Gale in the Secret Circle Chapter 10, a queer as folk fanfic

Author's Note: Here's the latest update, including a few articles from the last couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for my mention of the Secret Circle marathon, but it's not going to be aired like a typical marathon.

The Secret Circle Stars Step Up for Causes They Care About
by Whitney Ricketts

Secret Circle stars Gale Harold, Jessica Parker Kennedy, and Thomas Dekker took some time out of their respective busy schedules to talk about the causes they care most about.

Thomas Dekker doesn't just play a sensitive boy on The Secret Circle; in real life, he's a true bleeding heart. Thomas' father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in 2001. Thomas explains the searing process of watching his father fight this illness: "I stood by his side and watched as his life was slowly and cruelly stripped from him. A spirit so vivacious and a mind so sharp was taken by the ruthless hand of this impossible sickness." Watch the rest of his heart-wrenching interview here.

Gale Harold supports the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which was established in the U.S. in 1992 by Sir Elton John. Gale's also a big fan of826 National, an organization founded by author Dave Eggers to provide writing and reading resources for under-privileged youth.

Jessica Parker Kennedy isn't affected by kidney disease — but her mom is. JPK tells The CW why kidneys are so crucial to physical health: "Your kidneys control some pretty important elements in your body, like they make sure you have healthy blood pressure, they help you make red blood cells, they make sure your bones are healthy." JPK encourages everyone to go to the American Kidney Fund website to donate and learn more about the disease.

Last but not least: furry friends! Jessica chose a second cause to speak up about: The Humane Society. "They're great, because they're representing animals who can't speak up for themselves, so it's up to us to reach out to them and make a difference in their lives."

Just thought this was funny, found this under Gale's bio on Wetpaint: "Bet you didn't know... Gale has a tattoo along the inside of his right middle finger that reads "RESIST.""

[ Like any of us didn't know, right? It's amazing he's just being discovered now by so many fans, but I'm glad for it, too… if it keeps him busy, then maybe it will boost his career, prolong the show, and keep him acting in primetime for years to come. ]

Secret Circle Teaser: Is Faye NOT Cassie's Secret Sibling? Exclusive!
by Carita Rizzo

When The Secret Circle introduced the strong possibility of a second Blackwell child at the end of Season 1, Episode 9, "Balcoin," all suspicions were directed towards Faye Chamberlain (Phoebe Tonkin).

It would make perfect sense, right? After all, Faye's mother, Dawn Chamberlain (Natasha Henstridge) had an obsession with Cassie's father, John Blackwell. How great would it be if the two people in the Circle who can stand each other the least were really half-sisters?

But after talking to Gale Harold (Charles Meade) and Chris Zylka (Jake Armstrong) we're no longer so sure we've got it figured out.

"I don't know about that," said Gale at the Golden Globes "Night of Firsts" bash in Los Angeles last weekend. "I think that's one of those things where it will be clear-cut when it's revealed. I have a lot of fun trying to figure it out."

Chris tells Wetpaint Entertainment that the cast doesn't know yet, but it seems they've been thrown off course when it comes to the clues that offered Faye on a plate in the mid-season finale.

"That would be everyone's guess," he told us at the Ripple Effect event in Los Angeles last weekend, trailing off as if it's a red herring and not a certainty. But rest assured, the mystery of the lost sibling will feature prominently when the show returns in January.

"It's a constant that they will remind you and torture you with," says Chris. "We [as a cast] don't even know yet, but I think everyone wants to be the sibling because of what a bad ass Cassie is."

And much to our relief — since they're supposed to be written in the stars and all — one character can be eliminated from our list of suspects. "Thomas [Dekker] (Adam Conant) is the one that's in the clear," reveals Chris. "That would have made it kind of awkward."
