HuffPost TV talked to Paul Wesley about tonight’s episode, 1912 (EP316). On playing a bad boy:
“I get a little bit jealous that Damon’s kind of the bad boy,” Wesley confessed. “When Elena picks Damon, it’s like, he’s so bad, but so good. Meanwhile, Stefan is kind of like the stable, good guy. Personally, I don’t like that because I’m not that in real life. But, at the same time, Stefan has proven himself to be pretty erratic. I absolutely went bonkers when I got to play Ripper Stefan. It was like a dream come true to play Stefan as a dark, malicious guy. Saint Stefan can be great, as long as he’s flawed. I like when he breaks the rules every once in a while.”
And Stefan’s relationship with Damon:
“For me, the essence of the show lies in the relationship that Stefan has with Damon,” said Wesley. “It’s equally as important as the romantic relationships in the show.”

We’re only hours away from a brand new episode of The Vampire Diaries and Ian Somerhalder tells Zap2It about tonight’s introduction of the “badass” Sage, played by guest star Cassidy Freeman. He also discusses Damon stepping up as an older brother to Stefan and how that affects his dynamic with Elena. Oh, and he also teased this:
Somerhalder can’t wait for fans to see what’s in store for the brothers as the season winds toward its conclusion. “I just talked to [producer Pascal Verschooris] last night, because we just got episode 21, which is episode 65… and I just learned about what the finale is. It’s really dynamic, man. There’s so much stuff happening.”
When we asked him if the finale would make us cry: “Yes,” he said bluntly.
READ & WATCH THE INTERVIEW AT ZAP2IT.
And E!Online chats with Paul Wesley about the relationship between Stefan and Damon, Stefan’s dark side, and goes quite in-depth about the long road still ahead for Stefan and Elena.
Though Stefan will not have an easy time with it, Wesley says the process will lead him back to Elena. “The more he deals with moderation, the closer he grows to Elena. He was so involved in his own darkness, he didn’t have any time for romance. As the episodes progress, the audience is going to see Stefan maybe becoming more like he was season one and two, sort of the romantic lead hero.”

Cassidy Freeman gave Entertainment Weekly another few hints (SPOILER ALERT) about tonight’s episode and her character’s story, which is making us even more excited for tonight’s episode. The actress makes it clear that Sage has no designs on any long term relationship with Damon Salvatore, but she does assure us that the two vampires will have some fun.
“We’re party animals. We’re that friend that always comes to town and you end up drinking too much, and then you don’t really remember it the next day but you know you had a good time. That’s the kind of friends that we are, I think.”
Other vampires in town may not be getting in on the good times action, however. There are still (a few) humans left in Mystic Falls, and according to Paul Wesley, Stefan may have more to worry about than flashbacks.
Tonight’s episode also features a bonding moment between Elena and Matt. Should Stefan consider Matt a threat to the show’s central love triangle? “I think he absolutely should be a threat,” Wesley says. “I think there’s a level of simplicity to Matt. He’s a good, uncomplicated kind of guy. At the end of the day, Stefan and Damon both bring a huge bag of complication and things don’t go very well when Damon and Stefan are around. So I do believe that Elena should have some sort of a relationship with someone who is not supernatural. I think for sure that’s a threatening thing, to a degree.”

Zap2it spoke with Paul Wesley about what’s coming up for Stefan in the next few episodes, including his relationships with Elena and Damon and his blood addiction issues. On the brothers’ view of their romantic situation:
“I think they’ve come to this silent understanding of the fact that they both are in love with the same girl,” Paul laughs. “They just allow it. To be honest, it’s almost like Stefan allowed Damon to step in. I mean, that was Stefan’s girl, and now Damon is suddenly a real factor, he’s really in the picture.”
And why he likes playing the Ripper:
“I really just enjoy [Ripper Stefan] a lot more. You play a vampire on screen, and when you have to play a good vampire, you have to fight your nature. Good Stefan doesn’t feel as natural in terms of what I want to be doing on screen, and what I want to be saying. I feel a little stifled, myself, whenever he’s resisting the urge to do vampiresque things.”

Who can resist a photo booth? Not the Vampire Diaries cast members who went to PaleyFest, from the looks of it! Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, Matt Davis, Candice Accola and Kat Graham all posed for pictures during PaleyFest. Kat Graham is sitting pretty in hers, but some of her castmates (*cough*IanPaulCandice*cough*) get pretty silly for their pictures in the TV Guide Magazine Photo Booth.
