This Sunday Jeff got into the nitty gritty of some of the recent issues fans have brought up about the show.

The obvious chemistry between Derek and Jennifer Blake has some STEREK fans in full on hate mode - Jeff addressed that with a lengthy response we've posted elsewhere.

Below we find out if Derek knew just how cruel he was being to Isaac when he threw that glass, the name of the actor playing the merged twins and just what happens to their pants when they become the big guy.


 * Q. Hi Jeff, I was just wondering how many years has it really been since the fire? Cause stiles said 10 years in the pilot then Derek said 6 years in the middle of season 1 then Derek said 9 years in 3x03. So how many years has it been?


 * A. Six. Derek’s line in 3x03 was actually “not in years."


 * Q. Hey Jeff! To be honest i didn't like the first meeting between Derek and Ms. Blake, but I will admit the second meeting was so much better!


 * A. Wait till u see the third!


 * Q. Do you enjoy watching the finished product of your writing?


 * A. Some days it’s confusing. “Where did that lightning come from?" ha-ha.


 * Q. Hey Jeff! I hate to be greedy, but how about some more gay/bi guys on the show?


 * A. Agreed.


 * Q. I really love Ms. Blake and Derek together! Will we learn more about her history or is she written with focus on Derek?


 * A. One person! Yay.


 * Q. How the hell do you stay positive in the face of So. Much. Feckless. Criticism? Fandom does not seem to think you can do anything right, even when it's clear that you're trying. When i read your q&as, I end up wishing I could punch people through the internet. How do you cope?


 * A. Haha, never Google self, never look at tags. You know, I’m creating a product that is put out to a large audience. You have to be ready for critique, especially as the show gets more and more people. But to be honest, wow, people can be mean online. I saw something a while back where someone said they wanted to burn my house down. Yeesh.


 * Q. Is there ever going to be a queer girl as a main character?


 * A. We have been talking about that. I think it’s a great idea.


 * Q. Can you explain to me why people ship STEREK??? I watch the show and I’ve tried to see it but I just really don't. In fact, I don't ship anything on the show.


 * A. Well, they do have undeniable chemistry.

Q. What did baby Jeff want to be when he grew up?


 * A. Don’t laugh… at first a puppeteer. And then a comic book artist.


 * Q. Will coach be in tomorrow's episode?


 * A. Yes and he’s really funny in it.


 * Q. Jeff! Haha, hey. I love teen wolf! ♡ will there be a new love triangle this season? Perhaps between Isaac and Allison and Scott?! :d


 * A. I’m not a fan of love triangles actually. I know people love them, but i wanted the Allison, Isaac and Scott situation to take a different direction. Let me know what you think after this twelve is done!


 * Q. What do you think about people hating Derek and saying he could've and should've handled the Isaac situation differently????


 * A. I find characters who make mistakes more interesting to write and to watch. We made a concerted effort, for example, to show a real change in Scott from season 1 to now – a naive kid who becomes a thoughtful leader. I’m pretty happy with Derek’s arc this season. Hope you like it too!


 * Q. Hiii jeff! Will we ever get an episode where Stiles has his own story and is like the main character of it?


 * A. Yes!


 * Q. How many seasons is teen wolf planning to run for?


 * A. All that’s planned so far is twelve more episodes. We have discussed the possibility of a fourth season.


 * Q. Will Danny show up tomorrow night? Since its the bus ride to the cross country meet...


 * A. Yep. He has a funny scene with Stiles tomorrow.


 * Q. What's stiles' sexuality?


 * A. Virginal.


 * Q. Will we ever get to know more about Boyd?


 * A. Yes, in 306.


 * Q. You said in another q&a that you kind of have a favorite character for each episode. Who is your favorite for tomorrow's?


 * A. Allison.


 * Q. Was Derek aware that Isaac’s father had thrown glass at him exactly like that, or was he just trying in general to trigger Isaac’s memories of abuse to get him to leave?


 * A. Yes, he was. We called it our Harry and the Henderson’s scene.


 * Q. Why is there so much queerbaiting, and no actual queer pairings? Quit playing with us


 * A. Queer pairings is on my list right underneath queerbaiting. I swear we’ll get it to it! :)


 * Q. Jeff!? I have to know which episode the big stiles and Lydia episode?!?!?!?!?!?!!? Throw me a bone here I’m dying!!


