The CW has unveiled a slew of new Vampire Diaries cast photos and, no surprise here, they are anything but unattractive.

But while expected regulars such as Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley are included in the set, the most interesting takeaway is that Daniel Gillies is also among the pretty faces featured below.

Does this mean we'll see Elijah on Season 4? Oh yes. He's filmed at least one episode, the actor confirms to TV Guide, flashing back to the 11th century in it and helping the series introduce "a brand new menace... and not just a menace to the beautiful boys and girls of Mystic Falls, but also to the Originals. A big threat."

Ponder that tease, bookmark our Vampire Diaries spoilers section for plenty more and click through the following pictures now:
