Mrs. Paul Wesley is on her way to Mystic Falls.

When The Vampire Diaries returns next month, one of the new faces in town will be a familiar face to this series star, as Wesley's real-life wife, Torrey DeVitto, debuts as Dr. Fell, someone who is "intrigued by Alaric," DeVitto tells TV Guide. For what reason? 

"Because he recuperated miraculously from what seemed like a fatal injury, and that sparks an attraction between them."

DeVitto is also well known to ABC Family viewers: she plays Melissa on Pretty Little Liars, another drama that kicks off new episodes the first week of January and which will be revealing a MAJOR secret before the season is over.

Look for the actress to appear on at least four episodes of The Vampire Diaries.
