Melissa Wilson is a law student who was told by Veronica Harrington to go on a date with her only son Jeffrey Harrington. She was trying to make money for her parents, her father is in the hospital with Cancer and needed money into pay the very expensive medical bills. She was told to make sure that Jeffrey would have sex with her so she could make him "straight" and have a child by him. If she doesn't have a child by Jeffrey Harrington she would lose everything due to Veronica extorting her family. She later ends up pregnant but Jeffrey refuses to play along with this. However, Melissa refuses to abort her unborn child threatening to go after Jeffrey for child support if Veronica doesn't pay and something happens to her father. In Season 4, she attempts suicide when her father dies causing Jeffrey to worry. She later uses a coat hanger to take the baby's life, but is unsuccessful. In the season finale, she causes herself and Veronica to get into a car wreck.
Benny Young[]
Benny met Melissa when going to Veronica's house to get Veronica clothes for her hospital stay. When arriving he met Melissa and she seduced him. They had sex in Veronica's bed but were disturbed by Veronica being released from the hospital. Melissa then at a later date texted Benny from Veronica's phone and told him to come to the house. Once Benny got there, he realized that Melissa texted him and not Veronica. They begin to have sex on the couch when Veronica walked in on them. Veronica kicked Melissa and Benny out of the house. So Benny took Melissa to his house where his mom told her she can stay until she finds a place to live.
