"I just want to make out with her eventually," Somerhalder jokes.Watch the video here.
Damon finally told Elena he loved her, but he soon compelled her to forget, making it not count, Somerhalder says.
"The love Damon has for Katherine and Elena has gotten him into exorbitant amounts of trouble and I think he's probably thinking ... 'I've kind of learned my lesson, I'm going to build a bit of a wall, '" Somerhalder tells TVGuide
Regardless, it's undeniable that Damon has made quite the transformation throughout the series, and has developed, shall we say, feelings. The softer side is Somerhalder's biggest challenge.
"It's tough because there has to be truth and there's a lot of real pain buried in that humor," he says. "The maniacal killer in him is starting to wane by virtue of the fact all the stakes have been raised because he cares about people now."
In the present, Stefan has found a temporary fix for his blood addiction, as Elena (Nina Dobrev) has been slowly feeding him her own to build up his tolerance and quell his cravings. Back in 1864, however, Stefan hadn't yet learned the careful control that rules his life now.Read the full interview here.
Grinning as he always does when he's talking about Stefan's dark past, Wesley says, "We'll get some blood addiction going in the 1860s. It's awesome. It's a drug. He's a drug addict. I get to play a drug addict, which I love. I'm going back to his days of usage, heavy usage." He laughs. "When I'm in my lustful state, it's so much fun. I felt like I got to play a role that I'd never played before. I felt like I was doing something different. I just love it, and I hope it comes out the way that I envisioned."
Stefan isn't the only one with secrets in his past. When Stefan and Elena, newly reunited, decide to get out of Mystic Falls, they get more than they'd bargained for. "We take a romantic weekend that goes awry," Wesley says. "Come on. How can it not? They need a break from all the chaos, and they just want to be a normal couple that goes on a nice little vacation. Of course, danger is pursuing them."
Seriously... when isn't danger pursuing Elena?
"There are some unexpected surprises at this lake house," he says. The place belongs to Grayson and Miranda Gilbert, Elena's deceased adoptive parents -- so there's plenty of history lurking.
Romance-wise, Michael tells us, "Me and Candice are really good friends, we're close, we have a blast on the show. And this season has been really fun because we have a lot of scenes together, and it's just joke after joke after joke. And it's good whenever—working with her is just so easy, and she's so talented and I just like the chemistry we have on screen." So what was it like when Tyler kisses Caroline this week? Trevino tells us it was a bit like kissing his little sister and that, "This kiss—you can tell by in the teasers of that episode that airs this week, it's not the type of romantic, passionate, long, soap opera kind of kiss, Tyler is just overcome with emotion and he just goes in for it. So it's funny how the end of that scene plays out and it's good, it's a good awkwardness."
As for the coming conflict between the werewolves and vampires, "The truth comes out is really all I can say. The truth finally comes out. It's all put out there once this information comes out...and some relationships change." Ruh-roh. We're sensing that there might be a schism coming between Tyler and Team Salvatore, meaning all the people who have kept Stefan and Damon's secret and collaborated with them, including Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Bonnie (Katerina Graham).
For that matter, the adorable Caroline-Tyler friendship might not be long for this world. Trevino tells us, that when the truth comes out, "There's going to be some conflict and some relationships kind of often end after that."
