  1. I don't think anyone is surprised by this.

  2. Not surprised but she was so painful to watch last season in the few scenes she had.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yep, no shocker there...all about the Salvatore's. I find her interesting, she might or might not do great things for tvd. What I find amusing is major recurring arc and not series regular. So how long will she play a major role?!

    ReplyDelete
  4. I really liked her so I am excited for this!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Calling it-Damon will have to kill his mother in the mid-season finale.That's why the recurring status,not the series regular status.As much as Julie & Caroline would have us believe,she's no this season's Big Bad.That person will be introduced later.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hopefully the recurring status allows Lily and the Heretics ( sounds like a Goth band doesn't it ) to leave Mystic Falls behind come mid-season for New Orleans to stir up some trouble for Klaus, Elijah, and Freya in season three of The Originals.

  7. This show is so done.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Michael Narducci have clearly said he doesn't want to do crossovers.They barely acknowledge the mothership in TO!

    ReplyDelete
  9. If the six Heretics are played by any of these ... Juliet Landau, Julie Benz, Clare Kramer, Eliza Dushku, Charisma Carpenter,Shannen Doherty, Amy Acker, James Marsters, DB Woodside, Tom Lenk, Julian McMahon, Billy Drago, J. August Richards, or Alexis Denisof then NO it isn't.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I suspect that's just to not give Klaroliners any hope but if a interesting idea like Lily and the Heretics came up he would jump at it.

    Do you mean "painful" as in because she's one screwed up woman, or "painful" because you don't like the character and/or the actress?
    Personally I think Lily is a fascinating character because she IS screwed up - if not insane - and she should provide a lot of drama next season when she butts heads with her sons. I don't think we've seen half of how bad she can be. And I always imagined Stefan and Damon had such a lovely mother! It seemed only fair because they had such a horrible father. But I remember Damon saying to her, "So nothing's changed. I screw up and you punish me." That made her sound like Mommy Dearest. Yet he also told Elena that both he and Stefan were tied to her apron strings, and that she was their whole world. So it sounds like we've got some unresolved mommy issues.
    As for Annie Wersching, I think she's a terrific actress. She makes Lily pathetic at times, aggressive and arrogant at other times, and sometimes downright scary. I wish Season 7 weren't still so far away.

  12. TO have enough problems/threats to deal with as it is.As much as i would tolike see your idea coming to fruition,i don't see it happening ever unfortunately.We'll see.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Me either ... but a fan can dream right ?

  14. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:05

    I know most of those names, most especially the "Buffy" alumni; it would be great to see some of them again. But whether or not they're cast as any of the Heretics, TVD is so NOT done.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Painful as in I don't like the actress, at all, and don't like the character as a result.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Of course.Hope is all we fans have.LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:09

    OK, got it. You're entitled. But I hope she'll grow on you next season!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I can relate to that in some sense.I find Colton Hayes extremely weak as an actor.So,i disliked Jackson & Roy in Teen Wolf & Arrow respectively.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hope. I see what you did there.
    Don't let Klaus hear you talk about his little Princess of the Night like that. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  20. I feel same about Colton too but he wasn't the worst on either of those shows imo.

    ReplyDelete
  21. That's if I even stick with it next season, I did love season 6 but my expectations are low for next season.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I personally think with Delena out the window finally,we're about to have a great season :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:17

    You and I recently discussed Damon having the guts to kill his mother, particularly if Stefan's life was in danger. But there's a Big Bad - THE Big Bad of the season - coming after mid-season? I'm really intrigued. It might be someone we haven't met before, I'm guessing?

    ReplyDelete
  24. That was my hope too, but if they start a new love triangle I'm so out. Plus Damon will still be there and I don't like him. I did like the look of what was going on in that short scene we saw in the S6 finale though.


    It might turn into another Teen Wolf situation for me where there are things I love and things I hate and I can't decide to watch or not!

    ReplyDelete
  25. As i said before,whoever he/she is,that person will be related to the group of Heretics in some way.

    ReplyDelete
  26. New triangle?How?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I like how creepy Lily is, and I am interested in the Heretics. But that's all I'm interested in.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Stefan/Caroline/Enzo. It was hinted at by Dries recently.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Caroline never looked at Enzo that way and i doubt that'll change any time soon.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:25

    I would have said that Enzo looked at Caroline that way but got no encouragement. Of course now we know why. But I think Enzo has someone else in mind, no matter how awkward it would be.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:28

    I don't see Caroline going for Enzo as a "fill-in" while she's supposedly in love with Stefan, and needs time to heal before pursuing the relationship Stefan said he's willing to wait for.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Elena was in love with Stefan once upon a time as well. They could easily just have Stefan do something Caroline isn't happy with and have Enzo be the shoulder she runs to.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:36

    I understand. And often high expectations result in disappointment. I prefer to say I'm "hopeful" Season 7 will be a good one! I think it's OK to have low expectations, because sometimes you're really surprised and happy with what happens. But you won't know unless you stick with the show!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Come on,that would be too weird.That was maternal chemistry.LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  35. It's not entirely impossible.That being said,Caroline Dries recently said this season Stefan would become more heroic than his usual.So......

