Ian Somerhalder as DamonTerron Moore of Ology sat down with Ian Somerhalder on a recent set visit and got his take on his conservation work as well as Damon and Elena’s future. On his inspiration for becoming an environmental activist:

“Just being from a really delicate ecosystem—I’m from the Gulf Coast in Louisiana—so it’s literally one of the most delicate ecosystems in the world. It’s so unique and amazing. 45% of all the wetlands in America are in Louisiana where I grew up. If we lose those, we’re screwed. Which we pretty much did, after BP. And that feeling of helplessness… I decided that no one should ever feel that way.”

And whether he thinks Damon should be with Elena:

“People always talk about this Damon and Elena relationship, and I just can’t see that happening. I mean, he is pretty enticing, and suave, and he’s charming. But he’s a dick. He really is.”

TV Guide also has a piece about the CW’s femme fatales that has some nice things to say about Candice Accola’s portrayal of Caroline:

“TVD’s Candice Accolla [sic], with her blonde brightness and scratchy-sweet voice, has stolen and broken our hearts so many times since Caroline was turned into a bloodsucker that we’re torn between rooting for her to find some kind of happiness and hoping that the writers continue to torment her.”

XXWe’ve all been keeping a close eye on Mystic Falls’ new doctor, and Starry Constellation Magazine has some inside scoop from Torrey DeVitto about why she loves her character, sharing a set with Paul Wesley, Twitter, and her charity work. She also answers a couple questions about Pretty Little Liars, so fans of both shows are in luck!

Q. Why were you drawn in to playing Meredith on “The Vampire Diaries?” What about her made you want to portray this character?

A. Just getting to be on the show alone was a draw enough, but as I have gotten to know this character more, I have just really start to love her more and more. She’s smart, sharp, strong and straight forward. I love getting to portray females that have a backbone.

XXOnce again, our devotion to keeping our British readers unspoiled leads us to an extremely cryptic post. (Dear ITV, we wish you would please catch up.) Jarett Wieselman of The Insider has a great interview with a cast member we shall not name about what’s coming up on tonight’s Bringing Out the Dead (EP313) and beyond. Don’t click through if you haven’t seen through The Ties that Bind (EP312)!

“Oh man. The lines are drawn in the sand tonight. Essentially this episode is going to precipitate the events of the next several episodes because of the way in which The Salvatores & The Originals figure out how their relationships will transpire. Essentially, as anyone can guess, the rules that Klaus might throw down are not really going to work for anybody. The genius and the genesis of that is at the dinner party.”

And on his or her character’s actions:

“What’s interesting is that I feel like that choice was congruent with the creature that Julie Plec is ultimately trying to create. There’s betrayal and then there’s betrayal. There’s loyalty and there’s loyalty.”

Joseph Morgan as KlausIn advance of tonight’s episode, Alix Sternberg of The TV Chick has a wide-ranging interview with Joseph Morgan in which he sheds light on Klaus’s relationships with everyone from his siblings to unlikely friends to potential love interests. (Warning: Spoilers through The Ties that Bind (EP312)!) On the evolving relationship between Klaus and Damon:

“Yeah, you know, I love those confrontations with Ian. It’s been a slow build between he and I. Well, I say slow build, but we tried to kill each other in the first five or six scenes we had. And then we got a little kind of more cordial. So it’s interesting how this relationship develops because most of them share that kind of loose cannon quality.”

He also teases a difficult scene with a horse and gives his thoughts on the Walking Dead finale.

READ THE WHOLE INTERVIEW AT THE TV CHICK.

And Hal Boedecker of the Orlando Sentinel also talked to Joseph about sibling dynamics and more. (Again: Spoilers through The Ties that Bind (EP312)!)

“I think Rebekah is the sibling Klaus is closest to. In a way, she’s the one he’s dreading to see the most because he loves her the most. I think that confrontation between the two of them will have to happen, and I think it would a crime if it doesn’t happen this season.”

Joseph Morgan as KlausTerron Moore of Ology just had brunch with Joseph Morgan, Zach Roerig, and Ian Somerhalder and got a nice serving of inside information, jokes, and TVD analogies to everyone from Batman to Yogi Bear to Kublai Khan. Warning: Spoilers through The Ties That Bind (EP312)! On Klaus’s trust issues:

JOSEPH: I think that there’s potential for him to change, yes, but it’s going to be really difficult. Because as well as being selfish, he’s incredibly paranoid. He’s spent the last 1000 years maintaining this lie he’s told his siblings. He’s the product of a dysfunctional family, having this horrible relationship with his father, being a bastard child, not feeling accepted by the rest of his family… so I think he has real issues with trust…

IAN: I feel like Klaus is what happened with Rome, or like, Kublai Khan. He’s created this empire of deceit, and he has to keep it down to protect himself.

Plus, Assignment X recently caught up with Candice Accola and asked her about shipping, stunts, and more. On how her dance training has helped:

“By no means was I going to be a professional dancer, but I grew up taking dance classes down the street and that’s actually been the most helpful in the stunt work, counting out the steps and “five, six, seven, eight, and punch.” It is funny how those little things that you learned as a kid that you don’t think are going to translate, all of a sudden, as an adult, they help you out in your job. So that was something that I did physically when I was young.”
