The Vampire Diaries

Check out our sneak peek of Thursday’s ‘Vampire Diaries,’ featuring a major ‘Forwood’ moment.
Warning: The following clip from the Jan. 30 episode of The Vampire Diaries is guaranteed to trigger a few emotions. Not only are we being blessed with Matt (Zach Roerig) and Tyler’s (Michael Trevino) rekindled bromance, but Mr. Lockwood also hints at his intentions to get back together with Caroline (Candice Accola)! It’s like all is right with the world again.

Celebrities really are just like us. ‘The Vampire Diaries’ hunk Ian Somerhalder posted a hilarious Instagram pic with his cat Moke that proves once and for all that all cats really are the overlords of their owners — even if the owner just so happens to be a Hollywood megastar.
Poor Ian Somerhalder. Every cat owner has dealt with the humiliation of being used as a human chair to please a kitty’s ever-changing whims, and The Vampire Diaries star’s cat Moke took things to the next level by seizing total control of his owner’s butt.

Familiar faces, new twists and one hell of a hookup made for an unforgettable 100th episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries.’
Can you believe it’s been 100 episodes already? It feels like only yesterday that Damon (Ian Somerhalder) sauntered into Mystic Falls, accompanied by some rolling fog and that ridiculous crow — neither of which I was sad to see disappear forever. Anyway, the Jan. 23 episode of The Vampire Diaries was more than just a milestone for The CW’s popular fang-fest; it was a 60-minute reminder of why we’ve loved, and will always love, this epic gem of a show.

Would you support Caroline & Stefan finally getting together? New details about an upcoming episode hint that ‘Steroline’ is a possibility.
In my opinion, the writing has been on the wall for a while: Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline (Candice Accola) are bound to get together eventually; not only because he’s one of the only guys left on her Mystic Falls checklist, but because they’ve had crazy chemistry for years. When The Vampire Diaries returns Jan. 23, it sounds like ‘Steroline’ could begin to find its footing.

Who knew Nina Dobrev had such great moves? The ‘Vampire Diaries’ star once again joined her ex-boyfriend Derek Hough’s family for the holidays, and this year she participated in the family’s insane Instagram dance-off. Check out the videos below!
Nina Dobrev, 24, clearly knows how to have a good time. The Vampire Diaries star once again joined BFF Julianne Hough and her rowdy family for some holiday fun, and this time she even participated in a Christmas dance-off with her ex-boyfriend Derek Hough.

Executive producer Caroline Dries promises that ‘Delena’ will be pushed ‘in the right direction’ on the series’ major milestone episode.
Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) may have called it quits on the Dec. 12 midseason finale of The Vampire Diaries, but as you probably suspected, their ‘breakup’ is really just a break. The next episode, airing Jan. 23, will pick up immediately following the sinking of their ship — and executive producer Caroline Dries says fans should anticipate a “fun” reaction from both sides.

Plus, is another fan-favorite character about to die? Like, actually die? Get our thoughts on the midseason finale, then share yours.
Just when you thought Elena’s (Nina Dobrev) dead parent problems couldn’t become any more complicated, the Dec. 12 episode of The Vampire Diaries revealed that her dad was the scientist who designed the very experiments currently being conducted on her. Of course, the torture she experienced on the operating table wasn’t nearly as bad as the emotional torture she would face at the end of the midseason finale.

Plus, a long-anchored (pun intended) ship sets sail once again — and I’m already rooting for them.
No boyfriend was safe on the Nov. 21 episode of The Vampire Diaries, especially when pointy objects were involved. Not only did Katherine (Nina Dobrev) successfully purge Gregor from Matt’s body — God, I’m going to miss Zach Roerig’s Czech accent — but her doppelganger also had a nasty encounter with Caroline’s (Candice Accola) new squeeze. Needless to say, there’s going to be a ton of Facebook status-changing tonight.

Three Ninas. Three deaths. One incredible episode.
I hope Nina Dobrev took a nice long nap after shooting the Nov. 14 episode of The Vampire Diaries, because that girl worked her butt off. In fact, she worked all three of her butts off, as the doppelgangers were the key components in Tessa’s (Janina Gavankar) spell to make Bonnie (Kat Graham) the new anchor to the other side. And while the ladies’ efforts paid off by the end of the hour, achieving their goal came at a price. A deadly price. Three people died!

Mr. Mikaelson is racking up some serious frequent flier miles! But what’s bringing him back to ‘The Vampire Diaries’?
Just when we started to get used to seeing Tyler (Michael Trevino) in the Big Easy, another Vampire Diaries/Originals crossover is reportedly on the way! Joseph Morgan’s villain-ish Klaus will return to Mystic Falls before the show’s fifth season ends, TVGuide.com reports, though further details about his visit are being kept under wraps for now.

Looks like the former couple can still be friends! There was no awkwardness — just cuteness — between Ian and Nina on Nov. 9 when they got together to celebrate the one hundredth episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries.’
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder were together again on Nov. 9, celebrating the amazing success of their show, The Vampire Diaries, along with the rest of the cast in Atlanta, Ga. Seeing them looking so natural and happy together on the red carpet makes us miss the days when they were still a couple, but we’re also glad to see they can still be friends.

Plus, is Katherine dying?! This was easily the craziest episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ to date, but I’m confident we can make sense of it. Together.
If you found yourself scratching your head during much of The Vampire Diaries’ Nov. 7 episode, don’t feel too bad. It just means that, unlike most of the show’s characters, you’re human! It was a super-confusing hour, full of doppelgangers and “anchors” and Snooki references — and by the end, a familiar face returned to Mystic Falls to throw a nasty wrench in the gang’s plan to resurrect Bonnie (Kat Graham).

When news broke that ‘Vampire Diaries’ hunk Michael Trevino was leaving Mystic Falls for the slightly-less-green pastures of New Orleans, we were honestly relieved. Tyler’s time as Caroline’s beau was clearly coming to an end, and we all knew Tyler wouldn’t rest until Klaus was brought to justice for killing Tyler’s mother.
Luckily, the good news doesn’t stop there! HollywoodLife.com attended a screening of The Originals in Los Angeles on Nov. 4, and executive producer Julie Plec confirmed that Michael Trevino’s big move — which will likely happen before the end of November — will answer many of the burning questions currently posed on The Originals. (And, of course, add a million more!)
