Vampire Diaries - Short Interview With Exec. Producer Julie Plec

Thanks to Charlie for the following:

The Vampire Diaries took a break from Mystic Falls, Virginia to visit Chicago fans at this year's C2E2. And while castmembers Candice Accola (who plays Caroline Forbes) and Michael Trevino (who plays Tyler Lockwood) wowed attendees with stories from the set, executive producer Julie Plec dropped some hints on what audiences can expect when the show returns from hiatus on April 7.

"We like to tell our season in chapters," explained Plec. "We had the werewolf chapter and the Rose/Elijah chapter. And we are coming on a collision course right now in the Klaus chapter and the sacrifice to break the 'Curse of the Sun and the Moon.' Everything that we start up when we get back off hiatus is all about that. Where is Klaus? Does he know about Elena? What is Isobel doing back in town? Is this sacrifice ritual going to happen? Are we going to be able to get ourselves out of it? Will the doppelganger die? Will a werewolf die? Who will the werewolf be? Who will the vampire be? There's so much that's coming that it's just one thing on the next on the next.

"We've got another decade dance coming up," continued the showrunner. "We're dabbling in the '60s this time around and then we've got another flashback episode before the season's out and another full moon episode. And with full moons come werewolves."

And just when you thought the series couldn't get any darker, huh? Well, think again.

"Yes, if it feels as if there's been a tonal shift," noted Plec. "We've got these Originals... these Old World characters who are nearly impossible to defeat. Klaus was the most terrifying and feared vampire in the history of time and for him to come in and like, do a karaoke number? We would not be living up to the potential of Klaus. We try not to do anything to be gratuitous or just to have blood for the sake of blood or gore for the sake of gore. But we do like to get bloody and we like to get dirty. And people are always going to die. People that you love are always going to die because the situation is life and death. The stakes are that high. And it's our job as storytellers to continue to deliver on that so you guys don't feel like we've gone stale."