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'll know from the premiere or first few episodes at least where the show is going so I'll judge from there. After all I had dropped the show in season 4 but jumped right into season 6 when I saw gifs of Kai on tumblr and Loved what I was seeing. Hopefully the heretics will make good villains and outweigh anything I might not like about the season.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh yh I forgot about that, any of the other hundred ways they could it then lol! Honestly I just hope by now they've learned love triangles aren't the way to go.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I can't wait to see who they cast as Heretics.BTW,the writers room have started writing for Season 7 premiere.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I agree.Love triangle was so 2009.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Since it's CW I either won't know them or I'll recognise them from other CW shows lol, but yh casting will be everything for the heretics, they struck gold with Chris Wood last season.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I like Chris from his The Carrie Diaries days.I knew he would excel in this role & he did deliver on so many level!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:47

    I'd like to say they've learned. I'm afraid to. But hopeful!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I never saw TCD, I'm looking forward to seeing him in Containment though, Claudia Black as well who I love from Stargate SG-1.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:53

    I loved Delena but I'm willing to admit that "ship" probably sailed as far as it could without sinking. As far as I'm concerned Damon got the girl, so I'm happy. I am convinced that it's Elena's absence (sorry Elena fans) that will be a shot in the arm for Season 7. Oh, the places we could go!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I will not be watching Containment unfortunately.The show is not my cup of tea at all.I hate all these epidemic/pandemic/Virus.Apocalypse type shows.Same reason i couldn't watch The Strain.Let me know how the show is in fall.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ugh! I'm kind of over her. I expected her to be gone before or by the tenth episode. Her and her witchpire besties.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Vampires Forever11 June 2015 at 23:57

    I'm not a fan of disgusting sickness stories but I can't not watch Chris. Unfortunately I have a bad feeling about the odds of success for the show. It's hardly a new and exciting idea.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I agree.I hope it does well.Only time will tell...

    ReplyDelete
  49. I have a feeling the show won't last long anyway :P

    ReplyDelete
  50. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 00:03

    "A" had some interesting casting ideas in her earlier comment above. Very "Buffy" alumni heavy. I do wonder though, how much of a part will the Heretics really play or will it be mainly Lily as leader? I'm definitely against "group villains". I don't think they work. Travelers, remember? Or better yet, let's try to forget them.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 00:04

    I know you'll keep us posted!

    ReplyDelete
  52. love, Love, LOVE Lily Salvatore so this is amazing news !!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 00:06

    You and I have to agree to disagree on this topic. Like SGU said, this is TVD.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 00:18

    The one sure thing is that if it bombs I doubt Chris would be out of work for long. I think he's the most exciting up and coming young actor out there right now. I did a little research: he's 6' tall, turned 27 this past April, completed an MFA degree in 2010, and the kicker is that his major was Musical Theater! The guy can sing too! He was absolutely charming and a big hit at the recent TVD/TO Con in Barcelona. He smiled a lot and he has a wonderful smile when he's being himself and not Kai. And with or without the facial hair he's yummy. I feel like I'm being unfaithful to Ian!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 00:21

    P.S. I don't think there's any such thing as "maternal chemistry" and neither do you. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 00:34

    I agree it's "all about the Salvatores". It always has been and it always will be. TVD is first and foremost Stefan and Damon's story. Mama S is just a temporary guest.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 00:35

    Did he ever!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Of these seven females/males who would you choose to play the three male/female Heretics ?
    Females:
    Juliet ( Drusilla ) Landau, Julie ( Darla ) Benz, Clare ( Glory ) Kramer, Eliza ( Faith Lehane ) Dushku, Charisma ( Cordelia Chase ) Carpenter, Shannen ( Prue Halliwell ) Doherty, Amy ( Winifred/Illyria ) Acker,
    Males: James ( Spike ) Marsters, DB ( Robin ) Woodside, Tom ( Andrew ) Lenk, Julian ( Cole ) McMahon, Billy ( Barbas ) Drago, J. August ( Gunn ) Richards, or Alexis ( Wesley ) Denisof

    ReplyDelete
  59. I agreed, temporary only. She will be used to tear the brothers apart-only so they can get back together closer than ever. And to regain some of damons humanity... He will probably start off the season in a dark place with less humanity, toying with killing his own mother but then not killing her will help his humanity. Finally, as a way to bring the real big bad to mf, maybe one of the creepy gang, but my guess is someone totally new… My guess, stefan will kill his mother to somehow save damon.'

