I have some awesome Vampire Diaries spoilers (warning!) to tide you over until the new season starts September 9th . First, not only will Katherine be staying in town for a while, but we'll eventually see her meet face-to-face with Elena! Between her history with Damon and her goal of breaking up Elena and Stefan, she'll be severely complicating the Elena-Stefan-Damon love triangle. As for questions about what's up with Jeremy, exec producer Julie Plec answered he's "alive". Then there's also the exciting rumor about Tyler being a werewolf. There's still soo much we don't know, but sounds like this season is going to be plenty interesting and juicy!
