Interview with Julie Plec & Kevin Williamson in the NY Post


PW: What plotline are you excited to see play out this season?

Kevin: The premiere for me was our underhanded way of saying that this is the year we have to deal head on with the relationship between Damon and Elena.

PW: As the people who basically live in these character's minds, I'm curious what your feelings are on the validity of Elena's hatred for Damon. I doubt it. Do you?

Kevin: I think he has such a long road to haul before he can ever be a viable option in her eyes. He’s done so many horrible things – his attack on Jeremy being the worst. I don’t know how you ever get over such a deliberately evil move. It’s going to take a long time for her to get over that. But as Katherine said, hate is the beginning of most love stories. It was no surprise that we ended the episode with Elena saying “I hate him.”


PW: I loved that line.

Kevin: Think about it, it’s romantic comedy 101 – they have to hate each other first, and that will eventually turn itself inside out. But whether or not it’s this season or next season, we’ll have to wait and see.

WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG! >:D

<3<3<3<3

^^Maybe this is just me bringing out my Film Studies Student side, but NOTHING is mistakable in films/shows. EVERYTHING is done for a reason<3

haha In your face Bamon fans who said the "Hate thing" is a BD thing, right? lol:)) so happy

I already knew that they would happen though. Of course Damon and Elena will happen and be awesome! <3

Yay!!! DE WILL Happen!!!!! <3 Love Them!!! <3

D&E <3

I've no words to express my excitement when I first read that!ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE DE WILL HAPPEN AND IT'LL BE COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad they finally talked about DE in an interview they're usually so evasive of the subject and that worried me. I guess that now that we saw the premier and watched that heartbreaking final scene between DE they feel the can finally talk about their plans for DE!!<3 Also at the end I thik Julie Plec said that sometime epic love can grow out of the most unsual relationships or something like that and I'm glad to hear the word epic used for DE instead of SE!! I'm so excited for the rest of the season now because at the pace this show moves it could be any moment that we'll finally get an epic DE kiss..
