Elena and Bonnie slip away from their dates for quick chat at the 60s Decade Dance.
Oh TVD, sometimes you can be so fickle. You’ll kill off a favorite, then bring ‘em back. You’ll get us all excited about a curse, and then drop a bomb like ‘Oh, that thing? That’s not real!’

But as somebody very smart once said, it’s often your quirks that people like best. And while sometimes we get annoyed that you kill off our beloved characters, and tease us about all kinds of fake storylines, we still love you.

That isn’t to say you don’t confuse us, though. Take, for example, that producer Julie Plec is calling the newly-renewed Season 3 “the season of the Originals.” Ominous, right? Sounds like Elijah and/or Klaus will still be around (darn it!). But what we really wanna know is what that means for the other characters near and dear to our hearts. Could Bonnie or Matt or Caroline find themselves six feet under?

Plec won’t spill numbers (or names), but she does say this: People. will. die. And lots of ‘em.  “We set this ritual in motion early on, and it needs several sacrificial elements, so if it happens — and whereit happens, and when it happens, and if it goes off without a hitch — there will be a lot of loss of life,” she says.

Thankfully, we know of at least one character who just might make it through the mire. The oft-absent Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino) was avail to chat about his character, who, when he returns, will supposedly be a little more subdued. “I don’t know where they’re going to go with Tyler in Season 3, but there have to be [more] changes,” he dishes. “Hopefully we can get into explaining what he was doing when he was gone, and who was he involved with.” Sounds like he’ll be around, but you never know with these guys.

Our only piece of advice? Brace yourselves — but don’t get too upset if your fave bites it. “We dohave ways of letting our audience see their fan favorites again…over time,” Plec teases.

Here we go again!
