While all new episodes of The Vampire Diaries will not be returning until January 5, E!'s spoiler chat reveals a few, small spoilers to tide us over.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ariannagirlq1: How about some Vampire Diaries scoop! I'm dying for the show to return.
And some of you fans are gonna be dying when you see an epic kiss scene that is happening very soon! Confession: I squealed a little when I heard about it. Any guesses who who's puckering up? In other news, a main character we know and love is leaving Mystic Falls, thanks (indirectly) to Damon.
