Reunited and it feels so good!

Yes, Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) fans, your time has finally come, as your favorite Vampire Diaries couple will finally be reunited when Tyler makes his long-awaited return to Mystic Falls.

We chatted with the lovely Candice about the couple’s “steamy” reunion and the show’s mysterious new big baddie, who may just give Klaus (Joseph Morgan) a run for his money in the evil department. We also weaseled some teases out of Candice about each of the remaining episodes of season three!

Plus, we played a little game of “Kiss, Marry, Kill” with Candice using Mystic Falls’ hottest men (Stefan, Damon, Alaric, etc.) as her choices!

“I mean, if you’ve been gone in the woods trying to break a sire bond, you tell me how long your shirt will remain on when you get back into Mystic Falls to hang out with your girlfriend? Probably not very long,” Candice teases of Caroline and Tyler’s long-awaited reunion. “There is some shirtlessness. There is some steam. Michael Trevino might take his shirt off!” Sold!

Still, don’t expect it all to be bare chests, puppies and rainbows for the young couple. “The Caroline and Tyler fans are going to be quite happy about their reunion, but how long do we ever stay really happy when it comes to the show The Vampire Diaries?” Candice says. “Tyler is very unaware that Klaus has been slowly infiltrating his way into Caroline’s life little by little. In episodes to come, we’re going to see the result of figuring out that.”

Speaking of the evil hybrid, a new villain will emerge soon, and Candice admits she’s shocked that the identity of Mystic Falls’ latest baddie has yet to leak. “We do have a villain, and I’m so excited it’s remained a secret this far. It’s surprising because usually there’s little blurbs out,” she says. “We have a really good villain. He’s mean, too!”

Aha! So the new villain is a male—at least that’s a start! As for how this new baddie measures up to current villain-in-charge Klaus, Candice teases, “This villain could potentially have other tricks up their sleeve.”

“Vampire Diaries” fans know that as we approach the end of the season, the stakes are about to be raised, big time. With only four episodes left, Zap2it sat down with Candice Accola to chat about what’s to come for Caroline, including her blooming love triangle with Klaus and Tyler and that fun banter between her and Rebekah.

First thing’s first — Tyler’s coming home in this week’s episode! “He’s been working on trying to break the sire bond that he has with Klaus, so when he comes back to town we’re going to see if he was successful or if he was not, and it’s going to be put to the test,” Candice teases. “We’re going to hear about his experiences that he’s had, and we’re going to hear about his trip.”

Though the sire bond is still an important plot point leading up to the finale, Tyler’s main concern will be the fact that he is a part of Klaus’ vampire bloodline, and if Stefan and Damon kill Klaus, they’re killing Tyler, too. Spoiler alert: Tyler’s life isn’t really a priority for the Salvatore brothers. “If they find out that someone else created their line, do they really care about who Klaus has created?” Candice says.

Before any murdering starts, though, Candice promises there’s going to be a little romance. “Caroline and Tyler fans, I think, will be very happy with this reunion… for a little while.”
