Ian Somerhalder sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to talk about (spoilers!) the season finale, and more generally about Damon as a character and how he’s evolved over time. Important to note: Ian talks about the last scene that he shot for the finale, which may not have anything to do with the last seen we see in the finale. Don’t freak out, okay?

Apparently it’s mom interview day today! (Mother’s Day is coming, after all.) Over at The TV Chick, there’s an interview with Persia White about Abby Bennett’s evolution – and her future, in tonight’s episode and potentially beyond. On whether Abby and Bonnie will ever be able to have a good relationship:
“I think that’s something that we’re going to have to see what happens. Abby’s not doing the best job. (laughs) This is all really new for in the sense of I think, when you shut something out for so long… And it’s probably going to be more based on what Bonnie allows, because people who have been abandoned by their parents or parent might want to come back or might want to give themselves but will you be received is the question.”
She also discusses some future projects, including Joseph Morgan’s short film!

We haven’t seen much of everyone’s favorite sheriff in recent episodes, but if you’re missing her, Assignment X has just the thing for you: An interview with Marguerite MacIntyre herself. She discusses what it’s like filming with people playing vampires, what she’d do if she were actually sheriff of Mystic Falls, and the universality of her storyline with Caroline:
“I think that’s one of the sweetest storylines. I love that storyline. It was beautiful and – I’m not a parent, but I think every parent, or every kid with their parent, has that issue. There’s something that the parent may not approve of or that you don’t approve of, whatever it might be – it could be almost anything. And I think that was one of the most passionate, thoughtful storylines, to show somebody who they built up for three seasons as being very stalwart against this one thing [vampirism], having to accept it in her daughter and her daughter having to be brave enough to share it with the mother. And I just love that. I just thought it was beautiful. You can fill in the blank. You’re right – “dot, dot, dot,” it can be anything, any adjective you want, and it’s cool.”

Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers. This week’s Vampire Diaries Bite from TV Guide features some audio from Julie Plec that gives some hints about Before Sunset (EP321) and warns us that the episode is going to be “extreme” and “hardcore.” Eek!
READ MORE AT TV GUIDE.
In a similar vein, IGN also has some quotes from Julie about Alaric, Klaus, some upcoming flashbacks and a few words about whether or not these kids are ever going to graduate. Julie’s comments come from the same Q&A that we’ve blogged from several other sources, so don’t be surprised if some of them seem familiar. One of the things she addresses is something a lot of fans have commented on: the serious lack of stable, surviving parental figures on the show.
“The emotional stakes of this series are about these young people partnered with these people who have lived and will continue to live an eternal life and all of the complications of that and everything that means. And stripping away these kids from the comfort of a loving and caring and supportive family and giving them the challenge of survival, both emotional, and literal survival.”

The Hollywood Reporter sat down with Ian Somerhalder to discuss the answer to this question: “How would Damon deal with the fact that Elena could choose either brother (or even neither)?” Watch his response below:
And The Insider caught up with Persia White to chat about the final three episodes of The Vampire Diaries Season 3:
Insider: Does she get in the mix with magic in the upcoming episodes?
Persia: Abby helps Bonnie in a pretty pivotal way that involves witchcraft in these last episodes. I know Abby isn’t in a stable place but her help causes some twists that lead to the big events of the season finale. They’re heavily influenced by the problems Abby is helping Bonnie with.
