The Vampire Diaries is Full of Michael Malarkey! Season 5 of “The Vampire Diaries” is off to an okay start, but can this flailing series be salvaged? Some new blood might do the trick, and therefore, some casting news has come in! Read on to see who the next one to put the bite on Elena (it’s always about Elena) will be!

According to Deadline, Michael Malarkey (pictured) has been cast on the show to play Enzo, a charismatic but tortured figure from Damon’s (Ian Somerhalder) past who arrives in Mystic Falls desperate to reconnect with his old friend. His first episode airs December 5.

“The Vampire Diaries” Episode 5.02 – “True Lies” (airs 10/10/13, 8-9pm)
MISSING PERSONS — Without telling Elena (Nina Dobrev) that Stefan (Paul Wesley) is missing, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) turns to Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) for help finding his brother. Elena and Caroline (Candice Accola) try to find out who is covering up a campus murder, and a fellow Whitmore student named Jesse (guest star Kendrick Sampson) gives Elena some intriguing information about Professor Wes Maxfield (guest star Rick Cosnett).

While Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) struggles to return to his old life, he continues to be the only person who can see and talk to Bonnie (Kat Graham), but he can’t convince her that it’s time to let the others know that she sacrificed her own life for his. After learning that Silas is searching for Katherine, Damon asks Matt (Zach Roerig) and Jeremy to keep her out of sight, but the situation quickly spirals out of control. Finally, Nadia (guest star Olga Fonda) uses violence to make a point about her own agenda. Joshua Butler directed the episode written by Brian Young.
