After several weeks of silence - Jeff Davis returned to Social Media via the Teen Wolf Official Tumblr to answer fan questions about the show.

I've collected them for you here - I've placed the question I felt were most important/interesting up top.

Note there is talk of a Season 4 but it's not a sure thing and sounds to me like there are negotiations still to come between Jeff and MTV - he actually questions his own willingness to continue writing the show.

There is some good stuff about the Darach and the Jennifer/Paige thing and Danny and Isaac and bunches of other important burning issues.

Q. For Jeff Davis: since there is two parts of season three, is there going to be a hiatus; and if so how long will this hiatus be.

A. The new season premieres January 6th 2014.

Q. Hello Jeff! I felt like I watched a different show last week, did Derek really ask Ennis to bite Paige? Or was it Peter? And if so, can I ask why he would do that (or is it part of the plot)? Here! Grab a cookie!

A. That is a question we wanted you to ask. And we don’t actually want to answer. Sorrrrry.

Q. There are a lot of theories floating around about last week's episode so I’m just going to come right out and ask: was baby Derek’s story really Derek’s or was Peter recounting his own tale of woe and lost love?

A. Interesting theory.

Q. When can we expect the Peter/Lydia scene?

A. 311.

Q. Will Derek continue to have the worst life ever in season 3 part b?

A. Derek has a very different arc for 3b. I was just telling Tyler Hoechlin about it. We’re very excited about it. You’ll have to wait and see.

Q. You might already gone through these q's, but a lot of us are seeing STEREK and DENIFFER/JENEREK parallels in the episodes. Knowin ur style, almost nothing is without a reason in the show. So, what about the parallels?

A. Interesting. Very interesting.

Q. What is Deaton's sister's name?

A. Marin

Q. Can we get the title of the 3a finale?

A. Lunar Ellipse. That’s not a misspelling.

Q. Will we get to know where the twins come from and how they can morph into that beast of a wolf?

A. Watch tomorrow night.

Q. Was Talia Hale named after Talia al Ghul?

A. Yep. I’m a huge Batman fan.

Q. Can we expect to see Paige again?

A. Good question :)

Q. Are the Carver twins going to leave?

A. They will be in the winter season. After that we don’t know.


 * Q. What was the hardest episode for you to write?


 * A. First of the season are typically very hard to write. Doing the production draft of 304 was extraordinarily difficult, though as Erica was still in it at the time we wrote our first draft.


 * Q. Will Stile's dad ever find out about the werewolves?


 * A. Watch tomorrow night.


 * Q. Asking now, cause I’m going to be on a plane later. You said once that we get one mama Stilinski flashback, did you mean in 3a (in these last few episodes), or later on in 3b?


 * A. You will learn more about her in 3b.


 * Q. That’s not really a question but I need Daniel Sharman as a regular and also i need him on twitter thanks teen wolf for ruining my life I appreciate it :)


 * A. I would love Daniel Sharman as a regular. Not up to me unfortunately.


 * Q. Does Danny ever find out about the pack? Is he ever a part of it? Does he ever affect the alpha twins decisions regarding the attacks on (the remainder of) the hale pack?


 * A. Possibly. Possibly. Yes.


 * Q. Are Dr. Deaton and Ms. Morrell druids?


 * A. Yes.


 * Q. Are we ever going to find out where Cora has been for the past 6 years?


 * A. She was actually in South America. Very important reason actually. Can’t tell you just yet.


 * Q. Was Stiles' mom Polish? Please, that would be amazing! Also, that would be the only explanation I can think of by his name being hard to pronounce since Polish is a very difficult language in general.


 * A. This might cause uproar online but yes. And Stiles’s first name is indeed Polish.


 * Q. Will we see Victoria Argent again?


 * A. Yep. She’s one of my favorite characters so we have to keep bringing her back. We constantly say in the writers’ room “why the hell did we kill her off again?"


 * Q. How to werewolves metabolize alcohol in Teen Wolf universe? Does it even affect them?


 * A. Nope.


 * Q. I was watching some of the older episodes, (still in season 3) and was curious what the two bands tattoo Scott got on his arm meant.


 * A. That meaning will be revealed in episode 312.


 * Q. Here's a question for Jeff: during visionary, the audience could see the truth of what happened in the flashbacks versus the lies that peter and Gerard were telling the teenagers. Should we then assume that we know everything about the stories that there is to know, or should we be suspicious that there are more details to the memories that were left out and have yet to be revealed?


 * A. I wouldn't assume that you actually saw all of the truth.


 * Q. What episode will the STYDIA kiss be in??


 * A. 311 which is called “Alpha Pact".


 * Q. Are Peter's eyes blue because he killed Laura? Or is it something in his past we haven't seen yet?


 * A. His past.


 * Q. Why were Jackson's eyes blue when he became a werewolf?


 * A. He killed innocents as the Kanima.


