According to Blastr:
“It’s one of those things that needs to feel organic and seamless,” Williamson told a group of reporters on July 28 in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was at The CW’s party for the Television VampCritics Association press tour. “I don’t want it to be a character that comes in and is a one-off. I want someone to come in and have a reason and a purpose and really push that story forward the way I want to do it, and they’re so important to the story that without them the show won’t happen. That’s what I want.”
