Their relationship becomes more complicated when Stefan's mysterious older brother Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) returns, with a plan to bring back their former love Katherine Pierce (also played by Dobrev), a vampire who looks exactly like Elena.
GAY STORYLINE: Luke Parker (Chris Brochu) and Kai Parker (Chris Wood) are witch brothers as well as enemies as well as former allies.