    ReplyDelete
  60. Well we already knew that. Now show me who is gonan be the 5 eople from her team that destroyed the town

    ReplyDelete
  61. Nah, It's gonna be Stefan.

    ReplyDelete
  62. My friend,it's all about Damon.Who's Stefan?

    ReplyDelete
  63. LOL! You sure you're not in love with the guy?Hahaha....

    ReplyDelete
  64. It's no surprise. We knew it already. What we don't know and should asap is that if Tristin Mays will be back for her role as Sarah Salvatore? I was just getting interested in her storyline and woosh...She was gone.-_-
    Mama Salvatore...She's one weird, thrilling character but I hate the kind of mother she is...I kinda can't wait till either Stefan or Damon kill her...

    ReplyDelete
  65. The fact that it was all about Damon in the past seasons is mostly due to the "Elena Gilbert's current boyfriend" position. Which is a an important position on TVD apparently....whoever has that title is THE protagonist by default...But now that Elena's gone, and Steroline is the new power couple, i'm guessing Steffy is gonna have his main role back...Though I don't think Damon will be ignored in the way Stefan was.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Let see how torn Mama Salvatore will be when it really comes down between sons and heretics. Will she redeem herself or not?
    I'm surprised that she isn't regular but I assume "money" issues and they want it to keep low.


    I hope for some bit stronger castings for the Heretics.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I don't know! I'm afraid JP let all of her inspiring juice while writing Kai and this Heretics, she will fall apart when she losses the witches.

    ReplyDelete
  68. And that is so stupid, especially considering the shows air together now.
    But lets see when CW puts on some pressure he'll get there. ^^

    ReplyDelete
  69. I was expecting it anyway so not really news to me if she wouldn't be back now that would be news

    ReplyDelete
  70. Either that or she will sacrifice herself when the Heretics try to kill him.


    I hope JP has enough imagination to introduce another good story and mythology, something fresh, like Kai but not really Kai.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Given the way S6 ended, I had assumed she would play a big role in S7.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 11:41

    All I know is that the older I get the better the younger guys look!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 12:02

    I agree, the brothers' "unbreakable bond" will win out in the end.
    After Season 6 there's no doubt how much Stefan loves and NEEDS Damon. It's why he pushed Damon to complete his transition. But I've said before that I think only Damon would have the b**** to kill his mother, and only if Stefan's life were at stake. You suggest an interesting twist. If Stefan puts his big boy pants on next season...wow. Just wow.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 12:46

    I get your logic, Sara. The writers haven't been kind to Stefan recently and I'd be happy to see him play a bigger role, but not because of Steroline. I don't think his only value is in being the boyfriend of the hour, Elena's or Caroline's. That's like saying we women are defined only by the man in our lives. IMO Damon stood out before he was Elena's boyfriend and I think he will stand out without her. I admit I'm prejudiced but Damon is...well, he's Damon. I'd like to see a lot more of the two brothers together, playing off each other. I'd like that more than another romance!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I've always been a damon fan first. But I've always said stefan is capable of so much more both as a character and an actor, he's just never been given a chance to shine. His character has always dependened on other peoples storylines-elena, damon, Katherine, now caroline. Damon is usually The one given the big hero moments, I guess because in Jp's mind he's the brother that has the most to prove and overcome. what if all of the sudden stefan is the big hero, he's left to make the biggest sacrifices? Would it even out the fan base a little more, now that the shipper wars are over? Couid stefan finally be given the respect he (some of the time) deserves?

    ReplyDelete
  76. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 13:00

    I think Sarah, and therefore Tristin, has disappeared and will stay disappeared. There would have to be a whole other story line to include her and it doesn't look like that's the way things are headed. Like, Stefan's hiding her and not telling Damon. But where do you go from there? She had nothing to do with anyone except Enzo, and they dropped that like a hot potato. Truthfully, I don't think there was too much they could do with her.
    I agree Lily is a terrific character but not for long. I'm certain you will get your wish and she will be ended by Stefan or Damon. I think Damon, others think Stefan. We'll see!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 13:05

    I don't think she will redeem herself. She hasn't been made a regular because she's not going to make it past mid-season, according to one of our knowledgeable commenters who's usually right!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Wait what? U mean Joy's intel? Not even he knows stuff this much ahead.

