Julie Plec Teases What To Expect When #TVDS3 Returns + More Best of 2011 Lists TV Line caught up with Julie Plec yesterday for a tidbit or two about what’s to come when Vampire Diaries returns on January 5th. Seems as though Stefan will be keeping busy in his mission to outwit/outplay Klaus and some people aren’t terribly happy about it. And as for other “tensions”:

“When Elena and Damon finally have the opportunity to confront [Stefan] about his recent actions, his response makes Damon think twice about acting on his feelings for Elena.”

More Best of 2011 Lists::

The results of E!Online’s Top TV Drama of 2011 poll are in and Vampire Diaries lands at #3 on the list.
Klaus comes in at #2 on BuddyTV’s Best New Characters of 2011: “A perfect villain.”
BuddyTV also name-checks The Vampire Diaries as having the “Best Love Polygon” in their Best Relationships of 2011 list.

Julie Plec it exaggerates Forwood. There is too much Forwood in 3rd Season There is too much especially Caroline. JP must always popular with land relationship, or a popular Chrakter exaggerate until it gets boring. What about Jeremy, Bonnie, Alaliric, Matt? I think Caroline was to Klaus, Damon, Elena and Stefan, the third most watched Chrakter in Season JP should be finite Chrakter their other needs.

I refuse to jump to conclusions over one interview from Julie Plec. The show has a lot of twists and turns ….. and the chemistry between Damon and Elena is undeniable. Of course so is the chemistry between Katherine and Damon… :)

Patience is a Virtue …….

Every time Damon and Elena start to get a lil close, Stefan comes in and changes EVERYONES mind! bah! Jan 5 needs to get here soon!

I think Damon will finally realize that he can´t have both: a good reationship with his brother AND Elena. And deep inside he knows that Stefan & Elena are still in love.
He´ll make the right decision.

I knew Delena happening would never be so easy.
Like I’ve said before, I think Stefan needs to be back and in control around Elena before it can ever happen. Elena has to choose Damon OVER Stefan, not Damon because Stefan is off on a revenge bender or otherwise. It wouldn’t be fair if happened any other way.
On the other hand, I hope Damon doesn’t just suddenly move on. That’s not in his character and would be wrong.

Maybe this will be the season where Damon can move on and find love with someone who will actually love him back. I can always hope, I suppose.

Since Andie got killed in episode one, Damon hasn’t had a woman in his life at all this season :(

I’m sure the producers can now find enough drama to make Stelena watchable without torturing Damon all the time.

Stefan with Elena, Damon with Elena, Stefan with Katherine, Damon with Katherine, Stefan with Damon, Elena with Katherine, Klaus with Elena, Stefan with Klaus, Stefan with Rebekah, Elijah with Elena, or how about… A few of those pairings were meant in jest, just to point out that we’ll never be able to guess who’s going to go with whom, and whoever DOES go with whom will probably change along the way. I know who I’D like to go with whom, but I’m just going to sit back, let the chips fall where they may, and then smile or cry. Isn’t this fun? Can’t wait for January 5th!

Okay a new interview said that Damon is going to find out that Stefan only ruined their plans to save his brother’s life, which gives Damon something new to contend with. I think THAT’s the thing that makes Damon reconsider – it’ll jolt him into realizing that Stefan is still in there somewhere, and he can’t take Elena away when noble Stefan still exists deep down. He’ll still love her – somehow I think he’ll be pulling away from Elena when she pulls closer because of this. Always at odds – damn this show for being so complex (awesome).

New Julie Plec interview with Carina at Zap2it:

Don’t think Damon will be rethinking his love for Elena and Elena will definitely be falling for Damon, but he is not ready to let his baby bro go. Apparently Elena is moving on with her life without Stefan. Looks like things will just get even more complicated. Lots of Zigging & Zagging … Twists & Turns… Ups & Downs…… and this show just keeps getting better and better……. and here come more of the Original family.. Can’t wait for January 5th. The hiatus is so painful.

Delena fans need there time too. Elena and damon need their chance – their hot chemistry – their sexual tension – all of it. so all the non damon and elena fans need to realize it’s all going to come to a head with those two whether you want it to or not. And i say that with all due respect.
Nianfan

Agree!! I want Stefan to be back & Elena make a wise decision! Fair & right for both the brothers.
Nianfan

I heart you and I agree. It’s painful to keep my mouth shut to that comment above. *^%£??^#}!! close-minded *^##!

This is the perfect time for Damon to make a move on Elena. If he did, at this point she probably wouldn’t say no to him. Please go away Stefan… No offence haha

i agree….I think i have waited enough…the third year….and still nothing…come on…a real kiss…is that too much to ask???? :))

Hmmmm…. if you consider where each of the character are at this point, I think that if anyone thinks Stefan is going to be running back into Elena’s arms, they are wrong.

1. Elena has moved on with her life. She wasn’t going to love the memory of who she thought Stefan was forever. As it turns out, she never really knew him….at all. He was less than forthcoming about himself….basically, Elena has had to deal with each bout of info regarding Stefan as it’s come up.

2. Stefan made his choice at the end of Homecoming. Instead of running back to Elena’s arms, he kidnapped the coffins (LOL) and threw the gauntlet down to Klaus…..the same Klaus who was leaving with his resurrected family. (After Klaus de-daggered them of course).

3. Damon WAS NOT putting any moves on Elena. He wasn’t treating her any different than he always had. The difference was in how Elena was reacting to him. Damon told Elena he wanted to bring Stefan back from the brink, but in turn, he wanted Elena to remember how she felt while Stefan was gone.

If we take that into account, the above from JP could mean a variety of things. Since Damon hasn’t acted on his feelings for Elena, at all, and never intended to until Stefan came back, I’m wondering if what Stefan tells Damon makes him change his mind. One thing I love about this show, it’s all about choices. Stefan has had ample opportunity to come back to Elena all on his own. I kinda think that it’s important that even though Stefan was compelled to turn of his emotions, he was able to turn them back on when he felt Damon was about to die. However, Elena, the girl he loved, wasn’t able to get through to him, at all. And then of course, there’s the the article regarding all of this from Corina over at Zap2It….GP posted it below….if you haven’t read it, you should:)

I understand and “no” it is not to much to ask for a very hot sexual steamy kiss between Damon and Elena instead of just a “death bed kissy thingy”. :)

It will be well worth the wait….. :)
