Supergirl is making it’s return next week and we are so excited!
What we’re even more excited about is the fate of Karamel – the pairing of Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Mon-El (Chris Wood).
EP Jessica Queller spoke to TVLine about what we can expect between the former couple, since Mon-El confessed to his wife, Irma, that he still had feelings for his former love.
“It’s one of those heartbreaking, sort of star-crossed love stories where…I don’t know what to give away, but we are really excited to have the opportunity to dig deeper in their connection and excavate what’s under the surface,” she shared. “We want to make sure that those characters are honest with how they feel without having to keep any barriers.”
She does promise that there is a lot more coming for the couple turned co-workers.
“Mon-El is going to be a big part of the show through the finale, and it’s a heart-wrenching situation,” Jessica adds. “There’s a lot of romance and a lot of drama, and I would definitely tune in to see how that will play out.”
During her appearance, Melissa opened up about learning how to play Supergirl, dancing and acting since she was a kid, performing a Stephen Sondheim medley at Disneyland and playing one of David Koresh’s wives in the new mini-series, Waco.
Watch her appearance below!

On the show, Mon-El was forced to leave Earth after the release of the lead dispersal device, where he accidentally went through a wormhole that landed him in the 30th Century.
Supergirl broke our hearts when we all found out that he’s now married to Saturn Girl (Amy Jackson).
In the mid-season premiere next week, Supergirl is struggling to heal from her injuries inflicted by Reign and remains in a dreamlike state, unable to be reached.
But, Mon-El has an idea and recruits one of the Legion members, Brainiac-5, to try to bring her back.
Meanwhile, Reign continues her rampage on the city so the DEO teams up with the Legion of Superheroes to try to stop her.
Supergirl premieres on Monday, January 15th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
The two Supergirl stars and real life couple are getting behind a new initiative with IDONTMIND, a mental health awareness program whose aim is to break down the barrier of stigma and to bring help to those that need it.
After Melissa posted about the new sweatshirt that the program is selling to raise monies for the organization, Chris also supported it on his own Instagram account.
“This brilliant woman is a light,” he wrote of Melissa. “Her heart has remained open and full despite the many difficulties she has faced, and her generous spirit fills the world with more love. I continue to be in awe of her.”
So sweet!

Kara and Mon-El have been apart longer than we would like on Supergirl, however, our reunion is coming soon.
In a recent interview with Den of Geek, Melissa Benoist revealed that episode 7 is when it’s all going down — but there is a catch.
“It won’t be the reunion you expect. It’s pretty mysterious,” Melissa shared.
Chris Wood, who plays Mon-El, adds that the Mon-El we know is not the Mon-El we’ll see when he returns.
“He’s going to be a very different Mon-El than what we saw last year, largely due to the whole mystery surrounding where he went and what he’s been doing,” Chris told TV Insider last month. “It definitely affects him. He’s been somewhere, doing something.”
“They’ve sworn me to secrecy on specifics,” he adds. “But there’s going to be a big change in him when he comes back [and] that worries the team.”
Who else out there is shipping Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood as a couple? Well, we have a treat for you!
The Supergirl co-stars and real-life couple were seen walking their dogs over the weekend in Vancouver, Canada and we have the photos here.
Melissa and Chris kept a low profile under their hats and shades. They were seen sipping coffee while spending time with their pet pooches on National Dog Day.
Supergirl is currently in the middle of production for season three, which is scheduled to premiere on Monday, October 9 on The CW. We can’t wait to find out what happens next on the show!
