David Anders returns to 'The Vampire Diaries,' spies a guest role on 'Warehouse 13'
As we're all used to by now, people don't always die a certain death in supernatural dramas. And "The Vampire Diaries" is no exception. After David Anders' character, Jonathon Gilbert, seemed to suffer some fatal wounds in the finale, he confirms to EW that he will be back for the season premiere. But whether he'll be staying on for the season is still unknown.
"That's up in the air right now," he says. "They haven't picked up [my] option yet. I feel like the character has a lot of legs and you can go in many different directions with him. But ultimately it's [executive producer] Kevin Williamson's choice."
It's not at all unlikely that Uncle John could survive the latest attack. After all, he survived an attack from Damon (Ian Somerhalder), but he had his mysterious "super-healing" ring on. In the finale, Katherine (Nina Dobrev) took care of that when she chopped his fingers off (and his ring went with them). Then, she dealt him a seemingly fatal knife wound. Does he somehow get back to his ring? Or will we watch his epic death scene?
Either way, fans of Anders (an "Alias" grad) can rejoice in the news that the SyFy network just announced that he'll be guest starring in their spy show, "Warehouse 13." He'll be playing Jonah Raitt, a suspected serial killer who escaped Warehouse capture back in the sixties. "Warehouse 13" returns for its second season on July 6.
Aren't you glad David Anders will be back on our small screens so soon?

Woo! Gotta love David Anders!
Bring him back for a longer stay, Kevin! David's character adds a lot, and there's so much more story to be told with him.
PLEASE DON'T BRING HIM BACK! Nothing against the actor, but hated the character and was overjoyed to see him go! Didn't love to hate him, just hated him.
Now if they could find a way to bring Anna back, that would be great.
I totally agree Cassidy. I loved it when Katherine chopped off his fingers and stabbed him. It was the biggest "Oh crap!" moment of the season. I already figured he was dead and really don't want to see him survive. I just did not like his character. I hope they bring Anna back. Her storyline with Jeremy was just getting good. My biggest complaint with this show is that they kill too many promising characters (Pearl, Anna, Lexi, Vicky). They destroying so many potential storylines. David Anders' character was the first "main" character to die that didn't bother me.
I hope you do bring David Anders back....He is apparently Elena's dad.....so we need to find more things out about him...he can open a few doors to her mother Isabelle.....and there is to much left unsaid about his character.....bring more things out.....Don't let him die off....
I hope they bring him back. I'd like to see more of the character and the actor!
Bring David back!!!He's amazing!!!!
