The Vampire Diaries - Spoiler From TV Guide - 12th January 2015

"We're actually saying goodbye to one of our characters in the 14th episode," executive producer Julie Plec. "Jeremy is going to art school. We'll see what his next path and journey is, but Steven R. McQueen is all grown-up and ready to move on, so we're saying goodbye to him as a series regular. We got him a cake and dressed as superheroes and gave him a big party!" Plec adds about the sendoff.

With Jeremy's girlfriend Bonnie still stuck in the '90s, will his exit come before their anticipated reunion? Or does this mean that Bonnie's return is just episodes away? And will you miss McQueen?

Who Is TVD Raising From The Dead?

The Vampire Diaries is raising the dead.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Steven R. McQueen, whose Jeremy character perished in February at the hands of Katherine, will return to the CW series later this season.

But will the actor return as Jeremy? Or will immortal menace Silas take on the form of Elena’s little brother?
Of course, there’s also the possibility that Bonnie will finally make good on her plan to take down the veil separating the other side and bring back her ex. After all, a source tells TVLine that we might see a few familiar faces “drop in” before Season 4 ends on May 16.

Steven R McQueen Interview - Season 4

In the season finale, it appears that Jeremy could still see dead people, will that come up in season four?

Yeah, I don't think that ability is going away.

How do you think he's going to react when he finds out about Elena?
Elena? Well, he found out at the end of the season, because he was able to see Alaric's ghost.

But he doesn't know that she's a vampire.

No, but at the end of the season he knows she's dead. I think with the vampire thing, I think that he'll be grateful that she's not completely gone, but he also contributed to the death of his sister, and caused, and helped plan it. I don't think he'll be feeling great about it, he's been kind of inclouding, I'd say for the last couple of seasons. Self destructing. And that's been because he's had something to lose. Now, I feel he's back in the quarter, and he'll start to explode a little more this season, and hopefully take charge. Fight back a little!

Get to use your crossbow again?

Family legacy's been hunting. We take certain promo pictures, and the crossbow is present. I don't know if those are the pictures that we'll end up using, but I'm hoping so."

Are you going to have any happiness this season at all? 

I'd like to think so. I hope so! We'll see.

Have a successful love-life?

Well, I don't know. I think he's been through so much loss that I don't know if that's even where his mind's at right now, but we'll see. I don't know that's up to our capable writers.

What would you like to see happen to him on the show?

Again, the family legacy's been hunting, so i'd love to see him pick up that crossbow more, and just fight back. He's always been the guy with the big heart that keeps swinging, and keeps getting knocked down.

Why is everyone obsessed with crossbows now?

I don't know, they're cool! They shoot stuff.

Have you had fun learning it?

I have, I have. I actually, way before the show, me and my buddies got a crossbow from some, like, sporting store. Just for fun, just to shoot at trees.

There's a new girl coming onto the show...

There are a couple new characters, and the first episode, second episode, they come in, and they come in strong.

Do you want to see Jeremy get back together with Bonnie?

I think they have unfinished business, and I think there's still something there.

How is Elena becoming a vampire going to change your relationship with her?

We'll see, who knows. I think it's just one of those things where you have to wait and see what happens.

Jeremy's probably the character that's grown up the most...

I went through puberty!

Congrats on that!

Thank you, feels good. I go to physicals now, and they make me cough twice.

He was kind of like really immature when you started, kind of, not as douchey as Tyler was, but still kind of douchey.

Ugh, I wouldn't classify him as douchey, I would say self-destructive. You know when you don't have any role models, and you don't know what you're doing, you tend to do the wrong thing.

Alaric's gone. Are we going to see him take on the man-of-the-house role?

I think so, I think he's been trying to assume that role. He's been too weak, and felt powerless at times to keep the people that he loves safe. It'll be interesting to see if he-- now that he has nothing left to lose, and he's kind of an animal backed into a corner-- to see how he's going to lash out.

You said that a couple new characters, probably girls, from the show are coming in that Jeremy might get with. How awkward are those scenes to shoot?

No, I mean… Everyone that I've shot with, we all end up being friends. They've all ended up being talented actress', and very professional, and it's fun at the end of the day.

Is it weird?

Here, I'll tell you this story, this is very embarrassing. I had a scene with Malese Jow, where, you know, we get hot-and-heavy. I had my shirt off, and I was kind of nervous about it, so I decided that I was going to do some sit-ups right before they yelled action. So, usually they say 'cameras rolling, sound is speeding.' So, right then, her head was at my feet, and my head was at her feet. I had just went to do a couple of sit-ups, and all of a sudden you just hear *fart noise*. And then they go action, and it's like this sweet, sincere moment between us. It's supposed to be very romantic, and I just… I blew it! So, that was the only awkward moment that I had, but besides that it's been fun!

