When Hellcats returns, viewers can look forward to some flirty, dirty action.

What will this mean, exactly, for Aly Michalka's Marti? The actress is featured in the latest issue of Zooey Magazine and is asked to preview what's ahead for her confused character.

"She has no idea who her father is," Michalka says."She thinks that he’s not alive anymore. So she goes searching for answers... She’s trying to find something to hang onto, something to give her hope that maybe he’s alive or maybe there’s something out there that she can relate to."

Michalka's real-life family will play a key role in helping her track down her fictional one, too. Sister AJ plays Dierdre on Hellcats and will serve as a "catalyst" in Marti's search, the actress says: "Dierdre ends up giving her some information that’s really helpful."

Look for Marti to successfully locate her dad, who will likely end up as a recurring character next season.
