I just checked IMDb and noticed Robert is credited as being in 2 “Jonas” episodes called “Car Park” and “A Wasabi Story”. The second season of “Jonas” begins next month and I’ll post more information when it becomes available.

Update: I also contacted Robert about his involvement and he said this:

Si. Two eps. Hope you enjoy. The show has definitely undergone a major makeover.

“Lincoln Heights” Executive producer Kathleen McGhee-Anderson discussed Chassie in a new interview for The Futon Critic.

JH: The Charles (Robert Adamson) and Cassie (Erica Hubbard) relationship is not only an interracial story but there is now some legal aspects coming in due to what happened with them last year. How will their stories evolve this year?

KMA: At the centerpiece of the show is the two… I call them Romeo and Juliet characters with a little more contemporary slant because it is an interracial couple and everything picks up from that devastation of the earthquake. Our show was birthed as a part family/part procedural drama with the Dad being on the police force. Gradually, it has evolved into a family series primarily and procedural is no longer a way of looking at the world but we find it very interesting to tell edgy stories and the edgy stories do tend to come from the procedural world that Eddie works in. So the intersection of Cassie and Charles with some legal issues gives us a broader landscape for those kids to live in outside of high school. A lot of kids can relate to that because it’s more than just going to the prom and working on the yearbook and dealing with teen angst and how it intersects with the bigger picture and the tougher issues, which a lot of kids have to do. We’re trying to give Cassie and Charles some tough dilemmas to test them and see if their relationship changes. They are very challenged this season and not just by love.

JH: What kind of feedback have you gotten back from viewers on the interracial elements of the show?

KMA: If there has been negative, it hasn’t come to our ears; we haven’t heard it. What we have heard from the ABC Family website where the kids come after the episodes air… they start talking in the chat room and what we hear is that kids want to see this story and they say, ‘This is our story. This is me.’ We love the fact that we’re dealing with a black and white couple and we don’t see it anyplace else realistically. That seems to be the most interesting angle they have and, of course, one of the resonances for them was [also] the relationship with a stepparent. That’s another hot topic that seems to really light up the chat rooms, which has to do with how Charles relates to the stepfather and the problems that he has, how the stepfather’s resentment of Cassie interracially has impacted them as well because Charles’ stepfather is a white man and has some problems with Charles dating a black girl so the kids find that interesting. I think they’re trying to figure their way out of that because many of them are in interracial relationships or many of them have observed them in their families or friends. They look at the series as a way to get information and guidance and, of course, figure out what’s going to happen next.

Erica Hubbard discussed Chassie in a new interview for the Boston Herald.

The Chicago native said viewers should expect more drama this season as Cassie and her boyfriend Charles (Robert Adamson) face the end of high school.

“They love each other so much,” she said. “They know their love is taking a turn because they are graduating from high school, and sometimes its like, ‘What I want to do is not what you want me to do, so what do we do?’ So right now, it’s turmoil for them trying to keep their love but yet make the decisions that won’t break them apart.”

Viewers are invested in the show’s central teen romance.

“They love Chassie,” she said, referring to the nickname fans have given the couple.
“I had no idea they would love them as much as they do. Either they want a relationship like that or they’re in a relationship like that. It brings joy to my heart to see people respond to Chassie because we’re in a recession and you can turn on the news and see so many sad stories, but when you turn on ‘Lincoln Heights’ and watch Chassie, you’re like, ‘Oh, they’re really in love.’ ”
