As previously teased, The Vampire Diaries will head back to the 1950s on its January 28 episode.

The Vampire Diaries returns on January 21. Look for the relationship between Damon and Elena to heat up when the show comes back from its lengthy hiatus.
As always, TV Fanatic will be there ever step of the way to review and recap each episode in depth.
