FemaleFirst: You all seem to enjoy playing your characters, but if you could play anyone else on the show who would it be?
Kat: I can’t really imagine playing another character, I feel like it’s a perfect character for what I like and what I’m about so for me I’d just like to play bonnie.
Candice:I would play Damon.
FF: Why?
C: Because he has good eyebrows (laughs) No, he just has the best wicked one-liners and he’s so good at being bad.
FF: Okay so Steven, Jeremy seems to be quite unlucky, like he’s had things happen to him that are quite unlucky in the show, are you as unlucky as your character?
Steven: I mean we all have our days, you know, I think Jeremy’s gone through more loss than most people should or ever have to go through.
He has lost his parents and kind of stayed numb with drugs and alcohol and then lost his two loves, which is what I like to call the kiss of death, and I think in the second season he wants to keep everyone he loves alive and would do anything to do so, and ends up getting killed himself.
He opens deaths door and he can communicate with the dead and wherever that goes next season hopefully it frees him up a little bit and allows him to be a little more open and less limited.
FF: Kat you were very sceptical in the first series about witches and then you found out that you were one and you’ve saved the day quite a few times in the second series. How does it feel to have been the hero?
K: It feels great, I love being useful. I think that all the decisions Bonnie made came from a great place of conviction and compassion and I really love that, that she did it for herself as much as she did it for other people and I’m really thrilled with the outcome of all the scenario’s.
FF: Candice, your character Caroline was quite childish in the first series, she hadn’t really grown up but since becoming a vampire she’s become a lot more fierce a character. Which Caroline did you prefer playing, did you prefer playing her in the first series or the second series?
C: Oh I definitely enjoyed playing her in the second season but I think it’s very normal, with all these characters being in high school, to have that transition, whether it’s you know, being very childish to starting to take accountability for your actions, whether you become a vampire or not, I think it’s just a very normal transition, so what I appreciate about the writers is that even though it’s a very supernatural based show there’s still much humanity that lies in the writing.
FF: Who gets the giggles the most on set?
C: Steven McQueen!
FF: Why? Who starts it off, and what does it take?
S: Pretty much anything, we’re all a goofy group.
C: Mines Michael Trevino, he’s like my brother and there comes the point where we can really not look at each other in the eye.
It’s called the punch drunk hour where you’ve being in the same enclosed space for hours at a time and for some reason ‘cave’ becomes funny for no reason.
