The Vampire Diaries Season 6 news, spoilers: Damon's fate unclear, Caroline and Stefan's friendship will be put to the test, Plus, Alaric's back!

As The Vampire Diaries Season 6 premieres on October 2 on CW, the show's fans can't wait to find out what becomes of Damon, Elena, Stefan, and Caroline.

The Vampire Diaries Season 5 cliffhanger ending hinted that Damon and Bonnie might be dead as they were trapped in the Other Side, which was on the verge of collapsing.

Damon's disappearance strains his younger brother Stefan's friendship with Caroline.

"Caroline isn't going to let Stefan off the hook very easily. In fact, his determination to move on and start a new life after the loss of his brother may ultimately ruin the friendship he's built with her over the years," said Julie Plec, executive producer of The Vampire Diaries.

Plec also shared that Alaric returns to The Vampire Diaries Season 6, but would find it hard adjusting to his new identity.

"Alaric is having a hard time reconciling his former self with his new vampire identity. And when he meets a fascinating and smart new woman, it makes it even more difficult," said Matthew Davis, who plays Alaric.
