The Vampire Diaries - 5x11 "500 Years Of Solitude" Stills

The Vampire Diaries - Spoiler From TV Line - 2nd January 2014

PREVIOUSLY ON...  Damon broke up with Elena so he wouldn't change her, Katherine had a heart attack and the truth about Wes and Grayson Gilbert's experiments came out. 

COMING UP NEXT...  The show hits the big 100 with surprises, tears, romance, nostalgic moments, juicy twists and maybe one or two familiar faces, executive producer Julie Plec previews. At the center is a dying Katherine, but she isn't exactly surrounded by well-wishers. “She doesn't have a huge fan base at the Salvatore house where she is, so Stefan is the person who's there for her,” says EP Caroline Dries. The milestone hour will also be a “huge” one for Damon and Elena as the action picks up right after their split. “We see how they're both handling it,” says Dries, adding that things between the pair are “still so tender. There's still so much that is unresolved about it.” Another couple, Bonnie and Jeremy, will “hit some speed bumps,” while Caroline “needs some lovin!” the EP notes with a laugh. And did we mention Klaus and another Originals character will visit Mystic Falls?

The Originals - Spoiler From TV Line - 2nd January 2014

PREVIOUSLY ON...  Klaus proposed that he and Marcel rule New Orleans together. Rebekah threatened Marcel with a deep, dark secret. Adding to the new kings' problems, Cami regained her memories, once again, and Davina became aware of Marcel's manipulations. 

COMING UP NEXT...  “There may be someone besides Rebekah and Marcel who also has access to that secret,” warns executive producer Michael Narducci. “Part of that story will then be how Marcel and Rebekah, who are not exactly on the same page, figure out what they're going to do to keep the secret from getting out?” Marcel and Klaus will find formidable opponents in super witch Davina and Cami, who form “an interesting little alliance.” Meanwhile, the discovery of the Original's wolfy bloodline will unspool a lot more story in the second half of the season. “We have just really scratched the surface of what the werewolf population means and what they will do,” teases Narducci. “We've got some new characters planned for the not-too-distant future.” In the romance department, being under the same roof again will put Elijah and Hayley in “a great place, emotionally, where you have these two people that secretly want the same thing but, on the surface, are a bit opposed.”
