Some exciting news today as we find out one of our favorite characters will be returning to Vampire Diaries before it ends its fourth season.

TV Line reports that Jeremy Gilbert will indeed return to our screens before the season is out! However, it’s not known what exactly will prompt his return.

There are multitudes of theories out there, from Silas calling Jeremy’s form to creep out Elena and crew, to doing possible flashbacks or ghost sightings. Although the biggest theory, and one of the most obvious, is that Bonnie does actually help Silas lift the veil and all of the supernatural beings come back to their world. This is the most probable theory as well, since a source has told TV Line that more than one familiar face will also appear before the fourth season finale comes up. We love Jeremy, but we at Hypable are definitely hoping for some more Alaric this season as well!

In case you somehow forgot, Jeremy met his maker when Katherine forced him upon Silas and got his neck snapped by the big bad beast. His departure is what made Elena so heartbroken that her only option to cope was to turn off her humanity, and now it looks like his reappearance may be the thing to bring that humanity back. Whatever the reasons are for Jeremy’s return, we’re excited to see exactly how it will happen!

How do you think Jeremy will come back?
