about. We are not just music or a record. The collective includes designers, actors, cinematographers, graphic designers, photographers, musicians and painters, all working toward the same pop culture comment: free yourself of categorization.

Dekker-Daily: Are you planning on releasing music via itunes, etc? physical disc? If so when?

Our debut record, “Equals Zer0″ is complete and is planned for digital and physical release by the end of this year. We have not yet slated the specific date as we are first focusing on touring, presentations in art galleries and the release of other elements involved with the project: videos, photo art, performance art, fashion.

Dekker-Daily: What music, aside from Bjork of course! Really excites you right now? Trends, artists?

There are a lot of exciting things going on in music right now. A lot more than in recent years I feel. There seems to be a wonderful, albeit very delayed crossover between talented artists and mainstream interest taking place. Artists like Florence and the Machine, Gotye, Lana Del Rey, Skrillex, Bon Iver, Lady Gaga, Justice, Foster the People, etc. These are bands or artists with a singular sound and message who pay attention to technical detail that feels natural and personal, AND they are being embraced by radio, internet publicity, venues and audiences alike. I feel this is something the music industry has really been lacking for a long time now. Obviously I still have my greatest passions for the little artists or bands that twelve people know about, but overall, these artists appear far less packaged or born as some kind of chemistry experiment by a record label for profit gain than many I have seen at the forefront of record sales in a long while. And in a funny, almost opposite direction, 0 x 0 is also a response to this. We’ve noticed that the avant garde is almost becoming mandatory or “comfortable” in the current music scene, and avant garde should always bring a strain of fear, surprise or the unknown with it. Avant garde is not the act of being bizarre for the sake of selling pop records: yes, Nicki Minaj, we are talking to you. It should be intoxicating with a focused point that’s thought provoking. So our directional question is how can we take the newly public affection for musical modernity and turn it upside down on its head all over again. We feel this is how music has and always will continue to progress.

Dekker-Daily: Can you tell us more about Squatters?

Squatters is a beautiful script with a visually visionary director. The moment I read the script, I decided no one else was going to take the role of Jonas away from me. This a very rare and very exciting feeling for me. There have only been a handful of roles I have played that I was insanely determined to acquire: Lance Loud (Cinema Verite), Ethan Denton (Angels Crest), Smith (Kaboom!), and this role was one of them. The character is smart, sensitive, mature, immature, reactionary and caring all at the same time and I am holding my breath to start filming a real challenge of a character again. It also takes place in the world of homeless youth in Los Angeles, which for both my film Whore and my screenplay The Walk of Fame, I had studied and emersed myself in for years. So I feel very comfortable embodying an individual in that landscape.

Dekker-Daily: Any other film plans while on a break from TSC?

Before I start filming Squatters in June, I am currently filming another movie that has a fantastic script and directing team. The film is called Snap, directed by Youssef Delara and Victor Teran. I have to be very delicate when talking about my character as he is full of surprises, but I will definitely say it has been a challenge, as I have never played a character so cruel or manipulative. Let’s just say he’s a nasty piece of work. I am acting opposite Jake Hoffman, Nikki Reed, Scott Bakula, Jason Priestly and many other talents which has been an added honor. The film takes place in the world of underground dub step, which as an electronic musician, was an instant connection for me. Hopefully I will get to create some tracks for the film which is becoming a bit of a recurring theme with the movie work I’ve been doing as of late.

Dekker-Daily: Film recommendations? Cabin in the Woods? Others?

My favorite films I have seen recently would be Cabin in the Woods, We Need to Talk About Kevin (a highly unappreciated performance by Ezra Miller), Melancholia, The Innkeepers, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Whoever Says the Truth Shall Die (great documentary about film maker Pier Paulo Pasolini), The Muppets, Laurence Anyways..
ahhh I can’t think of any more!!

Dekker-Daily: Was the GoT reference your idea? A little shout-out to your “mom” Lena?

I have to give full credit to our head writer Andrew Miller for that one! He’s a big Game of Thrones fan and he consciously put that line in as a reference to me and my TV mom.

Dekker-Daily: Are we getting the new Adam from now on?

Hmm, hard to say. It’s very difficult to answer TSC/Adam questions about future endeavors because I’ve never done a job where I’m kept so in the dark about future developments. Not since Heroes at least. I have no idea where the character is going to go…but I would hope he gets a little darker. Or I should say…I hope he turns evil. Haha.

Dekker-Daily: Excited for the finale?

The finale brings a fantastic cliff hanger with it. A new plot development/direction for the whole circle which is very exciting. I feel our first season has been good, but merely a good setup for a great season two.

Dekker-Daily: Any news on Season Two?

Nothing to report yet, but I have a strong feeling we will be back performing spells in the rain of Vancouver.

Dekker-Daily: What do you make a point of watching religiously? (Modern Family still?)

I don’t know what happened to me last year, maybe it was the isolation of being away from home, but I have suddenly become a bit of a TV junkie. I never used to watch TV and now I am hooked on a lot of shows. In no particular order, my extremely close watched list is as follows:

Parks and Recreation
(hands down, best non animated comedy on TV in my opinion. It has taken my number one comedy spot of Modern Family, even though it took me a long time to get into it. Give it a strong chance if you don’t watch it and start at the beginning. You grow to love the characters so much.)

American Horror Story
(might be my newly favorite TV show of all time)

Modern Family
(still love you baby!)

South Park
(did anyone see the new episode “Butterballs”? proof that it is still the most genius satire around)

Face Off
(favorite reality competition on the air. it’s project runway for special effects make up designers. what’s not to love?)

Saturday Night Live
(they have been at the top of their game for a few seasons now, and they have very rarely disappointed me this season)

Game of Thrones
(“power is power”!)

What Would You Do?
(thought provoking Dateline documentary series is always surprising. Plus the actors they hire for their simulated situations are always hilarious. Gotta love em.)
