CliqueClack caught up with Vampire Diaries executive producer Julie Plec yesterday to discuss the current Originals predicament, the tension within the Elena/Salvatore love triangle, Stefan’s ongoing struggle with his own humanity, when beloved characters will return to Mystic Falls, and what we can expect as we head towards the Season 3 finale. (After tonight, only seven episodes left!)
The rest of the season is centered around some very specific stories. One of which is that we started telling the audience that there is potentially a serial killer in Mystic Falls. The episode where we come back after the next little mini-hiatus really dives right into that mystery and tells us, starts to give us a sense of what’s actually going on and who’s behind this strange trail of bodies that have been stacking up. That villain and that mystery will be driving us towards the end of the season very hard.

As we mentioned yesterday, Joseph Morgan (in addition to David Anders and Lauren Cohan) will be at MegaCon in Orlando this weekend. In preparation for his appearance, he talked to the Orlando Sentinel about his experiences working on the show and the character of Klaus. On Klaus’s development over time:
“It’s a natural progression,” Morgan says. “He started off as two-dimensional, but thanks to good writing, there have been some strong elements of humanity. He needs to evolve. Otherwise, people will just hate him. Unless he develops more human attributes, people will find him hard to relate to.”
And on his decision to take the role:
“It’s been the best decision I could have made,” Morgan says. “It really has put me in the public eye and given me an amazing fan base that’s been so supportive. I’ve never been a part of American TV. Seventeen episodes [so far] and many to come, I hope.”
We certainly hope so too!

If fans of The Vampire Diaries agree on anything, it’s that people need to stop sticking daggers in Elijah, because we just can’t take it anymore. KSite TV interviewed Daniel Gillies about recent developments for his character (spoiler alert for Dangerous Liaisons (EP314)) and asked for his thoughts on Elijah’s immense popularity.
One of the perhaps unexpected things about Elijah is how warmly he has been accepted by the Vampire Diaries fan base. What does Gillies think? “I’m so grateful for it,” he says. “I’ve never really had a character like this before. My response to it that I’m extremely flattered. It’s what you would hope for, whenever you take a role. I had no idea that he would have the effect he did.”
Daniel also talks more about various developments in season 3.

Speaking of season 3 developments, Zap2it spoke with Julie Plec about what’s coming up next after last week’s eventful episode (another spoiler alert for Dangerous Liaisons!). Julie talks about the current state of things between Damon and Elena, and teases the upcoming flashback episode, which will guest star Cassidy Freeman.
“I haven’t seen [her episode], I’ve only heard that she’s awesome,” Plec says. “Cassidy Freeman’s character is a vampire that we’ll meet in our 16th episode, which is the first episode in March back. The episode is called ’1912′ and it’s timed about 100 years ago… when Damon was still the Damon that walked out the door in a huff of disappointment and piousness when his brother was out of control in 1864.”

Bonnie has undergone a lot of big changes this season, and TV Guide sat down with Kat Graham to get her take on Bonnie’s feelings and motivations in upcoming episodes. (Warning: Spoilers through Dangerous Liaisons (EP314)!) Here’s one of the less spoilery but still intriguing hints she dropped:
“Bonnie’s not a vengeful person, there’s always a purpose behind [her actions],” Graham says. “Whether she’s wrong or right by audience standards she firmly stands by it. If she goes against Elena, or even Elena going against Bonnie, it would be because they both have this conviction that what they’re doing is right. That’s important to remember watching the upcoming episodes.”
And in this video, Kat discusses her feelings about Bonnie and romance:

It’s no secret in Mystic Falls that Matt Donovan has it rough, and it’s not so easy for Zach Roerig, either. Playing the last holdout for humanity with no supernatural aids to survival is a daunting task on The Vampire Diaries, but the actor is enjoying the challenge. He spoke with TV.com’s Price Peterson about his work this season, answering questions about Matt’s mortality, worldview, and living situation. Zach also shared some insight into playing highly emotional scenes, something he’s been called upon to do a lot of lately.
He hasn’t typically had the same amount of screen time as some of the other characters, but a lot of his scenes this season have been really emotional. Is that something that kind of comes easy for you? Can you just turn it on?
I’ve worked with girls who can literally just look away from you and then turn back around crying, and I was like, “Holy…” How do they do it? I mean it’s not like that for me, but you know, working on a television show in its third season, whether I’m working all the time on screen with these actors or not, we’ve all become very rooted here in Atlanta together and we’re all pretty close at the end of the day. So when you’re that connected with a person in a scene and staying in the moment, I think it just makes it much easier to get to those emotional levels.
For more from Zach Roerig (including an answer to the long-standing question of whether or not Matt Donovan sleeps at the Grill!), READ THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW AT TV.COM.

TV Line caught up with Vampire Diaries guest star Daniel Gillies to discuss the Original family, recent developments following Dangerous Liaisons (EP314), and a few hints at Elijah’s mindset as we head into tomorrow night’s new episode, All My Children (EP315). Obviously the interview is highly spoilery if you’re behind, so proceed with caution! Oh, and then there’s this:
“I’m really eager to look at that kind of unity between them, because it’s exciting for me when I watch the Originals working together,” he adds. “They look like a new television show.” (Yes, he’s aware of the fans’ pleas for an Originals spin-off and says he’ll do “whatever they tell me. I’d love to be a part of something new like that.”)
Yeah, we knew some of you would like that. And if you’re concerned about what Daniel’s new show, Saving Hope, means for his future on The Vampire Diaries, you may be encouraged by what he has to say.

