Teen Wolf: Jeff Davis on Season 4's New "Powerful Trio of Girls," Scott and Stiles' Love Lives

Here's the relevant bits:

Though Hennig is signed onto to be a series regular in season four, Davis and the writers weren't sure if she would even be returning at all.

.....

"Kira, Arden, is just amazing. She's back full-time on the show, as well," he says.

I may be taking things out of context, but to me, this indicates that the show will have six main characters once again.

I really hope that Arden is truly on full time. I think Kira's relationship with Scott is much better than Allison's was. The romance between Scott and Allison was a blazing fire of lust and desire typical of teenage relationships. With Kira, however, it's a purer relationship. It's sweet and tender. Why would you think that if they weren't even sure of her returning at all, that she would end up being part of the 'main' cast, as opposed to just a recurring character? This doesn't imply much about Malia being crucial at all, if that's the relevant part.

Except for the whole "supposedly Peter's daughter" thing...

I'd say that makes her character kind of important.
