Yeah I doubt she is there for Brick. She is also a Belle. She is from BB. So that would be like dating her dad. Shelby was from out of town so she wouldn't have known Brick her whole life. And it would be the same storyline as Brick/Shelby.

That is also why I don't like her as a rival for Lemon. Didn't we just have that last season with Ruby? And we also know that Lemon is going to start trying to date. There is also the fake relationship with Wade. I'm all for characters having their own storylines, but that seems like an awful lot for Lemon when we don't even know if JK will be missing episodes or not.

I also don't know why Tara Lynn who no one remembers from the finale needs a sister. If they wanted to expand BB and TL or the sister aren't important roles then they should have given Crickett or someone else a family member who is just supposed to be there in the background. So at the very least I think whatever part KM is playing (whether it is the new TL or a new named Belle with TL's qualities) that the role is a little bit more prominent. It will be interesting to see what that role is.

I will admit that I want it to be Wade's LI because I would find that twist interesting. And for superficial reasons. I want to see KM and WB in scenes together. And it would mean that we have 1 less new character being introduced. Although I'm fine with the number right now because Lynly and Joel have a purpose. I'm also ok with a love interest for Brick and Lemon desperately needs one. So at some point we can only have so many new characters added. And they should have a purpose. So if KM winds up being NG that works because she is already there and we would know her. There wouldn't be any need to introduce another new character for us to get to know.
