Ask Ausiello: Spoilers for The Vampire Diaries
I love Michael Ausiello. He is a huge fan boy of all kinds of
fandoms. He was at TV Guide, but now is Founder & Editor In Chief
of TV-Line. Source
Question: Got any news about Caroline’s storyline on The Vampire Diaries? -Charlotte
Ausiello: She’s turning 18, and for her birthday the show’s writers are giving her the
second episode back, airing Jan. 12! “It’s a big [one] for Caroline,” confirms showrunner
Julie Plec of the installment. “It’s emotional. It’s scary. It’s very, very, very powerful.” But the
episode isn’t all about Candice Accola’s vamp. “It’s a big episode for the friends - for Elena
and Matt and Bonnie and Caroline,” Plec adds. “It’s a big episode for Tyler and Caroline’s
relationship. It’s a massive episode for Stefan and Elena, and Stefan’s pissing contest with
Klaus and the lengths he is willing to go to make his point, not giving a damn about anyone
or anything. It’s a big episode for Damon’s continued evolution as villain to hero. It’s just a
nice episode all around.”
Question: The wait for new Vampire Diaries episodes is maddening. Please give us some
Delenda scoop to tide us over? -Gabi
Ausiello: Stefan’s seeming betrayal of Damon and Elena leaves the pair “fraught with sexual
and romantic tension and very, very, very angry at Stefan,” reveals Plec. “It leaves them thrown
together to defend themselves against whatever Klaus’ next move is going to be. It leads to a
fairly interesting showdown between Damon and Stefan in which Damon literally tries to beat
the answer out of Stefan as to why Stefan betrayed him and ruined his plan.”
Question: How about you give me the Vampire Diaries scoop I so desperately need? -Elizabeth
Ausiello: We definitely haven’t seen the last of badass Original sister Rebekah, Plec tell us.
But don’t expect a happy reunion when someone finally takes that dagger out of her. “She let
herself get emotionally duped by Elena, and Elena literally stabbed her in the back,” explains
Plec. Rebekah’s anger at Elena will be “a big problem for Klaus, who doesn’t want anything
to happen to [Elena], and for Elena herself, who pulled the ultimate mean girl back stab and
is going to have to pay the price for that.” Rebekah will also be none too pleased with Klaus
for lying to her about their mother’s death. “She’s just mad period,” says Plec with a laugh, “all around.”
