Following a truly shocking Vampire Diaries Season 5 finale, most fans will be focused on who was lost at the conclusion of an emotional hour.

But TV Guide has confirmed who's been found... for good:

Matt Davis will officially return to The Vampire Diaries as a series regular on Season 6.

SPOILER ALERT:

On tonight's episode, The Other Side officially fell apart - but not before Liv concocted a spell to bring folks back through Bonnie.

Alaric was one of the many previously-deceased who made it through.

A TV Fanatic favorite, Alaric died on The Vampire Diaries Season 3 finale, but re-appeared twice as a ghost, most recently drinking with his BFF, Damon, on the 100th episode.
