EW has spent some time on the set of The Vampire Diaries this week. Head on over to EW to watch an adorable interview with Candice Accola. Also, check out what Ian Somerhalder has to say about the possibility of Damon getting Elena.

Neither, however, are taking bets on how long it will be until the Elena-Stefan-Damon love triangle will find resolution. “I want what’s going to be the most interesting to happen,” says Somerhalder. “I don’t really know. Julie [Plec] was here for five days and I didn’t get anything out of her. I think Matt or Tyler or even the family dog would have a better chance of getting Elena than Damon would. The things this man has done to this teenage girl, it’s insurmountable amount of bad.”

TV Fanatic’s Matt Richenthal caught up with Daniel Gillies and chats with him about Elijah’s return and what’s coming up for The Originals.

So now that Elijah is back in the suspense-filled picture, what can we expect from him? How does he view the brother who recently placed him, once again, in “the big sleep,” as Gillies referred to his dormant state?

“They’re gonna have to put aside their differences,” the star said. “Let’s face it, both of us have betrayed the other in some way, Klaus obviously more prolifically than Elijah, but Elijah has done his fair share, as well.”

Referring specifically to Thursday’s “Bringing Out the Dead,” Gillies teased the episode will “dictate the course” of the next several installments, with “terms and parameters” getting laid out for various characters.

Wetpaint caught up with Joseph Morgan at the TCAs to discuss Klaus’ new infatuation with someone. Of course, we all know who that is now. But check out what he has to say!

Wetpaint Entertainment: What will Klaus go through in the near future?

Joseph Morgan: We’re going to see more layers, more aspects to his character. There’s going to be a love interest introduced.

What should we know about her?

Well, what do you know about her? Nothing. All I can tell you is that he becomes pretty infatuated with someone, and he’s not used to not getting his own way. And this person presents a new set of challenges to him, which only spurs him on further, only makes him more determined.

It’s a great thing for me as an actor because I’m playing a side of him that we haven’t seen before, a more tender side, the side that’s trying to woo someone, trying to flirt, trying to convince this person that he’s not just been killing for a thousand years. He does have a knowledge of culture and art and music and all of these things.

Hollywood Life caught up with one of the newest guest stars on The Vampire Diaries, Robert Ri’chard (Jamie). What’s next for his character and what role will he play in Bonnie’s love life.

Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) has one very good reason to return to Mystic Falls, and it goes by the name of Jamie (Robert Ri’chard.) Although Bonnie’s (Kat Graham) alleged “new love interest” didn’t get too much screen time with her on his inaugural episode of The Vampire Diaries, Robert assuresHollywoodLife.com he’ll be back to make some magic happen — and soon. ”There’s more story to be told, and it’ll drift towards Bonnie because, I guess, she has a pretty flawed love life,” Robert tells me. (Yeah, that’s a bit of an understatement.)

Like most people on the show, Robert is being kept in the dark about Jamie’s future with Bonnie, but he says viewers can likely expect the chemistry to develop between them, especially as he stays close with Bonnie’s mom Abby (Persia White.)

On doing more films
“I want to become a different person, and that’s what working in film allows. I want to be a punk or a sweetheart or a drug addict! There are so many things to explore… Sometimes they’ll be like, ‘She’s not plain enough.’ Or ‘She’s not edgy enough.’ That frustrates me. I feel like a blank canvas, and I wish people would be a little more open-minded.”

E!Online caught up with Vampire Diaries boss, Julie Plec. She talks about tonight’s episode, Caroline is celebrating her 18th birthday, Jeremy’s leaving, and what’s going on in Elena’s head after that epic kiss.

“Whereas everyone would think Caroline would throw herself a fabulous party and  she would be on cloud nine, Caroline’s actually really bummed out. She’s not  excited for her birthday at all. The is the first time she’s realizing that even  though she’s turning 18, she’s not really turning 18,” Accola explains. “This is  the first time she’s realizing that her being a vampire will hold her back from  a lot of firsts in her life and first and foremost, turning 18. Everyone’s  excited to celebrate and she’s the only one who’s not really looking forward to  and it and she just wants to be alone for her birthday.”

“Elena is confused, frustrated, trying to focus her energies away from  herself and the questions she’s having in her head about her feelings for each  brother individually and she channels that into wanting to help shake Caroline  out of her funk on her 18th birthday,” Plec explains. “But in the process, she  gets into a pretty bad situation with Stefan that shatters her soul a little  bit.”

Plec teases that a scene at the end of the episode will shed a lot of light  on Elena’s state of mind: “There’s a nice scene at the end of the episode where  Elena reflects where she is and how she’s gotten there and who she used to be  versus who she is now. It’s a really nice moment for her that will let the  audience a little bit inside her head on how she feels about everything.”

Kat Graham chatted with TV Line and TV Guide about tonight’s episode and what’s coming up with Bonnie and her mom, Abby Bennett.

