Check out this brand new photo of Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley and Matt Davis, who has been cast to play Alaric. Courtesy of LilMissX. I’m not quite sure but I think that he makes his first appearance on Nov. 12th’s episode.  So this may be from Episode 9.  Will update with the exact info ASAP.  Also, Nina Dobrev posted a picture on Tweet Photo HERE of Zach Roerig, Matt Davis (Alaric) and Katerina Graham.