Is it awkward to have to take your shirt off?

Um, I'm fine with it as long as I'm given some preparation and some morning events. Will Smith once said, 'If you're always prepared, you never have to be prepared.' So that's a philosophy that I try to have, but it's my birthday weekend! Throwing cash into the wind!

What else do you love about this character?

I love the fact that Jeremy's been through so much. You know, he has all this weight on his shoulders, which he could easily crumble and say, 'You know what? F*ck it. I'm not going to keep fighting for what I believe in and who I love.' but he does. He gets up and he keeps swinging, and every time he gets knocked down, he gets right back up again. He's a fighter, in my opinion. He might not be the strongest person on the show, but he's a fighter. 

Do you fight in real life?

I box, yeah. I kickbox. But I like to think that I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Do you find the fact that you're living outside of Hollywood brings on more of a family atmosphere to the set?

Yeah, we all had to move to a place we weren't familiar with. So, I think it caused us all to bond.

Julie Plec Interview With WetPaint - Season 4

What will we see from Bonnie (Kat Graham)?

Bonnie is definitely in a position where her actions in the finale and the actions that she will have to take in the premiere will put her in a very dark place that she will be standing on the precipice of whether to let herself fall into it or step back from the ledge. And when she makes that decision in the first episode, then we’ll see what she's going through the rest of the season.

Is there an overreaching arc of evil this season?
There is an overreaching arc of evil, and this year, we're doing something a little different in that we don't know or say who that is right away. The mystery is who is this evil because clearly it's something or somebody, and we don't know who it is. And so that's a question we'll be asking a lot in the first few episodes as we build up to our first kind of reveal of the season's bad guy.

Do you want to play with Katherine (Nina Dobrev) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) as vampires?
I can't wait for the day when Katherine feels like she has to come back to town and comes face‑to‑face with vampire Elena. I can't say. I don't know when that will be. If it will be early or later, but it's going to be great when it does happen.

And our resident human, Matt (Zach Roerig)?
Matt has a lot to earn in his life and his mind. He got to live and Elena died. Why? What makes him so worth it? Now, we, as an audience, know why we love our Matt Donovan, but he needs to prove that to himself what makes him so worthy in this group of extraordinary people. How he can be extraordinary in his own right, even though he, himself, is just ordinary.

What happens with Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen)?
Jeremy is now the man of the house, for reals, and yet Elena as the fiercest protector of them all is not going to be so quick as to just hand over the reins of authority or big sisterhood. So he's going to be trying to find his way and his place. The thing that we shouldn't forget is that he's got this legacy in his family of vampire hunters, and we have a new vampire hunter coming to town. So, yes. I'm sure there will be some interplay that happens between the new hunter and our Gilbert family legacy.

Will Meredith (Torrey DeVitto) struggle with the decision she made?
Meredith has a big choice to make. She just found herself kind of plopped right in the center of this whole supernatural universe. Does she want to stay in it, or does she want to get out? Does she want to be Damon's new drinking buddy, or does she want to keep her distance? What is her future? So we'll see her asking herself that question too early on.

Jeremy Will Return For Season 4

The CW hasn't announced a pickup for Season 4 of "The Vampire Diaries" yet, but fans can rest easy -- there is zero chance that the network would cancel its best-rated drama. Though the show is sure to be back, we also know that not every cast member will return for Season 4.

With Jeremy in Denver, Steven R. McQueen has been largely missing in action from Season 3. He makes his triumphant return on April 19, when Elena and Damon visit him -- and yes, heis returning to Mystic Falls with his sister. 

Still since he missed out on so much of Season 3, we had our doubts about whether he'd rejoin the cast full-time next year.

Luckily, we caught up with McQueen at Warner Bros' Television Out of the Box opening at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills on Thursday night. With a little coaxing, he revealed that Jeremy's return to Mystic Falls is not just a visit, and he will be returning in Season 4. "No, I'll be back for next season," he promises. "Jeremy's home."

When we next see him, though, we'll learn that Jeremy has been keeping some bad company in Denver. "Jeremy was definitely manipulated by Kol," McQueen tells us. "They don't jump that much into [Jeremy's time in Denver] this season, but possibly next season."

He'll be back in Virginia just in time for the Mystic Falls High 1920s decade dance -- which his ex, Bonnie, will happily attend with her new love interest, Jamie. McQueen tells us we will see Jeremy react to Bonnie's new romance.

"There were a lot of things that happened right before I left," he says. "When I get back, there's kind of the bigger picture things that are going on, and then there's all this stuff on the side. You're just going to have to watch and see whether he has time to fully deal with it or not."
