SPOILERS AHEAD…

Following the airing of the last episode of The Vampire Diaries “O, Come All Ye Faithful”, TV Line had a chance to chat with Julie Plec about the loss of Tyler’s mom, Damon and Elena’s struggles, the future of Caroline and Klaus and what’s coming up in the next episode when the show returns from hiatus January 17th, 2013.

TVLINE | The next episode is kind of Breakfast Club-y. Who’s trapped together, and what emotions does it bring out?

It has a lot to do with what Rebekah’s up to. She’s been gone for quite some time. She’s missed a lot. So [in] her efforts to try to get information out of everybody…she gets caught up on the goings-on in Mystic Falls in her absence, including that Stefan and Elena are broken up, that Elena slept with Damon, that there’s a sire bond at play, that the cure hasn’t been found yet – all kinds of great things which she gets out of them in the form of a pretty malicious detention at school.

E!Online chatted with Julie Plec recently, and here she sheds some light on this whole sire bond issue. Check it out!

Does Elena really love Damon? Or is it all that blasted sire stuff?
Damon and Elena are both going to be asking themselves these questions. Damon, used to rejection, is probably going to question it even more than Elena, who has a very strong opinion about how she feels.

When does Elena find out?
Next week.

Is there any real hope for Damon and Elena as a legit couple?
The sire bond issue will force them each to dig deep into their feelings towards each other as they try to define and defend them. This could either make them stronger than ever or tear them apart.

TV Guide has the latest Vampire Diaries Bite for us! Julie Plec talks about which couples are shaky and which will survive. Watch and listen!

News journalists had an opportunity to preview tonight’s episode yesterday, and had a sit down with Julie Plec, Michael Narducci and Todd Williams to discuss the show. Wetpaint just so happen to be one of the lucky ones, and had a chance to chat with them all about Connor, The Cure’s repercussions and the upcoming holiday episode. Here’s an interesting nugget of information from their interview, then read the rest over at Wetpaint.

The search for the cure, obviously, is a personal story even though Elena doesn’t know it yet. But obviously, the consequences of it existing would be huge for the entire universe of the show and every character having the decision to make whether they want it or not. Are we going to start to see that filtering out, the idea of just what the major consequences would be if that was real?

Julie Plec: Here’s what I’ll say about that. First of all, everything you said is a hundred percent right, in that it’s going to ask a lot of questions. It’s going to make our characters ask a lot of questions about themselves, about what they would want. Would they want it? What would they do in order to get it? It’s going to make them realize, “Wait a second. Klaus [Joseph Morgan] is an immortal hybrid who’s been relatively indestructible. Is there some way to make him destructible?”

Check out this interview from TV Fanatic with Executive Producer Julie Plec. She dishes on a ”Nuclear Fallout,” big stuff coming up for Jeremy and more!

TVF: Jeremy seems to be on a nice journey now that he’s possibly a hunter. What’s coming up for him?

JP: Big, big, big stuff is afoot for our young Jeremy Gilbert. This season maybe the biggest story line he’s ever had and we just introduced the beginning of it with this appearance of the vampire hunter calling Jeremy a “potential.” It has miles to go from there.

The CW has a new interview series, called Start Now. And their first video posted is a behind-the-scenes with Julie Plec. We get to see a “Day in the Life of a TV Producer/Writer”. Click the image below to view on the CW site.

EW had a chance to catch up with Executive Producer, Julie Plec and Nina Dobrev where they discuss possibly ending the season with graduation.

Dobrev, who sees Elena not only transitioning into a vampire this season but also into her womanhood, is definitely on board with the graduation plan. “Prom. Hello. Pretty dresses. Corsages,” she jokes. “But it is gonna be nice. Paul’s right. We’re all growing with the show and we’re becoming adults, and we can only play high school for so long and be believable and also challenged. I think it’s definitely time, and it’ll be a good button for the end of the season and for the next phase of The Vampire Diaries.”

Julie Plec spoke with TV Line recently on the upcoming status of  two of our favorite love triangles and more!

STEFAN/ ELENA /DAMON

Elena’s transition into a vampire – and the remembrance of all the memories Damon erased – will have big consequences for her relationships with both Salvatores. “All these things that she’s experienced with Damon and with Stefan will have different context for her as she’s becoming this new person,” previews Plec. “This circumstance, which is pretty horrific, is going to make them all care about each other even more deeply and argue even more intensely and fracture even more greatly and love as deeply as possible.”

TYLER/ CAROLINE /KLAUS

You may have heard that clothes will fly when Tyler and Caroline reunite. But will the hybrid actually be himself during the happy embrace, or will Klaus still be in possession of him? “You’ll just have to wait and see,” Plec replies coyly. “I definitely think that Klaus is going to unwittingly provide a little bit of mistaken identity hijinks in the first episode back.” Meanwhile, a fresh face who has “a history” with Tyler will arrive. “We’ll start to understand that this is a friend of his, who’s been very important to him in the past,” teases Plec. So should Caroline and Tyler fans be worried? “Any time a hot, new girl comes to town, somebody’s got to be worried about something. But Tyler and Caroline have a really solid bond, a really solid relationship. So it takes somebody really special to get in the way of that.”
