More immediately compelling, though, is the new hunter, doing the job properly in Alaric’s place. It’s all down to the actress at this point, since we know very little about her, but she’s sympathetic and engaging and I can’t wait to see more of her. April ( Nine Lives of Chloe King’s Grace Phipps) is Pastor Young’s daughter, now an orphan, and I guess she’s taking Elena’s place in the ‘poor little parentless child’ seat. Thankfully, the two new characters both seem like winners, with April Young donning a white hat in opposition to ruthless new hunter Connor’s darker headwear. I’m bored of the couple, though, and don’t think a proposed love triangle with Klaus would change that.
Caroline gets slightly more to do simply because she’s recently gone through the transition, and I look forward to her coaching of Elena down the road. His hybrid status also apparently makes him invincible as he narrowly escapes two attempts on his life this week, and this zaps the little interest I had in the character right away.
You have to question why the writers switched Tyler and Klaus (who, along with Rebekah, are missing this week) at all, since there’s been zero fallout from the incident. Whilst Elena and Damon are engaging in some sexy ‘blood-sharing’, Caroline and Tyler are both officially alive and back together.
