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.

Stefan will be a bit crazy on this season

SPOILER ALERT

Paul Wesley has played with various incarnations of his character, since the sensitive Stefan Ripper Stefan and several intermediate shades. But in the beginning of season 5, Wesley confronts his greatest challenge when refearing to interpret two characters - a Stefan destroyed physically and his immortal and manipulative Silas doppelganger.

At the end of last season, Stefan was going city to bury what he believed was the body of Silas while also gets a fresh start away from Mystic Falls and the love of his life, Elena, who is now dating his brother Damon. However, his game plan went suddenly wrong when Silas transformed into a "shadow self" - a doppelganger - locked him in a coffin and throws it at the bottom of the river.

"Stefan is really will be fucking head when you exit the quarry", says Wesley to TVGuide.com in the video below. "You had all these experiences of torture and so now does not react in the same way as before and is not so malleable. It is definitely a different man".

Until Stefan returns to Mystic Falls, will make it Silas. His friends and his brother won't know immediately that it is not he. But not happened long before that Damon and Jeremy feel that something happens - especially when this "new" Stefan is completely different, much more cocky.

"Silas has much pain and anger, but is masked," says Wesley. "[Not be] intimidated by anything and the world is your playground." It is 2,000 years old and lies to itself as supremely more interesting and sophisticated. It does not feed people, thinks that it is crude and primitive so it manipulates people to cut and shed his blood and then you drink it, it is a bit posh."

As Stefan suffers and Silas wreaks havoc, Elena with Stefan connection is stronger than ever, giving you a deep feeling that something is very wrong. "When these in love with someone, even if in your life don't have that connection with them, the love remains, whether romantic or not". Says Nina Dobrev. "When she learns what has happened will not be easy for it".

Ultimately, Elena, Damon and company will realize that who thought what Stefan is actually Silas, while at the same time Stefan you will finally leave his perpetual state of suffocation. As a thesis, two versions continue to coexist, Wesley interpreted the two characters until the bad boy of the season defeated - at least that is not. While fans may recall that the last villain epic, Klaus, was originally supposed to die in season 2. How it became a favorite of the fans, his character remained in the series and in last instance he earned his own spin.off. What happens if Wesley received the same adoration during his time as Silas?. The Executive producer Julie Plec tells us there is always a backup plan.

"He is a villain and at some point the bad boy needs to be treated and overcome, no matter how good that are. So we'll see." Plec says.
