Character Interview: Melissa Larson from Harper Sloan’s “Cage”
We are so glad that you could sit down with us Melissa. What was the first thing that attracted you to Cage?
Have you seen him lately? There was just something about him that screamed sex. I don’t think I stood a chance. Haha. .How did you first feel when you found out about the connection that you and Cage have with Simon?
Initially? I was terrified, heartbroken, pissed as all hell. But, after a lot of soul searching I knew that it was just a sick twist of fate but almost like we were given the chance to become stronger because of it. If that makes sense. I love that man more than life but that bond… that’s something that we both have and understand about each other. We get ‘it’ like no one else will or would.
Are those multiple piercings that Cage has as pleasurable as they sound?
Oh god yes. If I could handle him being out of commission for a little longer than a day, he would be getting more. The things that man can do… no words, no words at all.
If you could say anything to your sister now, what would it be?
Besides I love her. I would thank her. Thank her for setting me in the path to find Greg. The path to living again. I miss her. God, there really is so much I would tell Fia.
Do you feel guilty about going off to get married without Izzy or any of the others?
Honestly, no. I can understand why she was so upset to begin with but Greg and I made a decision on what would be best for us and Cohen. We wanted something that Cohen would remember and it would be just us. No crazy family and friends making things chaotic. Just my man and our boy. Cohen has been through so much in his life that it’s important we start new memories that he has, full of simple love.
Did you ever feel jealous of Cage & Izzy’s close friendship and if so why?
Never. Greg is the kind of man that can’t help his fierce protectiveness. If anything it makes me love him more. I know there aren’t any feelings other than brotherly love for her. Really, what isn’t to love about a man that has a heart as big as his?
If you could say anything to your mother now, what would it be?
That I hope I’m half the mother she was. Miss her daily but knowing she is looking over me and my family keeps me going.
What do you hope ends up happening to crazy Mandy?
I hope that bitch is rotting in the lowest pits of hell. She deserves nothing better.
How did Izzy calm you down that night you found out about the connection with Simon that you & Cage have?
Ah, going to the heart here. Izzy did what I needed. She was there. She let me scream and cry it out. She was silent and held me when I needed a friend. And she was the one who told me to step back, breathe and figure out if I could live without Greg in my life. She was the ‘reason’ I couldn’t see.
Besides Cage, who’s your favorite of the security boys and why?
Hmm. Probably Maddox. Y’all don’t know this but that man, under all that silence and brooding, has one hell of a personality. Once he lets you in… you don’t want to leave. Pure f*cking gold!
What can we expect to see from Melissa and Cage in the future, what’s next for Melissa?
Big things coming for the Cage family. Unfortunately Harper won’t let me spill the beans just yet.
Darn it! We understand and wish you and Cage nothing but the best. It was a pleasure to have you and thanks for stopping by
Thanks for having me.
