When is Alaric going to do something other than drink and flirt with Meredith on The Vampire Diaries? — Sam

NATALIE: To be fair, Alaric has lost both his wife and girlfriend to the blood-suckers, so we’ll give him a pass on the nascent alcoholism. But we’ll soon learn more about his vampire-hunting days, which may help us to figure out why Elena trusts him so blindly. “A lot more of his past will be revealed,” Matt Davis says. “Things that he’s been struggling with will be purged and come into clarity for him.”

Question: When will see Jeremy again on The Vampire Diaries? This inquiring mind would like to know. —Nic

Ausiello: “We will see Jeremy before the season’s over,” replies exec producer Julie Plec. “That’s about all I can say on that.” And in case anyone is looking for an updated ETA on Katherine, Plec says, “Homegirl is MIA. She’s smarter than to get herself caught up in all of this mess.” Yes, Julie Plec just referred to Elena’s ancient vampire doppelganger as a Homegirl. And yes, I love her for that.

MandyLee: How about something juicy on The Vampire Diaries?!

How about the fact that people are totes gonna die? This is the scoop executive producer Julie Plec drops our way: “There’s definitely going to be some jeopardy by season’s end. Certainly, many of our characters are going to come face-to-face with their maker at some point before the season is over. The question of whether they meet and shake the hand and get dragged away with their maker is a whole other question.” So it sounds like some deaths might not stick? And others will?