After this week’s episode, All My Children (EP315), The Vampire Diaries will be going on a brief hiatus. We know, we know – major suckage. But the show returns with 1912 (EP316) on Thursday, March 15th – a flashback episode! The February 17th issue of Entertainment Weekly teased that this particular episode will “explain how Damon became the Casanova we know (and love-hate) today” and Julie Plec says:
“We get to see the birth and rebirth of that wicked, wonderful character.”
And to add to the awesome, TV Guide has our first look at 1912, including Damon in a sharp suit and guest star Cassidy Freeman as Sage. Says Freeman:
“[Sage is] really aware of what being a vampire is and owns it,” says Freeman, who says it “has been a dream to play a vampire” and that she was “jumping for joy” when she got the part.
SEE THE EPISODE STILL AND READ MORE FROM CASSIDY FREEMAN AT TV GUIDE.
FYI, book fans: This Sage is completely unrelated to the Sage of the book series. In case you were wondering!

Ever wonder how the characters on The Vampire Diaries always have the perfect thing to wear? Last night’s episode was a visual feast, but where did all those amazing outfits come from?
Fortunately for us, Zap2it interviewed costume designer Leigh Leveret, and she shares some things about dressing for the ball.
“We do so many episodes fairly quickly and everyone has two to four changes an episode, so we have to have enough clothes for 22 episodes,” she says. “We do multiples because people are always getting stabbed or bitten. We buy the initial piece and go online to find multiples all over the country sometimes.”
An exception would be the clothes Elena, Caroline, Stefan and Damon wore to a ball Klaus hosted in an episode that aired Feb. 9. Leverett searched for the perfect Cinderella-like dresses for Elena and Caroline and found two that are truly special.
“We used ‘Beauty and the Beast’ as a reference to mix it up from the slinky evening wear you normally see on the show,” she says.
This is a great little piece that also reveals where Elena and Caroline’s dresses came from, a question we know a lot of fans are asking. READ THE REST AT ZAP2IT.

In the wake of last night’s Dangerous Liaisons (EP314), several media outlets have follow-ups from a Q&A with Julie Plec. You should assume that these are all very spoilery for the episode, so don’t click through if you haven’t seen it yet! To whet your appetite, here are a few of the less spoilery tidbits.
Over at TV Guide, Julie answers a few big questions, like whether everyone actually took part in a certain toast and when Tyler might return. And on Damon’s actions at the end of the episode:
“The thing with Damon we’ve seen is that when he’s hurt, he lashes out. In a way, this is both the most cruel way he could’ve lashed out, but also shows a peculiar evolution in him as a character because rather than take it out on an innocent human in the middle of the road, he’s striking where it hurts the most.”
READ THE INTERVIEW AT TV GUIDE.
At E!Online, Julie hints at another requirement for a certain spell:
“Next episode, it takes place on a full moon. We’ll learn that, like most of the big, heavy-duty witch spells, there needs to be some sort of recurring celestial event or some recurring event attached to it.”
E!Online also has a few teasers in their Daily Spoiler Chat.
And at Entertainment Weekly, Julie talks the fun of exploring Klaus’s romantic side:
“For us, it’s fun to explore that side of Klaus — seeing a romantic vulnerability there, because it is giving us a window into him a little bit. We certainly find Klaus to be irresistible on a lot of levels, so it’s going to be interesting to see how that moves forward.”

Zach Roerig has been a busy guy! Interviews with Zach are popping up everywhere, and you’ll notice we aren’t complaining! Watch out for spoilers, though, it’s a jungle out there today.
Our first interview comes from The Hollywood Reporter, and we really love the quote in the headline. This interview includes an answer to a question a lot of us wonder every week: why in the world do people stay in this crazy, dangerous town? Zach offers a thoughtful answer on his character’s behalf.
THR: What are Matt’s motives for sticking around?
Roerig: At this point, Matt really has nothing to lose. Yea, he can leave town, he can go somewhere else, but Mystic Falls is the only home he’s ever known. Matt’s the only person left in town who is pure in every sense of the word. I think he wants to make sure Mystic Falls doesn’t self-destruct.
Pure awesome, says Team Matt! CHECK OUT THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW HERE AT THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.
Hollywood Life had some different questions for Zach, including one about the friendship between Matt and Tyler.
So what about Matt and Tyler? Any chance their friendship will ever get back to what it once was?
“This is a very difficult time for Matt and Tyler. They’re always going to be friends, but Matt’s just now getting a handle on what he’s surrounded by. First Matt had to understand that Tyler was a werewolf, and how a hybrid. Matt’s always going to be understanding of Tyler’s problems, but I don’t think he’s going to trust him again.”
The last interview (at least for right now!) comes from The Vampire Diaries official Alloy Entertainment site. They interviewed the actor about tonight’s episode, Dangerous Liaisons, (EP314). We’re all pretty psyched to see everyone dressed to the nines, and Zach seems to think pretty well of the costumes himself.
TVD: Everyone looks amazing! What was it like shooting such a fancy episode –was there a different vibe on set?
Zach: Oh yea definitely! We were all carrying ourselves a bit differently – very, not stiff, but we all had a very good posture about us, everything seemed to flow. When we were walking it’s sort of a like [starts singing] “bada pom pom / bada pom pom.” [Laughs] We all took ballroom dancing lessons before we shot the episode so that was a blast. And, yea, there’s something about being in a fitted tux – it just kind of grabs you and transforms you.
