Paul Wesley Talks Playing the Bad Boy with EW

January 11th, 2012 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Paul Wesley - (2 Comments)

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: Kat Graham Teases TVD’s Next Big Shock

January 6th, 2012 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Kat Graham | Spoilers | Vampire Diaries Season 3 - (7 Comments)

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.

Kat Graham Interviews With E!Online, Zap2It and EW

January 5th, 2012 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Kat Graham | Vampire Diaries Season 3 | Vampire Diaries Spoilers - (1 Comments)

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.”

READ THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW AT E!ONLINE

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.

READ THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW AT ZAP2IT

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.”

Vampire Diaries Preview From TV Line “There’s A Good Little Series Moment” says Julie Plec

January 5th, 2012 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Julie Plec | Spoilers | Vampire Diaries Season 3 | Vampire Diaries Spoilers - (2 Comments)

TV Line chats with Julie Plec about what to expect when the show returns from a 2 month hiatus tonight with Episode 3.10 “The New Deal”. Julie mentions that “It will be well worth [your] while” if you tune in. “There’s a good little series moment.” And here’s what she had to say about the long-awaited moment between Damon and Elena.

DAMON & ELENA: AT LAST! | After several very close moments this season, how much longer can the will-they-or-won’t-they pair go there without actually going there? “We’re not in the business of the eternal tease that never goes anywhere,” Plec hints. “That’s not how we like to tell our stories.” In fact, she promises that “ultimately, there will be a payoff” to the long-building sexual tension between Stefan’s ex and his bro. But, she adds, the long-awaited moment, particularly “what it is and when it happens, may be surprising to people.”

Vampire Diaries Spoilers Via EW Spoiler Room

December 30th, 2011 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Julie Plec | Spoilers | Vampire Diaries Season 3 | Vampire Diaries Spoilers - (2 Comments)

EW’s Spoiler Room sheds some light on what we can expect from Stefan when the show returns January 5th…courtesy of Julie Plec.

The first episode will, as Plec puts it, find Stefan with “tunnel vision” in his quest to hit Klaus (Joseph Morgan) “where it hurts” and rid Mystic Falls of hybrids. And by the second episode back, “We get the sense that this guy, who used to be much more concerned with protecting collateral damage, now has no concerns about who might get hurt as he tries to get Klaus to back off,” she says. “[The hybrids] are contributing to the sense of unease that Elena and her friends have about living in this town, and Klaus is relishing everybody’s paranoia, and Stefan is sort of like, ‘No way, get ‘em out. You’re not gonna get ‘em out? I’ll get ‘em out for you.’ So Stefan starts going all Jack Bauer/Chuck Norris on ‘em.”

But Stefan’s “extreme lengths” will cause him to lose fans (cue: brother fight!) — including one person who has thus far been Stefan’s greatest supporter. “His methods are not very much appreciated by Elena,” Plec says. “Our characters themselves are asking this question: Is he good? Is he bad? Is his humanity switched on or off? If on, what the hell is going on? What’s he doing? And the question of how Stefan is channeling all of his emotions into this rage makes him as much of a villain in his own way as he’s been all season.”

I know what you’re thinking: Will all that open the door for more Elena/Damon action? Next Thursday’s new episode will have your answer.

Julie Plec to TV Guide: Elena Allows Romantic Tension With Damon to Come Out and Play

December 30th, 2011 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Julie Plec | Spoilers | Vampire Diaries Season 3 | Vampire Diaries Spoilers - (5 Comments)

TV Guide has some scoop from executive producer Julie Plec. What’s going on with Stefan, and will Elena continue to deny the romantic tension between she and Damon?

With Stefan off focusing on Klaus, Damon and Elena will continue to lean on each other — although Damon, Plec adds, will be back to “acting out, day-drinking, pouting and being generally curmudgeonly.” But the romantic tension will build and Elena will have a hard time denying it. “Now that Stefan is out of the picture, in her mind there’s a way to free herself up and allow that tension to come out and play,” Plec says. “The question of ‘Does Elena love Damon [and] has she been fully falling for him all along?’ is going to be very much a part of the season.”

Paul Wesley Interview With Assignment X

December 29th, 2011 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Paul Wesley - (3 Comments)

Paul Wesley chatted with Assignment X recently. And here’s what Paul had to say about the fan following.

AX: Are you pleased/surprised/gratified by the ardent fan following that VAMPIRE DIARIES has acquired?

WESLEY: Oh, my goodness. It’s a dream come true. Nobody wants to be on a show for seven years that has a low following. That’s what you want to do – you want to excite people of all ages, and I feel like VAMPIRE DIARIES does that. It’s not just young kids or young girls – it’s a lot of them, but it’s also a lot of people my age and it’s nice.

AX: And what would you most like people to get out of VAMPIRE DIARIES at this point?

WESLEY: I just never want anybody to know what to expect, to know what’s coming next, from the actors or from the writing.

