We’ve got two juicy interviews with Julie Plec from TV Addict and TVLine to share, covering a whole range of topics and teasers for Season 3. Klaus and Stefan, Damon and Elena, Jeremy and the Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Alaric and the Mystic Grill bar… there’s stuff in these interviews that will be interesting to everyone.
Can you talk about the relationship that has come about with Klaus and Stefan? Will it always be the puppet-master and puppet, or will their relationship evolve into something different?
JULIE: I think if you look back at the scenes between Klaus and Elijah, you’ll get a sense of that dynamic with Elijah of course being the older brother to Klaus, but also being in his own way strangely controlling and deferential at the same time. I’m going to be looking forward to seeing Klaus and Stefan’s relationship have an evolution that is not just, ‘I’m evil and you’re my minion.’ I think we can have some more fun with that. So I’m hoping that the audience connects to Klaus and Stefan as an unlikely duo.
TVLINE | Between Jack Coleman and Sebastian Roche coming on, there are a lot of new adults on the show. Is the Founders Council going to be playing a bigger role in the new season?
Yeah. The Founders Council, in their own sad, tragic, ineffective way, is still very much a part of our world. Between Caroline and Tyler’s relationship and what Mayor Lockwood and Sheriff Forbes have to say about it and then, ultimately, with the returning element of a member of the town coming in [via] Jack Coleman… Even Alaric’s saying, “Well, hang on a second. Who’s the advocate over here for the not supernatural people?” Alaric’s role is to kick the council in the ass a little bit and say, “You guys are falling asleep on the watch and somebody needs to stand in here and make sure that the humans are protected in this town.”

TV Guide‘s Robyn Ross chats with Paul Wesley and Julie Plec about Stefan’s Road to Ripperdom: the slippery slope of being Klaus’s minion and going so far into the pit that there may be no climbing out. Stefan’s letting things go – and that includes Elena.
As Stefan travels further towards destruction we’ll continue to see different sides of him. At first, Stefan reluctantly follows through with Klaus’ demands while secretly plotting against him so that he can protect his loved ones. Then, Plec says, “There’s the Stefan who just can’t stop once he gets started … and then ultimately there’s going to be the Stefan that doesn’t care anymore and that’s the most dangerous Stefan. When that happens that will take the most to recover from.”

It feels like an eternity since we’ve had one of these, so it’s great to be getting back into the swing of things and posting a preview video for tomorrow night’s season 3 premiere, The Birthday. Exec producer Julie Plec chats about the episode and what the characters are up to, and viewers are treated to new clips, along with an extended look at that Comic Con treat of Damon clad in naught but soap suds. Be warned, here be spoilers. And shirtlessness. And apparently, lots and lots of pickles…

TV.com‘s Price Peterson – he of the hilarious Vampire Diaries recaps and captioned photos – has what we think might be the most entertaining interview with Vampire Diaries Executive Producer Julie Plec we’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. Julie gives some hints on Season 3, identifies the two major show moments where she realized what she wanted The Vampire Diaries to be, fan favorites, killing characters, the school issue, Katherine as villain and vixen, accidental homo-eroticism, and The Secret Circle.
So national authorities haven’t yet noticed the town’s death rate?
We always talk about the “FBI Episode” when the FBI shows up in town and is like, ‘Um, you do realize that you have a higher death rate than all of Northern California?’ But look, I think that the timeline of the show is very specific. There’s a lot that’s going on under the noses of the authority figures. And there’s an element to that that’s both ridiculous and fun. I remember that Buffy episode when the students finally, like five seasons in, gave her the award for being the class protector. And what they said was, “It might seem like we don’t notice these things, but there’s some pretty weird stuff that happens in this town!” And I remember thinking, “It’s Season 5!” But yeah, it’s a fine line.

The TV Chick has posted a great video interview with Vampire Diaries executive producer Julie Plec. It’s a little old – from Comic-Con – but it had some things we hadn’t heard before, so we thought we’d go ahead and share it with you. Julie talks about how hard it was to kill off Jenna, how much she dislikes it when spoilers get out (and why), and what Damon would rather eat glass than do.

Entertainment Weekly counts down their 40 most anticipated shows of the fall and, of course, The Vampire Diaries is included. In addition to a new still from The Hybrid featuring Elena and Damon (see more), they also have this tease from Paul Wesley on Stefan returning to his old lifestyle:
It’s not until the third episode that brooding Stefan becomes a guilt-free ripper, which Wesley embraces.
”Because Stefan doesn’t have the sarcasm, people assume he’s less of a threat. There’s a lot of hidden darkness people will be pleased and surprised to see,” he says, adding with a laugh, ”I’m kind of sick of always doing the right thing.”
They also touch on Tyler and Caroline, Jeremy and the ghost situation, and more.

Entertainment Weekly‘s Mandi Bierly interviews Vampire Diaries guest star David Gallagher, who will be playing Tennessee werewolf Ray Sutton when the show returns on Thursday, September 15th. In addition to hinting at what his run-in with Klaus and Stefan will be like (not good? are we surprised?), and that his character’s arc lasts two episodes, he also reveals a cool piece of TVD trivia, with a bit more backstory from Executive Producer Julie Plec.
That casting of Gallagher is equally cool: He has a history with the show. He’d actually read for the pilot. “There was debate as to whether I was a Stefan or I was a Damon. I had read for both,” he says. “I think ultimately, it was sorta difficult to place me because lately in my career, I’ve been leaning toward things with a little bit darker sensibility [he'd guested as confirmed or suspected killers on Numb3rs, CSI: Miami, Saving Grace, and Without a Trace], and that clashed with the work people knew me for at the time.”
