When we last saw The Vampire Diaries gang,
Mystic Falls had become a no magic zone... The
Other Side disintegrated into thin air... and we
lost and gained a few characters.
Since then, The Vampire Diaries spoilers , picture
previews and interviews have only increased our
thirst for The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode
1, so this seemed like a good time to check in
with our Round Table team.
How are they feeling about Season 6? What are
their hopes, thoughts and predictions? Hear from
Miranda Lou, Leigh Raines, Crissy Calhoun
(co-author of Love You to Death ) and Matt
Richenthal below and then chime in with your
thoughts...
What are you looking forward to the most
for The Vampire Diaries Season 6?
Miranda: The return of Alaric!! With a side of the
deliciousness that is Damon.
Leigh: Damon needs to get himself back to
Mystic Falls, like yesterday. I'm not just saying
this because I had a red-wine induced ugly cry
after the finale and looked like a 12-year-old girl
getting shut out of a Justin Bieber concert. Also
"Ric and the Dick" can't work with only half.
AND RIC IS BACK.
Crissy: I am just glad the show is back. I've
missed these TVDers.
Matt: Stakes. Not in the literal sense, I'm fairly
confident we'll be seeing the wooden variety. But
too much of The Vampire Diaries Season 5 felt...
unimportant. We need lives to hang in the
balance this fall and we need to see lives
actually be lost for a change.
Where are Bonnie and Damon?
Miranda: Duh, getting ready for their spin-off of
course.
Leigh: Hanging out with Rosalie from Twilight ,
duh. Vampire crossover? In terms of the show, I
think there is always another "Other Side." They
are being kept safe somewhere with Grams.
Crissy: The Other Side's other side. Some kind of
witchy juju holding pen.
Matt: I don't know. But I just hope something
actually comes of this storyline, that the
characters are changed in some way. It would be
very lame for them to just go away to some
Other Side-y place and then simply... return. It
would come across like shock value for the sake
of shock value to end Season 5.

This just in: Ian Somerhalder is VERY
attractive. Check out this photo in
anticipation of The Vampire Diaries Season
6.
Who is going to be spiraling the worst: Elena,
Stefan or Jeremy?
Miranda: Elena, naturally, because what would
this show be if she didn't need saving?
Leigh: Uhh, from this looks of these Jeremy
Gilbert photos , he is just fine. Literally and
figuratively. See above for Miranda's answer. I
agree.
Crissy: My money's on Stefan. Elena may emote
more, but I think Stefan will be more truly effed
up.
Matt: I agree, Crissy. We all know how
personally Stefan takes things and how
traumatic events (like being locked in an
underwater safe for many months) tend to have
a lasting effect on him. Can anyone say Ripper?
Look out.
How will the group break the curse and get back
to Mystic Falls?
Miranda: Will they go back to Mystic Falls? That
the better question.
Leigh: Well, a couple of them still live there is
I'm not mistaken. I'm going to leave this one up
to Matty Blue Eyes. This is his year, I can feel it!
Crissy: Oooh, I like where Miranda is going:
maybe Mystic Falls will never be home again.
That's depressing/awesome.
Matt: Make it three out of four! Fresh start for
the show, fresh location for the show. Sounds
about right to me. They should all head to New
Orleans. I could see them having some fun there
with some old friends .
Which recurring cast member are you most
excited to see: Alaric or Enzo?
Miranda: See #1. I'm so glad to have Matt Davis
back.
Leigh: Oh, I fully cried (no wine!) when Alaric
died. He was one of my favorite characters of all
time.
Crissy: Alaric, but man, am I glad we get both. I
can't wait to see them raise a glass together.
Matt: ALARIC FOR ALL THE WINS!
What storyline are you happy to leave behind?
Miranda: The Travelers. We better be done with
the Travelers.
Leigh: I think I actually mentally blocked out the
Travelers because they were so awful. I am done
with the Doppelgangers!
Crissy: The Stefan-Damon-Elena love triangle.
Which I refuse to believe will every be a reliable
storyline ever again - it's too much of a retread.
Onwards!
Matt: It's sort of sad that I agree with all three
above answers, isn't it? But I've gotta echo the
love triangle sentiment most of all. Talk about
running a storyline into the ground.
