JULIE PLEC TALKS DAMON and ELENA’S TENSION & STEFAN VS. MYSTIC FALLS

Are you salivating for a taste of what The Vampire Diaries will be serving up when it returns from hiatus on January 5? If so, head over to Zap2it: they’re serving up an interview with Julie Plec. On Damon and Elena:

“When we come back in Episode 10, Elena and Damon are finding themselves in these moments where the romantic tension is a little bit deeper and the physical tension is a little bit hotter . . . They have to work together against Klaus, so they keep finding themselves in these moments that they’re now both free to act on, without guilt.”

And on Klaus’s new strategy:

“[Mayor Lockwood] says, ‘Klaus has offered to leave me, my family, and this town alone if you can get your brother to behave.’ So we start to see this manipulation that Klaus has in the town of Mystic Falls, and now that Stefan’s pushing back, Klaus is able to step forward and say, ‘Hey, I’m not here to cause a problem! Stefan Salvatore is the problem.’”
