I think maybe a Lady of the Pond. She comes up, kind of levitating so it’s a little nod back to Supergirl. I could see her coming up and singing with her beautiful voice. I would love if she would be on the show. I miss her dearly.
Mellissa would be a good fit
While Leigh does seem to be joking about the levitation in her interview with TV Line, adding the new character isn’t a stretch of the imagination. The time travel aspect of the popular series makes the introduction of Melissa as a “Lady of the Pond” is an interesting storyline for The Way Home.
In seasons 1 and 2 of the time-travel drama only those in the Landry bloodline seem to have the time-traveling skill. Moreover, theoretically, there should be more people out there with the skill, including more Landry family members.

Meanwhile, it is currently unknown when season 3 of The Way Home will drop in 2024, which could leave Benoist open for a new and exciting time travel role.