 * A. 311.


 * Q. Who is the actor who plays the twins' alpha form?


 * A. His name is Kale. And he’s huge.


 * Q. Will we ever find out why Erica was killed?


 * A. Yes.


 * Q. What’s your favorite ship?


 * A. Stiles and Coach.


 * Q. If you could go back and do anything differently in any season what would it be?


 * A. That’s an interesting question. I would probably go back and change quite a few things. Every episode is a learning experience. But i wonder if it’s better to leave the mistakes as they are. Either way, i hope we keep getting better.


 * Q. Will we know what happened to Deucalion, how he turned blind?


 * A. Yes.


 * Q. Are there going to be a lot of Stiles this season? I love Scott and Stiles' friendship and I’d love to see a really emotional, friendship affirming scene between them :d


 * A. One of my favorite scenes between them is in episode 306.


 * Q. Will Colton be returning at all? Maybe as a cameo in a flashback or dream sequence?


 * A. Colton came to our screening party a few weeks ago. So he’s always part of the teen wolf family. But I think he’s quite happy on Arrow.


 * Q. Will Scott and Isaac’s relationship change now that they're living together?


 * A. Yes, it will. They will become closer. Isaac will be risking his life for Scott in tomorrow night’s episode.


 * Q. Do you know what Stiles' real name is?


 * A. Yes, I do.


 * Q. Hi Jeff. Deucalion mentioned to Derek that he knew his mom. Is Deucalion perhaps mama Hale's old lover or ex?


 * A. Not a lover.


 * Q. How is it possible that the twins' pants combine when they shift together? Does their underwear do it too?


 * A. I think Aiden just literally gets sucked into Ethan’s body and Ethan’s pants stretch to a couple of sizes larger. (That’s a terrible answer, sorry).


 * Q. I just wanted to say I love the alpha twins. They've become one of the things I love most about the new season. So can we get more of them please? (and also more Dethan - Danny/Ethan and Aydia - Aiden/Lydia). Thank you!


 * A. You will indeed get more of them. And charlie and max happen to be two of the greatest guys ever.


 * Q. How much influence do you have on what the other writers write? Do you revise all the episodes and can you tell them "um, didn't like this bit, can you change it?"


 * A. The writers contribute tremendously to the whole storyline of the season. We plot everything out together. I do a heavy production rewrite though on the scripts. Christian likes to tell me that neither JJ Abrams nor Alan Ball rewrote him as much I did.


 * Q. Is there any symbolic meaning behind Lydia’s name that relates to what she is?


 * A. We choose certain names for their meaning, but Lydia’s wasn’t one of them. Hope that doesn’t ruin any interesting theories!


 * Q. Was the "Everydays dead baby day yay!" line scripted or improvised by Dylan?


 * A. I wrote that line actually. Dylan was very iffy on doing the “yay" at the end of it, but I asked him to just go for it.


 * Q. Scott seems to have a pretty easy time with full moons...where's the werewolf conflict if the wolves in this verse can learn control so easy?


 * A. That was actually a choice we made. How much do we want to play our wolves as struggling to contain the beast? We did that all first season and I personally felt as though we mined it for all we could.


 * Q. Any upcoming Lydia scoop?


 * A. We just finished the final post production work on 306 which is a Lydia as main character episode. And it’s one of my favorites.


 * Q. Will we find out if Scott let Isaac stay with him?


 * A. Isaac is living with the McCalls.


 * Q. I'm wondering if it means something so the tree that was at the end of the credits was also the same tree Lydia was drawing in the band room? Does it mean anything??


 * A. You are paying attention to the right details.


 * Q. Is Gerard behind these mysterious kills??


 * A. Interesting theory… :)


 * Q. The things that Dr. Deaton was pushing away so much that it became a habit to do with other things - does that have anything to do with his relationship to the Hales and will we start to get answers soon?


 * A. Yes, very much to do with the Hales.


 * Q. Hey Jeff! Do we see more of Boyd tomorrow? And is he aware that the alpha twins are prowling the campus? Thanks!


 * A. Yes, you do see more of him. And he’s aware of all of the alphas.
