The series regulars, alongside Jeanine Mason who stars as Liz Ortecho, are definitely no strangers to the audience of The CW.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with <strong>Nathan Parsons<\/strong>. The actor has been cast opposite Jeanine Mason as Max. He took over the role of James (Luke Grimes) on the final season of HBO\u2019s vampire series True Blood and he is an alum of \u201cThe Originals\u201d and \u201cGeneral Hospital\u201d. In this version, the characters are no longer high school students and Max, a natural born leader who has kept his Alien heritage a secret, works as a police officer in his hometown.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Jeanine Mason and Nathan Parsons is <strong>Heather Hemmens<\/strong>.

In the books, Alex grew up in a large family. His older brothers and his father, The Major, are very much into the military. According to Thathashtagshow.com Alex <em>recently returned from the Middle East and has continued to give up his dreams and follow in his follows expectations; including the future with the man he loves.<\/em> Sadly, there seems to be no happy ending for Alex and Isabel in this version, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Isabel is Isobel in The CW pilot project and actress <strong>Lily Cowles<\/strong> has been cast for this role.
