The Vampire Hype podcast hosts react to the big tragedy on this week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, and tackle The Originals and Dracula casting news.

We talk about how Jeremy’s death will affect the rest of the characters, reveal some surprising new ships (that don’t even exist yet!), and try to predict what character will most likely get the cure (and how). Plus, why is Klaus being such a douche?! No plot development is left undiscussed…

Shownotes:

– Pamela gets a point for predicting Jeremy’s death
– Will this send Bonnie spiraling out of control?
– Is there any chance that Jeremy will come back? (…No)
– How will this affect Elena?
– Jeremy was the link between the humans and supernaturals, how will the show change without him?
– But Katherine, yay!
– We discuss why she might want the cure
– Why would Klaus tell Rebekah about the cure?
– And what is the writers doing with Klaus right now anyway?!
– Maybe once someone has taken the cure, they can’t turn back into a vampire
– Are they able to redeem Klaus before The Originals pilot?
– Selina’s shipper pirate tendencies show themselves again, when she reveals she still ships Tyler/Caroline
– We’re sad that Tyler is gone, but the poor guy doesn’t really have a purpose
– Why did Rebekah tell Stefan about the cure?
– The secret of Charlie Bewley’s accent: revealed!
– Vaughn is the new Kol, and Tariq is okay with that
– Why Damon taking the cure will solve everything
– Rebekah/Marcel. We already ship it
– Listener feedback: Can Alaric come back? Will The Originals only last for two seasons? And more
– News: The Originals adds Rebekah, and Dracula adds freaking Van Helsing! Basically, these shows are gonna be awesome.
