Will there be more of the Caroline-Tyler-Klaus triangle, before the season is over?
PLEC: Big time!
TREVINO: What we’ve seen with Tyler is that he’s biting his tongue, especially with this sire bond that he has broken from Klaus. But, enough is enough. In the last two episodes, you might see him actually take some action against Klaus and not follow his orders, when it comes to Caroline.
CANDICE ACCOLA: I just love getting asked about Caroline and Klaus because, even though Caroline has made so many mistakes and put her foot in her mouth and fallen for the bad guy, this is the first time where she’s staying true to her feelings and not getting caught up in the guy with the accent. She loves her high school boyfriend. But, in high school, when someone starts putting thoughts into your head about places to travel, semesters abroad, and all these experiences you’re going to have as you grow up and grow older, it’s hard not to think about them. The only way in which she’s wooed, in any way, by Klaus is the idea that there’s another world out there. But right now, in the present, she’s fighting like hell to just have a normal relationship with her boyfriend in high school. That’s all she wants.
..Where is the relationship between Elena and Matt at?
PLEC: Matt is one of the vestigial representatives of this life that was clean and simple for her. Their friendship dates back to when they were in the sandbox together. We get a nice little flash of what it was like when they were dating, but they were, themselves, a troubled relationship. Even though she’s remembering a simpler time, her problems were actually just as complicated. Should Matt be so lucky to survive Season 3 – which, who knows? – I think certainly, should Rebecca be so lucky to survive Season 3, there’s a little crush brewing there, on her side. Maybe there’s some story there to tell. Who knows?
What do you guys do, as actors, to attempt to prevent your character from being killed off?
TREVINO: Show up on time. Time is money.
ACCOLA: I’m a huge fan of television, myself and shows like Dexter, for instance, take those risks. We’re now in the third season. Whoever is not able to make it into the fourth season, it’s enough time where you’ve really gotten to be a part of something that, if you know it’s for the greater good, it’s okay. As a fan of television, as much as it would suck – pun intended – I get it.
ROERIG: It’s also hard to have a good time when you’re stressing, all the time, about what could possibly happen instead of enjoying the present. We have a blast! It’s an amazing job.
..Will viewers get to see Elijah again this season?
PLEC: Maybe.
Will Caroline continue to try to push Elena and Stefan back together?
ACCOLA: Caroline is such a Stelena worshipper. Also, Damon and Caroline don’t have the cleanest past of the bunch either. She just recognizes that Stefan is someone good for Elena, and she is rooting for her to open her eyes and give him a chance. I think Caroline, deep down, feels like, “He is the best for you. He is your one epic, true love. I’m not going to let you throw him away, just because you’re getting distracted by shiny Damon things.” But, I’ve already given a Dalena shout out on Twitter, so I feel like I’m covered from both ends.
