Commenting on an announcement of the new cast members posted by a fan account, one person wrote: "I don't know who Melissa is. Maybe Jack's mom? I'm not sure about Nate Brenner either. The veterinarian in the books is Nathaniel (Nate) Jensen."

Another put forward another theory. "Do you think Melissa is Mel's ex mother-in-law seeing Stacie is going to be in season 4?" they wrote, while a third added: "No clue who Melissa or Nate are but the dynamics between Jack and his dad will be interesting. Thanks for the info!"