Via TV Line:

TVLINE | This week is Caroline’s birthday. How does the gang celebrate the big day? In an unpredictable way. And where it takes place and what happens during the birthday is also a surprise that I don’t think has been revealed yet. It’s not a normal birthday.

TVLINE | Caroline is struggling as she turns a year older. What’s going on with her? Getting older is hard, especially if you’re a vampire. She’s facing new thoughts that she hadn’t necessarily considered before. Everything’s kind of triggered it. She’s also in a slump because of what happened with her and Tyler.

TVLINE | It’s been a while since we’ve had some good Bonnie/Caroline or just friendship scenes. Does this episode give you a chance to have more girl time? Absolutely. Girl time is so important. We have this powerhouse female as a writer, Julie Plec, who’s just so girl power in everything she does. You’ll definitely get to see some scenes of us together.

Via TV Guide:

“How Elena is affected in all this really is very important to Bonnie [so] she’s going to be weighing all the options. If she does [open the coffin], does she let Elena know? Does she not let Elena know? What would happen if she lets Elena know?” she says.

Ironically, Bonnie’s involvement with Stefan leads her to an important person in her life: her mother, Abby Bennett. “This leads her back to finding her mother who, we’ll learn, left town 15 years ago, gave up her witchcraft and gave up her family,” executive producer Julie Plec says. “[She'll be] reuniting and working out a lot of issues with her mother.”

Graham adds that Abby’s involvement in the mythology is “intriguing and shocking and important and you’ll be surprised.”

EW chatted with Paul Wesley, where he talks about how he is enjoying playing the villain, and here he talks about the upcoming scene with Elena that we’ve seen in the promos.

 “He’s essentially kidnapping her,” Wesley says. “There’s layers of humanity, regret, and sadness in his eyes, but it’s all sort of masked by this sociopathic, raging maniac who’s scaring her to death. His relationship [with Elena] is sort of the antithesis of what it was, which was this really romantic, soft, protective relationship. Elena is the key to everything [in his battle with Klaus], and Stefan will go to any extreme to get what he needs, which makes him much more terrifying.”

On playing the “Bad Boy”:

Early in season 2, you sat down with Plec and said that while you love Stefan’s heroic side, as an actor, you’d love to dirty him up a bit. She told you she and Kevin Williamson already had that in the works. Has this arc turned out to be everything you hoped for?

Yeah, I don’t want the arc to end. I don’t want to go back to being the good guy. Look, Julie said we’re gonna milk it as long as we can. I also understand that things get old. Hopefully this is still new and fresh. You know, he was the good guy for two years. Maybe I can do another two years as the bad guy to balance it out. [Laughs] I think everybody likes playing the bad boy.

The Insider‘s Jarret Wieselman chatted with Kat Graham the other day when she was making her interview rounds, and here she teases the next big shock.

Insider: In this dream, she saw Klaus lying in the coffin that in reality can’t be opened. How long will it remain sealed?

Kat: I can’t say how long it will be but I can tell you that whatever is in that coffin is extremely important to the future of what’s happening in Mystic Falls – and the show in general. There’s a lot of weight to that reveal.

Insider: Suffice it to say, the reveal will be, in true TVD fashion, shocking?

Kat: So shocking. I thought that by season three they wouldn’t be able to shock me anymore, but that has not been the case at all. It’s always said that a third season is the best season, and in our case, that’s so true. This year is so incredibly shocking. It’s a mind f*** and I love it [laughs]. People will not believe what’s coming and the degree of twists and turns with how they interlock the originals with other things and how their relationships with everyone in Mystic Falls is going to play out.

Yesterday Kat Graham was making her rounds chatting with the news sites. Here, she talks to E!Online, Zap2It and EW. I’m sure there will be more to come.

Via E!Online:

We’ll soon meet Bonnie’s mother, and Kat tells us she’s “like a kid in a candy store” to be getting this backstory. “[Bonnie's] mother was out of her life for 15 years and…her father didn’t really want to be involved in any of this mess. They’ve still yet to introduce him so them bringing in the mom before the father is for a specific reason and it really makes sense for the storyline and what they need right now.”

Via Zap2It:

Mysterious! So how is Bonnie’s friendship with Elena progressing?

I think the foundation of their relationship is solid, but you will start to see some serious bumps come along where Elena is forced to make decisions based on the facts at hand, and maybe not necessarily the repercussions — and the repercussions might be Bonnie. There are going to be a couple of bumps, and I don’t know how deep those bumps are going to go or how high. You are going to see happy and sad, which I think is normal, but there are going to be certain instances that have never happened before that are going to happen this season with Bonnie and Elena.

Via EW:

”There’s going to be some unanswered questions that Bonnie’s gonna have: Why did you leave me, or why did you disappear? What made you disappear? Where did you go? Why were you not in my life?” Graham says. “A lot of those questions will get answered and you will find out where her mom’s heart is and why she has to come back into Bonnie’s life. And that whole thing will surprise you, too, because it’s not what people think.”
