Last night Julie Plec spent almost 2 hours spilling major scoopage on The Vampire Diaries and what’s to come in season 2 on The VRO. You can listen to the entire interview here, but check out this awesome recap of the entire interview by MTV’s Hollywood Crush.

When last we left Damon he was smooching Elena, or so we (and he) thought until moments later when she whipped out that big butcher knife and let us know she was really Elena’s look-a-like, naughty vamp Katherine. So will deceived Damon continue to woo Elena in the upcoming season? “The only thing I can say about them for season two, is that it’s going to be a very profound triangle,” Julie said rather coyly, though she did drop a few hints. “Damon’s still got a long way to go until he’s man enough to deserve Elena. But he has a strong pull, a strong draw.” But with Katherine stalking Mystic Falls, Julie says to expect more of a “love square.” Though I was never good at geometry, that does sound rather intriguing, no?

And speaking of the ancient vampire diva, Julie confirmed that Katherine and Elena are indeed related (unlike in the book series), and that their connection will continue to be revealed. “Our position is very much that the bloodline is the Pierce bloodline. Isobel is part of that, as is Elena. Elena looks like Katherine, they’re doppelgangers. That’s the big question that will continue to be asked deep into the second season.”

One character whose screen time shouldn’t be counted on is the dearly departed Anna (Malese Jow), who Julie emphatically confirmed is dead. “As far as we’re concerned, Anna is no longer in our world. Now, there’s flashbacks and all kinds of opportunities in the future, but Anna is dead.” But if it’s any consolation, the cast and crew were just as bummed about her departure as we were. In fact, when the crew found out she was being killed off they made “Save Anna” T-shirts. How cute!
