The Secret Circle Premiered on The CW on September 15, 2011



Cassie Blake was a happy, normal teenage girl - until her mother Amelia dies in what appears to be a tragic accidental fire. Orphaned and deeply saddened, Cassie moves in with her warm and loving grandmother Jane in the beautiful small town of Chance Harbor, Washington - the town her mother left so many years before - where the residents seem to know more about Cassie than she does about herself. As Cassie gets to know her high school classmates, including sweet-natured Diana and her handsome boyfriend Adam, brooding loner Nick, mean-girl Faye and her sidekick Melissa, strange and frightening things begin to happen. When her new friends explain that they are all descended from powerful witches, and they've been waiting for Cassie to join them and complete a new generation of the Secret Circle, Cassie refuses to believe them - until Adam shows her how to unlock her incredible magical powers. But it's not until Cassie discovers a message from her mother in an old leather-bound book of spells hidden in her mother's childhood bedroom, that she understands her true and dangerous destiny. What Cassie and the others don't yet know is that darker powers are at play, powers that might be linked to the adults in the town, including Diana's father and Faye's mother - and that Cassie's mother's death might not have been an accident.

The series stars Britt Robertson as Cassie Blake, Thomas Dekker as Adam Conant, Gale Harold as Charles Meade, Phoebe Tonkin as Faye Chamberlain, Jessica Parker Kennedy as Melissa, Shelly Hennig as Diana Meade, Louis Hunter as Nick, Ashley Crow as Jane Blake and Natasha Henstridge as Dawn Chamberlain. Based upon the book series by L.J. Smith (author of "The Vampire Diaries" book series), THE SECRET CIRCLE is from Outerbanks Entertainment and Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios with executive producers Kevin Williamson ("The Vampire Diaries," "Scream," "Dawson's Creek"), Andrew Miller ("Imaginary Bitches"), Leslie Morgenstein ("The Vampire Diaries," "Gossip Girl") and Gina Girolamo. Elizabeth Craft ("The Vampire Diaries," "Lie to Me") & Sarah Fain ("The Vampire Diaries," "Lie to Me") were executive producers on the pilot which was directed by Liz Friedlander ("The Vampire Diaries," "90210").

Interesting opening episode but the way Cassie stopped Fay's bad ass storm was good and that was a hell of a warning from Charles who also killed Cassie's mother

Well i have few questions regarding first episode such if her mother was witch why didn't she have the power to stop the fire?. You would think having that secret she would at least be able protect her daughter but now she left unprotected. We are not sure if grandmother is strong enough to stop the circle.

It was good opening episode but it lack substance in the sense there wasn't much going on. If your going introduce the character you might spend time for us to get to know them?. Not just here they are the circle and we are suppose ok ?.

I always thought Faye's anger would hurt someone but almost killing the girl was careless and it's a good job her mother had the crystal

Well i have say that was a nice way of explain how adults were able to cast magic when they don't have any powers it certainly made for good explanation but it does look like adults are trying make the children replay the past you would think they would at least try to be careful and we also found out how the previous circle was broken.. I liked the fact more information was provided in this episode.

Yeh, we are quite lucky in what we get. Jim has listed a lot of ones that are aired on UK Channels, which we get in Ireland but we tend to get US shows even before the UK channels so we have the best of both and they'll air a day to a couple of days after the US. In saying that there are always ones they don't show and that's why I'm so grateful I found VIPtv years ago!

Delighted the show has been added here now as I wanted to watch the other episodes immediately. This was another strong episode. Cassie has now become more part of the group as she realises they are safer together after what happened.

It was interesting to see that Diana sees what is going on between Cassie and Adam. I feel like it's more a case of keep your friends close but your enemies closer with Diana wanting to be friends with Cassie. She feels like Adam is slipping away and by making Cassie a close friend, she knows that will make it harder for Cassie to betray her. Smart really. But we all know it's only going to be a matter of time. After all, they are destined to be together !!

Good to see that Faye has a "nice" side sticking up for Melissa like that. Although I think Nick (played by Louis Hunter) is totally mis-cast. He's the only weak link I can see in this show so far.

Yes the 3rd episode was good but i like the consequence of them binding the powers that they need someone else to practice. it give the show some direction since now they need to be a team but it's going to be fun to watch them try to be a team there will always be problem but it gives first season some structure.

Well it was common sense that reverse her mother spell was going to a bad thing but they were lucky that demon wasn't able fully control the body otherwise they would be in trouble but like the cliffhanger that it preferred a another female body instead of the guys.

I'm not sure I like it that's it's one of the main characters though.  They are just starting to figure things out and then to have one of the circle possessed just isn't okay.

Glad though that nick and the girl have an understanding.    Where are the parents in all this??

The grandma had to use a crystal too. Does that mean her powers are gone as well?  Or that her circle isn't around to give her the necessary juice?   I bet Cassie will tell her because she really needs the support and I doubt Gma will let it go.  Now that she knows, she'll be more attentive.

I think it kind of obvious how they fit in, If you have vampires you have vampire hunters so if you have witches they must witch hunters but it does look like that secret isn't going last long based on promo posted above.
Author: shinny    Time: 10-21-2011 15:22

I think Jake is torn because he's a witch himself and he didn't count on being drawn to Cassie, but obviously the whole Family revenge thing is why he's doing this. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Well done for the producers/casting team realising they needed a stronger actor and getting rid of Nick. Jake is definitely the better choice!!

Typical Faye to be more interested in her grandfather's booze but the wellies and the bath would make you think she has had too much to drink and then suggesting a little game of Truth or Dare to liven up the evening was bound to have consequences, Faye was right about the little girl was there for a reason but sad it was he grandfather's body

I hope Cassie's grandmother comes back from her "retreat" normal. I kinda liked her before they messed with her memory and now I don't really see the point of her.

I thought that Diane's grandmother said she had to bring her to the point of death to see how powerful she was. I don't think she actually wanted to kill her, although, she would of course have let her die had her power not been strong enough. She was testing her to see if Cassie's magic could be used in the balance of good v's evil.

I gave up on it a long time ago, the only reason I would catch up is to see what happens to Cassie and what happened so many years ago. But the drama with the kids was boring really fast and kind of predictable. Faye gets them into trouble and Diana (but mostly Cassie) needs to get them out.
that's why I keep reading your posts now i don't have to watch and still kind of know what's going on.

Author: shinny    Time: 1-21-2012 04:40

I actually quite liked this episode, for a change.

We found out that Cassie's father is most likely still alive so I'm sure he'll be making an appearance soon.

We also know that Ethan (Adam's Dad) was on the boat that night when they all died. So he's lied about that.

We found out that the witch hunters started the fire and not anyone else (when they tried to burn Cassie's Dad alive) and we found out how he saved himself with the piece of jewellery that he dropped down the drain and Cassie now has. I think he dropped it down there on purpose because he knew Cassie would need it in the future.

So, for me, quite a lot went on in this episode.
