Zap2It‘s Carina MacKenzie caught up with Vampire Diaries’ Executive Producer Julie Plec to discuss dark pasts, relationship drama, and painful character development on Vampire Diaries – and don’t expect things to get any easier over the next few episodes. First up, Plec discusses Damon’s rocky road to better man-ness, learning more about who Stefan used to be, and why it’s important to find a balance for Elena.
“Nina’s so good!” she says. “The non-supernatural heroine in a show like this is hard to write. You want her to be strong-willed and you want her to be fierce, but also, by definition of being at the center of it all, she’s often the damsel in distress. Trying to find the balance between putting her in jeopardy and also letting her be badass is something we deal with every week. With ‘Rose,’ I loved that shot where she kicks the chair and she grabs the chair leg and she holds it up, because it was so ‘Buffy.’ It’s such a badass, ‘Buffy’ moment, and that really embodies Elena.”

As for the Caroline/Tyler/Matt triangle (which doesn’t seem to be much of a triangle after the events of Daddy Issues), Plec stresses that it’s important to remember that Tyler has also been wronged and is confused about who he is and who he can trust.
Plec assures us that while Tyler definitely screwed up when he hesitated to take Caroline’s side in the vampires vs. wolves showdown, he’s not all bad. “You have to remember that he’s also a victim,” she says. “For a guy not used to understanding his own emotions — between the way he was raised and the relationship with his dad and just being kind of a macho testosterone-driven dude — he’s confused. He’s kind of lost. It’s all part of his journey.”
