XXTV 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.

    I love his way with words…I’m going to miss that a lot if Elijah leaves

  • BAND

    THANK THE LORD!!! ELIJAH IS STAYING!!! I was so worried about how his new show would effect his TVD schedule, but by the grace of God himself, the shows are filmed during different seasons.

    *I DO BELIEVE IN GOD*

    IS he aware of the ‘Original’s spin-off’ show now? Oh please why can’t it be a reality?? I suppose it’s plausible enough. When I watched Nate Buzolic’s vlog he said something about making a ‘vamp cops’ show with Jo Mo. Was that for real? Why can’t they team up to make an Original’s show?!

    Daniel Gillies for regular on season 4! Because he deserves it!

  • Ginie

    So happy about the last lines of this article.

  • Stevie1421

    Although I understand why Elijah would be pissed at Elena I hope he forgives her. Their friendship was my favorite part of season 2, which so far is my favorite season. I hope the writers don’t ruin that, the way they seem to be ruining all our favorite characters this season.

  • wednesday75

    Totally agree with everyone. I don’t think Kevin & Julie had any idea what Elijah would become when they hired Daniel! Beyond amazing is all I can say. I hope Daniel knows what a devoted following he has. I also hope that they decide to keep him now that we know he could do both shows. We could have the best of both worlds with him as Elijah and as the doctor on his new show. I had read in previous articles how much Daniel loved TVD and wanted to stay, well I think this pretty much confirms it! Keep him the rest of the season and I agree with Elodie, sign him for a series regular next season, he absolutely deserves it. He is my favorite character!

    omg omg i love elijah!

  • Georgia_Peach

    I vote for more Elijah, Klaus, Rebekah, Kol and Finn. Give me a spin off show, or keep them on TVD.  Either way, I’m happy!  Nothing will ever stop Elijah from rocking my world.  He is so yummy!  But then again, Klaus is just so entertaining and now he fancies Caroline.  Please Julie and Kevin, save the Originals from their evil Mommy.   Originals forever!

    I don’t know if they have posed this anywhere yet, but I thought I would share this with everyone. Another really great interview with Daniel & it looks like he is aware of how much we love him! Yea! By the way, this is great site that post good updates of TVD & other CW shows as well if you want to add it to your favs.

    What, you mean ELijah coming back didnt already do it? lol

  • Smoulderhalder

    I hope Elijah is here to stay! I love how Daniel put more and more into the role as each episode progressed in S2. He’s so good he overshadowed Klaus’s debut for me. I like that Klaus is a psycho, good at being a villain, but I wouldn’t mind if he died instead of Elijah.  I am not confident that Elijah is safe until I see future episodes.

  • Infidelz

    Yeah, but he’s denying there’s any Elijah/Elena chemistry.  That goes against everything he’s said in past interviews.  It’s strange and seems off.  Not happy at all with that interview.  Didn’t sound like the DG of past interviews.

  • night magic

    any episode with Elijah in it is fantastic !! i hope he never leaves!!!! i was so excited when he came back !!!!

  • wednesday75

    I agree with you on his denying the Elijah/Elena chemistry. This one didn’t sound like his past interviews, but it may have alot to do with what happened in this past episode and how she betrayed him & how things are going to change for the characters if Lord willing they keep him on. I guess Daniel might know a little more than he wants to let on about the direction of the story & got his hopes up as well as some of us that might have wanted to see what could have happened along those lines, I don’t know. I did enjoy their flirty relationship, but after Elena’s actions of late to everyone, no one can really trust her. Like Rebekah said to Caroline you never know when she is going to stab you in the back. I don’t care what they do with Elena as long as they keep Elijah! LOL=)

  • Elena Winchester

    I’m so glad Daniel’s other show doesn’t film while TVD films. Elijah forever!!!

  • http://twitter.com/_ilisek ilisek

    RIGHT? Reading his interviews really enriched my perception of the show and my respect for him as an actor has grown immensely. He really gets inside a 1000-year-old being’s consciousness, and tries to think like an immortal and how they would view humanity: he can view them as food, but chooses to admire and be fascinated by mortals instead.

  • VirusatGunpoint

    And nothing would drive us away (fans) from you..lol

  • DianaPauline

    Elijah is one of the few characters on TVD who is truly a grown up.  No, I’m not going to say who I think the other ones are.  Sometimes my mind changes on who they are from week to week! I think of Elijah as everybody’s “big brother” - a very sexy big brother! Daniel Gillies rules!

  • Nikki

    Ok, but in last night’s episode he left Elena a goodbye note….so he’s leaving Town!!  This man is seriously trying to kill me….ton of interviews  then poof!  Gone for months on end..just like last year…glad his character wasn’t killed off though so he can keep popping up in Mystic Falls whenever he wants : )
