It sure sounds like Damon’s gonna kill Tyler.

I hope Damon kills Tyler, Tyler is the worst character. I don’t understand why they keep bringing him back

I hope so and I hope he kills Damon this time. Why can’t Tyler come back for Caroline I miss Forwood and hate how they broke them up.

I know, right? Forwood were so cute…loved them!

I wish he was coming back for Caroline. I actually really loved them together. I hate her and Stefan. It’s gross. Or her and klaus at least. :p see I’m not too picky lol

I totally agree with you 100 %, Caroline and Stefan make me want to vomit and seem so uncomfortable. Tyler and Caroline had a thing and definitely Klaus for sure.

I completely agree with both of you! I love Klaroline, but I really liked Forwood too. Steroline is just gross and boring. They’re both so awkward, they were so much better as friends. I hope Ty sticks around and gets to interact with Care and Matt, not just Damon. Plus MT is such an under-rated actor, I really enjoy his scenes.

Yes to all of you about Tyler and Caroline. Steroline are the most boring couple of all time. I’m still wondering how and why they forced those two on us when they were part of other pairings that were interesting and actually had chemistry.
