Clarke to Return???

From 100% True Blood

The executive producer of The Vampire Diaries has revealed that he would love Melinda Clarke to return for the next season.

Clarke appeared in several episodes of the current run as Kelly Donovan, Matt and Vickee's absentee mother.

She is now working on a pilot for The CW but producer Kevin Williamson has revealed that he would like to feature her character again.

"She was very much one of the characters we didn't get to fully explore, so I would welcome her back," he told the New York Post. "We have a whole backstory to her character and her involvement with Mayor Lockwood that we just never ever began to touch on because of time."

Williamson added: "If she's willing to come to play, we have more story to tell with her."

The Vampire Diaries continues Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW in the US and Tuesdays at 9pm on ITV2 in the UK
