Acteur Chris Woods die in ‘The Vampire Diaries’ Kai speelde zal te zien zijn in aflevering 2×12 van ‘Legacies’, hij is de oom van Lizzie en Josie. In afgelopen aflevering was hij al te zien doordat de video die hij opnam wat hij had gedaan met Elena in seizoen 6 gedeeltelijk te zien was.

Legacies has dropped a lot of The Vampire Diaries Easter eggs into its first and second seasons, but the best one by far was when it hinted that Josie (Kaylee Bryant) and Lizzie Saltzman (Jenny Boyd) might be on the path to releasing their evil Uncle Kai (Chris Wood) from his prison world. And that seems more likely than ever now that Chris Wood is confirmed to return this season!

Entertainment Weekly reports that Wood will return as a guest star in Season 2, though there’s no word yet on how many episodes he will appear in. So far, TV Guide has confirmed Wood will appear in Episode 12, which is set to air in February.

Wood confirmed the news on Twitter later on Thursday, tweeting “Miss me?” with the mischievous devil emoji.

Miss me? 😈

Ever since Josie and Lizzie found the ascendant they created as children to lock Kai away in his prison world back on The Vampire Diaries, we’ve been dreading but secretly hoping they’d use it to release Kai. In spite of the fact that he killed his whole family, the twins’ biological mother, and a bunch of randoms (or maybe because of it), it’s hard to name a more beloved villain from Legacies’ mother show. It’s impossible to say who or what will bring Kai back into the picture, but given his history with the Gemini coven and the curse of the merge, it’s likely the twins will eventually have to seek him out if they want to avoid their fate.

Showrunner Julie Plec previously hinted to TV Guide that Kai could return this season, saying, “I think when a key that would open the lock that is keeping evil Uncle Kai imprisoned shows up on your screen you should always be afraid … and also super, super psyched.”

Psyched is simply not a strong enough word for what we are. Bring on evil Uncle Kai!

In een interview heeft Julie Plec laten weten grote plannen te hebben voor een verhaallijn over Kai in ‘Legacies’. De rol die gespeeld werd door Chris Woods in seizoen 6 van de serie, echter is onduidelijk of dit ooit gaat gebeuren en of Julie al contact heeft gehad met hem. Chris speelt momenteel een vaste rol in de CW serie ‘Supergirl’.

So far several The Vampire Diaries veterans like Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig), Jeremy Gilbert (Steven R. McQueen) and Jo Laughlin (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) have swung by Legacies — and that’s just in the first seven episodes! It’s probably safe to say we’ll get even more over the course of the series, but the guest star at the top of TV Guide’s wish list is the wonderfully wicked Kai Parker (Chris Wood).

On The Vampire Diaries, Kai was Jo’s twin brother, who found himself locked in a 1994 prison world with Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) after he tried to murder his whole family. In case you couldn’t tell, this guy’s a villain. When The Vampire Diaries ended, Kai wound up locked in another prison world, which is where we assume he’s been rotting for the past decade or so. Whether or not he’ll stay there forever? That’s up to showrunner Julie Plec and her powers of persuasion.

“I have big plans for [Kai’s return] in my head. Even if they never make it to the screen, I have massive plans,” Plec recently told TV Guide.

Massive plans? Want! Want! Want!

How and when Kai will ever return depends on Chris Wood being ready and willing to make an appearance and whether that appearance properly serves the story, but if Plec can lock down that first part, the second seems pretty easy.

Given that Legacies planted the first seed of a Gemini storyline sure to come, it seems like the show could organically create the perfect opportunity for Kai to pop in. Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Josie (Kaylee Bryant) are actually Kai’s nieces, and the only surviving members of the Gemini Coven, a family of siphoner witches who have some gruesome customs when it comes to twins. So far, Josie and Lizzie don’t know about that particular part of their family history, but it only stand to reason that they’ll discover it one day. When and if that storyline comes into play, it could surely provide ample opportunity for a visit from Kai.

For now, don’t get your hopes up too high since Plec did warn that there are currently no plans to make Kai’s return happen. We’ll just have to wait patiently to see where the Gemini storyline takes us, and in the meantime we can speculate non-stop about what these “massive” plans Plec has for Kai could be.

Legacies returns Thursday, Jan. 24 at 9/8c on The CW.
