Supergirl: Melissa Benoist Talks About Adam’s Arrival

Kara Danvers may get a new super-suitor in tonight’s episode of Supergirl, as Cat Grant’s other son, Adam Foster (Blake Jenner), makes an appearance in National City.

Several weeks ago, we spoke with Melissa Benoist on the Supergirl set in Burbank, California for some intel on how that might go down… and what it might mean for the other men in her life.

“Her love life is so complicated,” Melissa laughs. “All of her relationships are so complicated, and by the time that [Adam] shows up, a lot has happened with the other men in her life. I’d like to think that sometimes the better Supergirl gets at her job, Kara’s personal life kind of suffers. You can’t juggle everything and be good at everything all at once. So when she meets Adam, that’s definitely a wrench in the machine of her life, in terms of CatCo.”

Is there something about him that she’s attracted to?

Melissa, who is married to Blake Jenner in real life, surely knows the answer. “He is really attractive,” she laughs. “Also, you know, I think there’s a mystery about him, and there’s a connection because of their pasts, and what they’ve both been through, in terms of family and loss.”
