"Mistresses" is just around the corner and fans can't wait for the show to address its myriad cliff-hangers that left many wondering about the fate of their favorite characters. Although fan-favorite Savi will no longer be present in the series following the exit of Alyssa Milano's titular character after the production moved to Vancouver, viewers have many new and exciting characters to look forward to.

"Scandal" star Brian White is playing a character named Blair who will be the headmaster at Lucy's school, reports TVLine. Lucy is April's daughter and Blair is set to be her mother's new love interest. The publication describes Blair as a man who commands authority and strength. Since April's last boyfriend turned out to be a secret FBI agent investigating her suddenly resurrected hubby, April find Blair's character extremely reassuring.

His stable personality and connections as the school's principal further draws him to her. She feels safe and protected around him and his mere presence and respected profession makes him the perfect partner. April also feels her daughter needs some security and stability, which the handsome hunk can provide. But the tall, dark and handsome White isn't the only new cast member in the series.

Another TVLine report suggests that "Blue Bloods" actress Jennifer Esposito has been added as a series regular and plays the role of Calista Raines. Described as a woman possessing a larger-than-life personality and leading a fashionable and fabulous socialite life, the new mistress is also the creative director of a high-end fashion brand. With a sense of humor and style, Raines will be a friend, mentor and surrogate sister to Joss after the exit of her actual elder sister, Savi.

However, beneath that veneer of fun eccentrics lies a woman with a devious nature, struggling with loneliness. She draws Joss into a deeper and darker world of secrets and betrayal.

The promotional video of "Mistresses" promises a drama-filled two-hour season premiere on Thursday, June 18 at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
