John Blackwell is back. And Cassie's grandmother will finally make an appearance, following weeks off the air, on tonight's new episode of The Secret Circle.

But Executive Producer Andrew Miller spilled on another major return spoiler earlier this week, one that may divide fans of this CW drama. Read on to see who will soon be showing up again in Chance Harbor...

... NICK ARMSTRONG!

"We are thrilled to have Nick back, but he's not the same person as he was before," Miller teased to Zap2iIt. "The Circle is stunned, but those closest to Nick, his brother Jake and girlfriend Melissa, find themselves on opposite sides as they struggle with how to deal with his unnatural return."

The same may be said for viewers. Yes, Nick was a popular character and many may be anxious to see what this return entails. (Will he be resurrected by Eben? For nefarious purposes?)

But his death on "Slither" was also the one truly shocking moment from this season. Now it will be essentially erased? Meaning major deaths don't stick and lowering the stakes a bit on what is meant to be a suspenseful, supernatural-based show?

We'll reserve judgment until we see how the storyline plays out, of course, but sound off now with your initial take on this Secret Circle stunner.
