"Daniel Gillies has revealed that he is returning for the season finale of The Vampire Diaries.  The 36-year-old, who plays the Original vampire Elijah, said that he will return to Mystic Falls to restore order.    &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m coming back,&amp;quot; Gillies told E! Online. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a hot mess in Mystic Falls. It&amp;#039;s a hot mess! We need a little Elijah to restore some order.&amp;quot; He went on to say that the season finale is heartbreaking, promising that there will be &amp;quot;some tragedy&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;[The episode is] just going to rock the foundation of the fandom,&amp;quot; the actor said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s stunning what the writers have done. I love what (executive producer) Julie Plec has done.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m as eager as the fans to see how it evolves,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s deeply tragic. You can expect some tragedy. That&amp;#039;s all I can really say. Whatever&amp;#039;s happening with this group of people is about to be changed forever.&amp;quot; Plec previously revealed that the season finale will feature extensive flashbacks focusing on Elena&amp;#039;s (Nina Dobrev) life prior to the series, before the death of her parents and her first meeting with Stefan (Paul Wesley).