Nina Dobrev Talks About the Fans and Playing Two Characters

December 29th, 2011 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Nina Dobrev - (0 Comments)

Ian Spelling of The New York Times Syndicate caught up with Nina Dobrev via phone interview while she was on set in Atlanta. Here’s what she had to say about Vampire Diaries fans.

“Our fans seem like they’re a different race, a different species of human being,” Dobrev said. “They’re really cool. They’re united by their love for Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder), I presume, and for the show. They’re really committed. It’s one of the big pop-culture references these days, and it’s great.

“They’re really, really passionate, and they’ll fly in from everywhere to come to these fan conventions that we sometimes do. We had some kids all the way from Spain and Australia fly to Atlanta at one point to meet us and hang out on set. They’re really committed, and we’re really grateful to all of them.”

Torrey DeVitto Interview with TV Fanatic

December 26th, 2011 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Torrey DeVitto | Vampire Diaries Season 3 - (1 Comments)

TV Fanatic caught up with Torrey DeVitto for a quick chat about her role on The Vampire Diaries as the beautiful Dr. Mary Fell.

“She meets Alaric and is fascinated by his ability  to recover from medical incidents so quickly,” Devitto said. “And that  professional fascination turns into a romantic fascination.”

Wait… what happens to Alaric?!? Does Devitto’s  Dr. Fell meet him in the ER?

“Quite possibly,” the actress simply teased.

Devitto said she has watched The Vampire  Diaries off and on – she is married to star Paul Wesley, after all – but  she wasn’t familiar with Alaric’s extraordinarily bad (read: deadly) history  with women to date. Will Mary survive the relationship?

“For the sake of his character alone, I hope so,”  she laughed. “Hopefully I don’t burn up in flames or try to kill him or  anything. He deserves a better ending than he’s had.”

Devitto has filmed four episodes so far and assured  me her character has no supernatural abilities.

Vampire Diaries Spoilers Via Zap2It

December 19th, 2011 | Posted by VDO in Interviews | Julie Plec | Spoilers | Vampire Diaries Season 3 | Vampire Diaries Spoilers - (9 Comments)

Zap2It caught up with Julie Plec, and she dished on what’s to come when the show returns from holiday hiatus January 5th. What will happen with Damon and Elena? Will Tyler and Caroline pull through and where has Bonnie’s mom been? What can we expect from Klaus and will Rebekah be resurrected? Read an excerpt from each article then click through to read the rest!

On Damon and Elena:

“When we come back in Episode 10, Elena and Damon are finding themselves in these moments where the romantic tension is a little bit deeper and the physical tension is a little bit hotter,” Julie teases. (We know what you’re thinking. Hotter? How is that even possible? Trust us… it is.)

Though Stefan is out of the picture, Damon and Elena continue to spend time together. “They have to work together against Klaus, so they keep finding themselves in these moments that they’re now both free to act on, without guilt.”

Read the rest of the article at Zap2It.

On Tyler and Caroline:

“Tyler and Caroline have a lot to overcome,” Julie says. “Because Tyler, on his own, has a lot to overcome. It’s pretty bleak, right now, and it’s only going to start to get bleaker before it gets better. ”

As far as Caroline is concerned, she doesn’t know that she can love someone who is controlled by someone she hates so vehemently. ” I loved what Tyler said to Caroline at the end of the last episode, which was ‘I can’t hate this, because it’s better. Because I don’t have to go through that pain. Because in a way, I feel free, so fight for me, and fight for us,’” Julie reminds us. “She doesn’t know if she can, so when we come back, he’s not happy with her. He’s not happy with anything.”

On Bonnie and her mom:

“I can’t give away too much in terms of the catalyst that brings them together and in terms of the mythology,” Julie says. “But I’ll say that emotionally, Bonnie needs a touchstone that is disconnected from this vampire life. She finds that in the mother who, as we’ll learn, abandoned her a long, long time ago — and abandoned being a witch, too. There’s some great conflict there, and we’re just scratching the surface right now, but I’m very excited to dig into it.”

Read the rest of the article over at Zap2It.

On Klaus and Rebekah:

Julie assures us that Klaus won’t be softening up any time soon — he’s really, really evil, you guys, and as we get to know him better in his moments of vulnerability, his villainous nature is going to get increasingly worse. When Stefan (Paul Wesley) stole the coffins containing Klaus’s family, he struck a dangerous nerve, and we’re going to see the fall-out from that impact everyone in Stefan’s (former) life. “It’s definitely the driving engine when we come back for a good chunk of our winter episodes,” Julie says.

On-screen, it’s no more Miss Nice Girl for a while. Rebekah will wake up soon (we can’t tell you who pulls the dagger out, though!) and she is not a morning person. She shared some powerful secrets with Elena (Nina Dobrev) in the first half of the season, only to have Elena literally stab her in the back (only on this show!). And now she’s pissed.

“She ain’t gonna be happy,” says Julie. “She doesn’t like to be duped, she doesn’t like to be betrayed, and she certainly doesn’t let anyone get the one-up on her, which is what Elena did.”
