Michael Trevino teases new 'Vampire Diaries' plot

Michael Trevino has revealed details about one of his storylines on the new season of The Vampire Diaries.

Trevino, who plays Tyler Lockwood, explained that the introduction of his uncle Mason (Taylor Kinney) will be important.

"I feel like Uncle Mason is kind of going to take Tyler under his wing," Trevino told Entertainment Weekly. "And Tyler's going to gravitate towards that.

"But also there's going to be little things that happen within Mason that Tyler's going to see and kind of question. With subtleties of his personality or maybe just dealing with people, interacting with people around Mystic Falls, it'll be like just kind of observing Mason and through that we'll find out a lot of information about the Lockwood family."

The show's executive producer Julie Plec also claimed that Mason will be hiding something.

"Mason is going to come into town and he's going to be a great guy," she said. "He's going to be cool hang, he's going to seem like he has a great heart, and he does, ultimately. But he's keeping a big secret and watching Tyler uncover that and learn how it relates to him is going to be a big part of the story for the first six episodes."

The Vampire Diaries returns on September 9 on The CW.
