I'm actually be a litte bit interested in where The Secret Circle goes next but only to see if they'll really be so dreadfully dull as to actually make Faye the second Blackwell kid in the circle, what with the oh-so-subtle-sledgehammer-clues of Dawn having a crush on Blackwell and probably pushing poor, old Granddad out of her life because she totally cheated on his son.

If a show is THAT obvious and then makes a big cliffhanger reveal of "oh, Cassie has a step-sibling", I'd expect them to mix it up somewhat and have the sibling be any of the other kids. This show, might just be straightlaced enough to go through with it being Faye. In which case, why not have witchhunter Martouf say at the end that it was Faye? Why keep it a seeeeecreeeeeet? Oh please, like that clue bus didn't flatten every viewer on sight.

In case, they really wanna go nuts, it should be Adam. Would explain their connection, neatly free him up for Diana again and her for Jake. Not that I'm invested in either of these pairings but show seems to want to push them, if mostly in a schizophrenic way.

I actually don't think the Jake-actor is that bad. The character is obviously very restrained and secret, so there's nothing much to emote for him. But he's doing what he can with the script.

The Cassie-actress on the other hand. There was this one scene where Jake "broke up" with he and she was supposed to be hurt and confused. So the actress did what every half-assed actress would do: Look left, then right, then left again, sigh and leave stage. If it wouldn't be so sad...

I have no idea how the same people who cast Nina Dobrev also cast this girl.

I think he is trying to convey something going on beneath the surface, though. Which I'm usually getting from the context of the scene and less from him. Normally, it's the other way around.

Maybe it's like "ein blindes Huhn..."
