‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 5 spoilers: More on Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev’s future

Ready for a little more “Vampire Diaries” scoop courtesy of Julie Plec? As we posted on Sunday, the showrunner spent some time this weekend at the ATX Festival in Austin promoting her hit CW series, and she was more than generous when it comes to sharing some scoop regarding what is ahead for some of the characters. Let’s go through this person-by-person, since we know that there are quite a few characters that you are going to want to hear from in some shape or form.

Damon and Elena – Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev’s characters are going to try to “make it work,” but this in itself is not going to be a particularly easy proposition. Why? They not only have a great deal of baggage and history between them, and there is also an issue in that Silas is out to destroy them both … also they do not even know at the moment that he is Stefan’s doppelganger.

This Klaus and Caroline quote – “Hayley is, by no means, the Cinderella in the Klaus love story. Hayley is a girl who’s pretty tough, fiery, independent … a survivor in her own right who got drunk, had sex and got knocked up. She’s going to have her own journey. She’s not really meant to be a threat to Klaus’ love life.”

Jeremy heads back to school – How is this guy going to really deal with the fact that everyone thought he was dead, and what is he going to say? If we were him, we probably wouldn’t go back to school at all … but to each his own, we guess.
