Paul Wesley talks about the Traumas and the Loving life of Stefan in Season 5

SPOILER ALERT

Stefan (Paul Wesley) can not spend all the season 5 perpetually drowning at the bottom of the river, right? But how is the Stefan coming out? How will this terrible experience change his perspective of people that exist in his life? Paul talked to ETonline about the possible changes for Stelena and Steroline in this new season.

- Stefan's Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

When Stefan comes out of that river, not everything will be perfect. Paul described the experience of "infinite torture" for Stefan and said: "he is really crazy. Almost as if he had post-traumatic stress disorder." But there is one thing that this experience has given to him, and is a time to think about his life--and in the people who are in it.

"You will discover that the only way that can support himself is to recreate hallucinations that are revealing," said Paul. "Somehow, he is having epiphanies back down." Epiphany 1 on Stefan: should stop going to Highschool.

- Platonic Stelena

Some hallucination about Stelena? According to Paul, Stefan and Elena (Nina Dobrev) are in the area of friends now, and their relationship will be so different from everything we've seen so far.

"I want fans to see this new version of their relationship because I believe that it was becoming a bit unreal" said Paul. "They came to a situation very platonic towards the end of season 3, and to be honest, I don't see it as a triangle anymore. In my eyes, they have become friends, so you have something that's completely strange - like being at the bottom of a river, drowning over and over again. It is good because it adds another variable that can mix things and perhaps leads to a new romance."

- Hope for Steroline

Like the other important woman in his life - his best friend Caroline (Candice Accola) - is there any chance that his feelings for her also change in season 5?

"So far everything has been really platonic between them, but again, some circumstances will make Stefan to see in her a new light," said Paul. "I don't know how she will feel for him."

What is this "new light" Stefan will look on Caroline? That sounds pretty promising to us. And since the current boyfriend of Caroline recently gave the news that won't go to college with her by the voice message that left her, wonder if Caroline will not begin to search company somewhere else.
