SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!
We’ve had a couple days to digest the latest episode of The Vampire Diaries – and we’re still reeling.
Is Tyler (Michael Trevino) really dead?! Did Damon (Ian Somerhalder) really just kill him in the middle of the road like that? After eight seasons?!
We can’t help but think there’s no way Tyler would go out like this, right? The episode ended fairly abruptly as Damon continued to suck the blood from his body.
So let’s talk – is Tyler Lockwood gone for good? Take our poll below and tell us what you think in the comments section!
Tyler is heading back to Mystic Falls!
The Vampire Diaries star Michael Trevino will officially be returning to the show this fall for the eighth and final season.
“First appearing in episode 3, Tyler will once again come face-to-face with Damon (Ian Somerhalder), except this time, Damon’s mental state is even worse as he continues to spiral out of control after his experience in the vault,” EW reports. “Tyler will attempt to talk some sense into Damon by reminding him what and who is important, but if history is any indication, Damon’s not always eager to listen to Tyler…”
The Vampire Diaries premieres on Friday, October 21 @ 8PM on The CW.

Fans of The Vampire Diaries got quite the surprise during last week’s episode when a familiar face popped up!
That’s right, Tyler (Michael Trevino) was seen in a flash forward scene three years from now when Stefan (Paul Wesley) calls him to warn Caroline (Candice King) about something.
From the looks of it, he’s working in New York City and quite successful. So what did this mean for that character?
“We wanted to remind the audience that Tyler’s still very much a part of [the show's] universe,” executive producer Caroline Dries told TVLine.com. “When you’re fortunate enough to leave Mystic Falls – and not because you died – we try to exploit and embrace that. Tyler got away, so to speak, and just seeing a little glimpse of him in the show told the audience, ‘Look, three years from now, the guy’s still alive. So there’s some hope.’”
She added, “Tyler is one of the success stories of Mystic Falls. Him having been able to escape the supernatural politics of the town is what that [appearance] was all about. Also, him letting Stefan know that he’ll always be there as an extension of their group.”
The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays @ 8PM on The CW.

There’s no word on whether they are dating or not, but we do know they’ve been friends for several years.
In fact, Alexandra was part of a very popular on-screen couple on As the World Turns with Zach Roerig, one of Michael‘s co-stars and good friends!
Michael previously dated Glee‘s Jenna Ushkowitz for three years before splitting back in May 2014.
Nina Dobrev gets a little teary eyed in a cute new video with Michael Trevino after wrapping their last scene together on The Vampire Diaries.
“That’s a wrap on Elena and Tyler. We were just kids when we started the show, and we still are, 6 years later. #TVDFamily Love you Trevino…” the 26-year-old actress captioned with the video. Watch it below!
Just a few days earlier, Nina was feeling the end coming near: “Ok. Officially a mess. No hiding it anymore. Today has been a day filled with farewells.. I still have 2 more days of shooting before I wrap TVD. But it’s officially a wrap on Caroline&Elena&Bonnie. Finished filming with these two beautiful, funny, sweet, sassy, amazingly talented and lovely ladies…. @candiceaccola @katgrahampics .

Nina Dobrev spent the holiday weekend with her Vampire Diaries family and now fans are speculating that she’s leaving the show!
The 26-year-old actress hung out with co-stars Kat Graham, Michael Trevino, Candice Accola and hubby Joe King, and Michael Malarkey, as well as some crew members, all of whom shared the fun on Instagram.
Two photos in particular, which have since been deleted and/or edited, had very mysterious captions. One read, “lake life in honor of @michael_trevino and @nina_dobrev,” which doesn’t seem too suspicious.
But the other said, “playin a little croquet at the lake #unicornlake #ninawewillmissyou.” Check out the screenshots below!
This of course made the fans go crazy! While some are wondering what this means for the show, others are convinced this means that their favorite couples are endgame. Check out some reactions below!
The Vampire Diaries has indeed been picked up for a seventh season, but there’s no official word on which castmembers have signed on yet.
