Vampire Diaries: Interviews with spoilers

butterflyRead two interviews, one with Paul (Stefan) and one with Ian (Damon). Interesting stuff.
Paul Wesley Interview
Excerpts I found most intriguing:
"I'm so excited," Wesley tells us, his eyes lighting up. "We have a flashback, and Stefan is very Damon-esque. He's lost; he doesn't know what to do with himself. He's living in guilt, so he's just sinful, and lustful, and very Damon-like -- times ten. It's kind of fantastic."
Sounds interesting.
That's not to say that Stefan and Elena's relationship won't suffer a few serious blows. "It's going to piss me off that she's martyring herself. I mean, how would you feel? Obviously you'd be livid," Wesley says. "The relationship is sort of in ruins because of the prevailing circumstances." He shakes his head, smiling wryly. "They're both so noble. They want to martyr themselves all the time. What a sweet couple. What selfless individuals. I say that sarcastically."
Ha!
And apparently Elena and Stefan are going to have that 'so, you're living forever and I'm not' talk.
Ian Somerhalder Interview
Somerhalder says we're likely to see Damon attempt to be more closed off, like he was when we first met him in the first season. "He is trying to be flippant, he is trying to be as deflective as he can while enjoying himself, and seducing women and compelling journalists and getting his way, kind of being a dick in many ways," he says. In other words, he's trying to be someone Elena doesn't necessarily want to be around.
One problem -- try as he might to be the selfish, reckless man he once was, his attachment to her just won't let him cross that line. "At the end of the day, as opposed to him and his love for Katherine being the motive, it's him and his love and protection mode for Elena as well. It's not just to win. It's not just to slay everybody."
A+, exactly, yes. I had been thinking just along those lines.
"As much of a dick as he is to her, and as many problems as he actually causes her, she inexorably, always, at the end of the day, feels for him and expresses that feeling and sort of love, in a way," Somerhalder says. "He always, always will deflect, and she tries to break down that barrier, not with much success, much to her chagrin, but she does attempt to."
After all, Damon isn't the only one in that non-relationship who is vulnerable. It's become increasingly clear that Elena's guard is up, too. For now. "She's starting to chip away at his wall, and in the same sense, he's starting to chip away at her wall," he tells us.