 * Q. So this season has been very Celtic mythology oriented, which I love. Are there still going to be Celtic influences for 3b or will it mostly be Asian/Japanese myths? By the way, the show is amazing and perfect just the way it is. Keep on keeping on!


 * A. We are delving quite a bit into Asian myth.


 * Q. Will The Alpha Pack be around for the second part of Season 3? I hope so, I really love the characters, especially Deucalion


 * A. The ones who survive. Maybe.


 * Q. Will we ever find out who the girl was that died trying to help Isaac in the first episode?


 * A. Yes.


 * Q. Do the Darach's eyes change color? Because in 307 when it is in the doctor's car its eyes look yellow, but in the mid-season trailer at the end it looks like it has blue eyes.


 * A. They are white. Glowing white.


 * Q. We get a funeral for Kate Argent but Erica and Boyd get swept under the rug? :(


 * A. I hate funeral scenes. They rarely move the plot forward. You’ll see in tomorrow’s episode the after effect of Boyd’s death, however. I wouldn't call it swept under the rug.


 * Q. Is there any hope that there will be a season 4?


 * A. I believe the network would like to do a season 4. It depends on a variety of factors. Ratings, DVR numbers. And I have to decide as well if I’m going to do the next season or hand the reins off to someone else. There are always a number of considerations when deciding on another season.




 * Q. If Gage/Erica was still on the show where would she be? Did you ever have a planned love interest for her?


 * A. We did actually. We had planned a relationship between Erica and Boyd.


 * Q. Please, tell me that we will see more Derek when he was young


 * A. I would love that. Ian nelson and I were just texting and I was telling him how amazing he was again.


 * Q. Hello there! I want to ask you something that might seem silly, but is actually important. The book Gerard was holding this last episode, where he talks about Lycaon, does it exist or was made purposely to the series? It would mean the world if you answered and the universe if the book was real. Anyway thank you for your creation! –
 * :: A. It was made for the show.


 * Q. Is there going to be tons of Danny next episode? Because we all could use some more Danny. Lots of Danny. An explosion of Danny time even!


 * A. Yep. More Danny.


 * Q. Okay seriously how old was Derek when his house burned down does anyone know?? Do you know?? Does Jeff know?? Will we ever know??


 * A. You guys are obsessed with the ages. Is there a reason?


 * Q. Will we learn about Laura?? :)


 * A. Hopefully, we’ll be able to tell more of her story.


 * Q. Is the Darach the dark druid??


 * A. Yes.


 * Q. Will you bring back Talia hale? She's so strong, wise and 'womanly’. I'm in love with her character.


 * A. We would love to bring back Talia. Alicia Coppola was amazing in just those few scenes. I’d actually like to see her in a fight scene.


 * Q. Hi Jeff! Love the show! So my question is that recently, we saw Kali and the twins continue to say that Derek killed Ennis; which we know as false. So do they still suspect that he killed them or do they now know that Deucalion killed him?


 * A. You will find out in 311.


 * Q. What one thing have you not done on the show that you would like to explore? What’s holding you back? Also, your fandom loves you.


 * A. Swearing. I love swearing. Damn standards and practices.


 * Q. I just wanted to let you know that despite some of the negativity that you've gotten, for every bad thing that you've heard, there are people spreading that much more positive. You've always been a gift to us and you are the alpha of this fandom. Now my questions is, was it your intention for Stiles and Derek to have almost exactly the same interactions as Derek and Jennifer? There have been so many parallels with the car, the 'i'm not afraid of you'. Is there a reason behind the similarities?


 * A. Thanks for saying that! And the Derek Jennifer scenes all have a certain significance that i can’t let you in on yet.


 * Q. This probably won't even be seen with all the incoming questions. But i just really had to know if we will be getting more scene between Allison and Derek (either now or in 3b). Because the scenes between them in chaos rising were some of my favourite this season! Crystal and Hoechlin were absolutely amazing!


 * A. Yes. More in 3b.


 * Q. By any chance, was Haley Webb hired based in part on her resemblance to one of the main cast members?


 * A. Nope.


 * Q. Hey Jeff ! I know conflicts make good drama but aren't you sometimes concerned that you might damage your characters beyond repair and/or redemption?


 * A. Nope.


 * Q. When are we gonna learn more about the girl?


 * A. Soon.


 * Q. Was the Reese's parallel between Lydia and Young Peter intentional?


 * A. Imagine me saying Reese’s like Gerard says “Mountain Aaaaassshh."


 * Q. Did the demoooon wolffff use to hook up with Talia?


 * A. Haha, no.


 * Q. I really like Jennifer, so is she going to be around the entire season and where will her relationship with Derek go?


 * A. I love her too. She has great scenes in tomorrow night’s episode.


 * Q. I was wondering you're having issues with writing complete episodes or if you're just very fond of the slo-mo?


 * A. We’ve actually discussed the slo-mo. I think we may be over-doing it. I’ve taken some slo-mo out of recent episodes. I do feel it’s effective in certain places. But hey, JJ Abrams has his lens flares, we have slo-mo.