    I assume she'll die rather than sooner buykt don't think it will be either brother. To predictable.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I sure hope so but i wouldn't hold my breath.Julie & Caroline are obsessed with Ian & Damon!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hahaha.True.The writers room just started working on Season 7 premiere!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Shipper war is far rom being over.Delena fans are rallying to compel the Bamon fans to commit suicide for their shipping.Other fans are rallying against Steroline as they think it's kinda incestuous coz they have brother-sister dynamic.LOL! Kat graham is showered with N-Word on a daily basis.She even responded to the crazy Bonkai Fanatics to stop that S**t(Her words,not mine) coz they think his head will grow back and he'll come to life.ROFL!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Small limits, but still limits. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  83. Which is disgusting but nothing new. One thing Jp did right since day one was create characters that are worth freaking out over. One thing that is over is the everlasting debate....will stelela ever reunite, or are Delena endgame? which brought out emotions, death threats, worse than any other ship, maybe in history.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Agreed.All this hatred will hopefully die down once season 7 premieres.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 14:23

    You mean THAT N-Word? That is horrifying and so shameful, and can't be excused - ever. Do people think the actors ARE the characters they play, or have any control over what happens in the series? That's living in delusion. Talk about Get A Life!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 14:24

    You are so right. It was so uncivilized it was scary! But some people love this kind of dissension. It's enough to make you embarrassed to be a fan.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 14:24

    I hope so too, but based on past experience...

    ReplyDelete
  88. Ooh Buffy reunion! Musical episode on tvd?

    ReplyDelete
  89. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 17:09

    So am I but I'm more than willing for Damon and Stefan to share the spotlight. I think it would be good for the show, and that takes precedence over my drooling over Damon (when I'm not drooling over Chris). LOL

    ReplyDelete
  90. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 17:20

    I know you're kidding, but don't say it too loud. We don't want to give Julie and Caroline any ideas. LOL Against all odds Buffy pulled that off. I doubt lightening would strike twice!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Vampires Forever12 June 2015 at 17:25

    And you sounded so certain I had half the season written in my head already! LOL It's true though, an idea can sound good but be too predictable.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Sometimes a twist is so predictable,everyone thinks it'll never happen.So,when it ends up happening in reality,it's unpredictable.In season 4,when I said Kol would die no matter what,everyone said it's pretty predictable coz they needed that map completed on Jeremy's tattoo.Guess what-He DID die.Same thing will happen here.If she'll die by one of her sons is not the question here,the real question is who kills her-Damon or Stefan.I'll stand by this theory until i find a solid reason otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I was decently kidding, cause I agree on tvd it would be a disaster, even though it worked on Buffy (surprisingly). I like Caroline's voice, but haven't we all had enough of it in s6? Damon Salvatore solo-wow, enough said. Worse than a spike solo...

    ReplyDelete
  94. That's what I said too. I think Stefan will sacrifice lily to save Damon,,another way to bring the brothers closer and give Stefan something to do.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Oh what a surprise, didn't see that coming.

    ReplyDelete
  96. A prefer undead siphoners or undead Americans.

    ReplyDelete
  97. or maybe she'll sacrifice herself for one/both her sons.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Bad idea:-( ..... By away , since the season will probably be about the heretics for a while , how are we suppose to believe that they'r terrible monsters whereas Damon killed Kaï in deux seconds ?!!!!!
    Plec is so dumb !

    ReplyDelete
  99. Nothing i've seen so far about her tells me she'll do that.Maybe next season,my opinions will change about her but for now,i don't think so.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Damon says witchpire, i say witchpire. (But i prefer Heretics, i just couldn't think of their name at the time i posted that comment. haha) haha, "undead Americans" haha, yeah let's come up with something better.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Well given that this may be her last season, i will be optimistic that she'll go out with a bang. Despite Lily (blah), i'm still looking forward to season 7.

    ReplyDelete
  102. After S06 I have highish hopes. JP has so much space to do great but also fall apart.
    We'll have to wait and see, I certainly miss the show.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I'm actually doing good with the hellatus right now. For all my shows actually. But my withdrawals will probably start in July.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I have too much on my mind currently to really miss them. But with some shows premiering I'll be fine till some bigger spoiler come.

    ReplyDelete
  105. I'm just waiting on comic con.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Cool. She'll add something for the brothers to truly bond over. Just wish Sarah Salvatore was like wise added. Need Damon to find about her.
