The Originals - Spoiler From EW - 13th September 2013

Your Originals photo made me scream. Were you on set? PLEASE give me scoop!

When we go back to New Orleans, Joseph Morgan reveals that Klaus is still experiencing “mixed feelings about the fatherhood thing.” “It’s a difficult one because as we know, he values family very highly … he has a weird way of being protective over them. And I think he’s [also] still coming to terms that it’s all happening and all still sinking in for him.” But ready or not, here it comes. And on the day I visited the HOTlanta set, they were filming one particular scene that had to do with the baby’s impending arrival. But I can’t say much more than that at the moment.

Can you tell me whether or not I can still expect scenes between Vampire BFFs Caroline and Stefan? 

I’m sure you can bet on it! But I wouldn’t expect it immediately, since Candice Accola reports that Caroline is quite focused on her new college life as the season begins. “She’s very hung up on her mini-fridge and small appliances she needs for her dorm room that she needs to, like, cook up quesadillas or something,” Accola says with a laugh. “That’s really what’s on her mind, in the forefront. She’s not thinking of anything else. She just wants to go to college with Elena and Bonnie and have Tyler come meet her and that’s it.” Of course, this being TVD, we’re sure other things interrupt the fun…

KLAUS MIKAELSON, THE ORIGINAL VAMPIRE/WEREWOLF HYBRID, RETURNS TO NEW ORLEANS IN THIS SPIN-OFF OF “THE VAMPIRE DIARIES” — Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan), the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, has returned to the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans – the city his family helped build 300 years ago. Determined to help his brother, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) leaves their sister Rebekah (Claire Holt) behind and follows Klaus. Elijah learns that the beautiful and rebellious werewolf Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) – Klaus’ onetime flame – has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie Deveraux (Daniella Pineda). When Sophie reveals some life-changing news, Elijah realizes that the Original family may have been given a second chance at humanity and redemption.

The Vampire Diaries - Interview With Candice Accola

What’s Caroline majoring in?

Caroline is acting as any other college freshman would and is just showing up and hoping she can figure out what she’s going to do with the rest of her life… one kegger at a time.

Will we see some parties?

There is a really fun college party in the season opener. So we get to see the girls go out for their official college experience and go to their first college party.

We hear she has a nemesis in the new professor. Can you talk about that?

Ooh, not really, but that sounds very exciting. We are going to see a new professor, and I know there’s been some people thinking that this professor is anything like Professor Shane. And it’s not. This is a completely different college professor, and we’re going to learn more about him as the season goes on.

It doesn’t sound like he has much in common with Alaric, either.

No, he’s definitely not very similar to Alaric. They both have light-colored hair, but this college professor is nowhere to be seen at the bar. He’s more actually in the classroom.

Damon won’t be knocking back drinks with him?

No, I don’t think Damon and him are going to throw back any whiskeys.

Caroline is very close with Stefan. Will she catch on that there’s something up with him?

Caroline and Stefan fans will see some great opportunities for them to have scenes together this year. Not right when we kick off in the season, because Caroline is really focused on being at school, but as the series goes on, we’ll see some great moments.

How does Bonnie figure into the girls’ college experience?

As far as Caroline and Elena know, Bonnie’s alive and well and has been busy with her family. So the girls really don’t know anything. So, they’re just waiting for Bonnie to show up at school.

Is there any quintessential college experience Caroline has that you’re really excited for viewers to see?

Oh, I think the moving day is really great. The season premiere. I just recently flew down to Orlando with my parents and we all moved my little brother into his dorm for his freshman year of school. And so we were really excited, and it was really reminiscent of when we were filming the first episode. And I never went to college, so it was really great to live through that experience through him and then to work many years after I should’ve graduated from college. So it was pretty fun.

The Vampire Diaries - Spoiler From TV Line - 10th September 2013

I’m so excited about season 5 of The Vampire Diaries! In the new promo, there was moment where it seemed like Stefan was flirting with Katherine. Now that Elena is with Damon, does this mean that Stefan has his eyes on Katherine?

Actually, if you caught the finale, it means Silas has eyes for Katherine. But trust me when I say, his intentions with the now-human rabble-rouser are far from amorous. 

The Vampire Diaries - Spoiler From TV Guide - 10th September 2013

More Vampire Diaries details on Stefan and Elena, please! Last week's spoiler got me so excited!

More good news for Team Stefan! Paul Wesley recently said that he believes that Stefan will never truly get over Elena. "That love has to always exist," he says. So how will they keep the triangle alive now that Damon and Elena are so happily in love? Look for an early-season reveal that suggests that Elena and Stefan will forever be linked.