 * Q. Hi Jeff! I love the brolationship between Derek and Isaac. Will we see more of that this season?


 * A. Yes. But it may not be all good.


 * Q. Will I be on my knees & crying on any more of these episodes? I need to know so I can get my feels ready


 * A. I saw the last scene of 311 the other day and I was surprised at how emotional it was. Hope you like it.


 * Q. Hi Jeff! As a budding writer myself, I'd have to list you near the top of my inspirations list, love the show so much. My two questions are: which relationship (romantic or platonic or enemies) is the most interesting to write about and explore? Do you personally have a favorite character on the show?


 * A. I love Stiles and Lydia’s relationship particularly for the fact that we’re trying to tell a story of a boyhood crush turning into possibly adult love. Stiles must see Lydia as more than just a beautiful girl before he could actually love her. And Lydia has to see stiles as more than just a dumb kid chasing after her. It’s interesting to try to craft growing, maturing relationships.


 * Q. As a young writer I was wondering where should I start looking for jobs? Or what is the best advice you can give to me to better my ways to prepare and present my scripts to places?


 * A. If you want to work as a screenwriter you must move to la. Enter contests, work at an agency mailroom for a month, make lots of friends, schmooze. Take classes. It’s a lot of networking unfortunately.


 * Q. Can we see Peter in some tight t-shirts? Thanks.


 * A. You might see him shirtless actually.


 * Q. Jeff, you're not gonna kill Isaac, are you?? Seriously, you can't.


 * A. I’ve never killed anyone. But the story…


 * Q. Q for Jeff: will we ever see stiles, Scott, Allison and Lydia’s senior prom? BTW I love your work, it gives me so much happiness (and much more pain!). Thank you for my new life :)


 * A. If we do more season, probably yes.


 * Q. You wrote amazing love story between Scott and Allison, you build it up from episode 1 and after 24 episode you just easily ended it, why would you write something for the fan to rot for and invest and then just take it way? ISALLISON are not even right for the story. Scott and Allison romance the main reason 85% of ur fans watch the show , don’t u feel like you betrayed them?


 * A. We like to complicate the relationships. I hope the fans don’t feel betrayed. I liken it to one of my favorite shows, cheers. I loved seeing Sam and Diane break up and get back together. It was part of the drama and conflict.


 * Q. For Jeff: what did you think of comic con this year? ( I just found the press blurb from 2010 - how did this year compare to that?)


 * A. It was insane this year. So many fans and such love. It was really nice.


 * Q. Lydia Martin and Peter Hale: will they ever discuss the kiss?


 * A. They will come face to face. But their story is far from over.


 * Q. Jeff, what’s been your favorite episodes from season 1, 2 and, from what we've seen so far in season 3?


 * A. I just watched the final colored and mixed version of 310 and am really happy with that one. It’s hard to pick a favorite, though, because I love certain ones for different reasons.


 * Q. Jeff- which actor creates the most havoc on set/causes the most retakes?


 * A. Orny adams, the coach.


 * Q. If you had to rename teen wolf one thing, what would it be?


 * A. Hhmm, I’m not sure. “The Wolves of Beacon Hills"? Ehhh


 * Q. How did you manage to hire the hottest cast alive?


 * A. Everyone behind the scenes is incredibly shallow.


 * Q. Is Derek ever going to rip someone's throat out (with his teeth)?


 * A. He probably should. All of these empty threats. Hhmm.


 * Q. Can you please stop torturing Derek Hale?


 * A. Eventually, yes.

Q. I just have to thank you guys for putting up the video of wolf connection and the photos-I’m so late seeing it on tumblr, I thought it wasn't going to be seen at all. I volunteer there and i was one of the people in that video and I really believe the publication of it got us some much needed donations and support so I’m putting up this ask to say thank you.

A. So happy and proud to have been a part of that. And thank you to the STEREK campaign!



Q. I know this has nothing to do with teen wolf in the US but could you please tell people that teen wolf starts today in Germany? You have a few German followers who might not know. I didn't know until today. I'd like this show to be a success over here too! It's on rtl2 at 8.15pm. Thanks!

A. I didn’t even know that! Hey everyone in Germany, it starts today!

Q. If I were to guess who the Darach is, it would be Dwayne 'Darach' Johnson. Just for trolls.

A. Hah!



Q. Will we see more Ian Nelson on the show???

A. Hope so!



Q. Jackson's eyes were blue, who did he kill?


 * A. Numerous innocents.

Q. I'm going to have rewatch all of the episodes from this season because i have been so lost and confused. :(


 * A. All will be explained.

Q. I would really like it if i could watch an episode of this show without crying.


 * A. But your tears motivate us!

Q. Did anyone ever point out that on the dvd cover of season 1, Derek has yellow eyes?


 * A. We saw that. Mistake on the dvd packagers part.

Q. I think i cracked the code. The Darach is obviously Greenberg.


 * A. Who told you? Damn our lax security.
