Ian Somerhalder: Silas is like Damon in the First Season

5 New Faces of Season 5

SPOILER ALERT

When The Vampire Diaries returns for its fifth season on October 3, fans may feel as if they were watching a new series: Elena is officially with Damon, and she and Caroline are now students of the nearby University of Whitmore. Damon is living with Jeremy, who is the only one that knows that Bonnie died after resurrecting him. And Stefan, the Doppelgänger of Silas, was trapped underwater surely drowning over and over again. "You have all these strange dreams and visions", says Paul Wesley, "and when you leave, will suffer a kind of postrauatico stress disorder."

All these changesare new, and beautiful, expensive that they will join our favorites in Mystic Falls. We asked the Executive producers Julie Plec and Caroline Dries so to submit them to us.

Silas (Paul Wesley)

The face is familiar, but is a completely different role for Wesley, who now plays an immortal 2000-year-old who quickly returns to Mystic Falls. "The fun of Silas is that it is very similar to the first season Damon since plot something but no one can find out that it is," says executive producer Julie Plec. "Damon in particular, is becoming mad because the roles are reversed. Do if you remember the first season, Stefan was always telling him to Damon ' what frames?' and Damon was like, 'That is something that only I know me and you...'. Silas is using the same tricks that Damon, it touches to Damon to get to the bottom of what you want to Silas, what you are doing to get it, how it will affect them all, and finally, how to stop it." Wesley is agreed that Silas is fun: "Silas definitely sees Damon as someone who is below her, at all levels - experience, knowledge." Damon has always been the pusher that surpasses all others. So it's fun, "says Wesley. "I'm taking the rematch for the languid and sad Stefan for five years."

Aaron (Shaun Sipos)

As says the Executive producer Caroline Dries, "girls are going to College, and not only to study and learn. They go for the guys." They know the human student Jesse in the premiere. "It starts being just someone who finds to our dear Caroline Forbes very interesting and attractive. "And she, of course, remains faithful to Tyler, who still has not appeared in the University," Plec says. "She tries to keep him at Bay without hurting their feelings, but is very sweet, ready and tempting." Furthermore, it is also something more: "as we come to know him, opens the doors to a great mystery that is taking place at the University," said Dries. 'It is rooted in the supernatural mythology of there."

Nadia (Olga Fonda)

The mysterious Czech beauty follows Matt home after his torrid romance of summer abroad with Rebekah at the premiere of the season. "Who is, is the great mystery. Seems to be just some momentary they left behind in their European Tourbillon, but when it appears, it makes clear that there's more in it than it seems at first glance, "Plec says. "Between she and Silas, definitely have our hands full of people causing trouble in Mystic Falls. "Advance extra:" people should expect everything with Matt this season, but we cannot say anything about it ", Plec says."Matt has got a good plot this year. Starts with a sexy and intense event in Prague, and from there continued. "Our small Matty has had a good summer."

Dr. Wes Maxfield (Rick Cosnett)

You will remember that Whitmore University is where Bonnie's grandmother taught, as well as Professor Shane. So you can understand why Elena and Caroline might think this bright, young and sexy Professor of Microbiology has something to hide when they manage to reach their advanced class trying to solve a mystery in episode 2, and it, in the words of Plec, "their attention instantly because they do not belong, the helplessness and take them."

Tessa (Janina Gavankar)

"' Like Nadia, reach our world still clearly not who seems to be," says Plec's exotic beauty that makes her first appearance in episode 3. She comes to Mystic Falls in order to rekindle an old love. "Part of the mystery is to find out who he is, he wants to, and why he wants it," Plec says.

The CW Fall Preview

Season 5: Promotional Images of the Cast

Candice Accola on Caroline and Jesse

The Vampire Diaries Season 5 premiere is inching ever closer, and though things in Mystic Falls promise to be as crazy as ever, Candice Accola says Caroline and Elena (Nina Dobrev) are just looking for some normal. Wetpaint Entertainment spoke with the newly engaged actress while she was in hair and makeup for a shoot with Ford, and she explained why the vamps are attempting to leave the supernatural behind as they head to Whitmore College.

Can you tell us what you’re doing with Ford?

Ford is partnering up and helping CW launch and kick off on their series and season premieres. And by doing that they’ve enlisted agents to drive around their own Ford Fiesta, a 2014 Ford Fiesta, and go on these really exciting, fun adventures that they’re calling missions. And they get to go behind the scenes of their favorite CW shows to showcase their passion and their talent.

Will we see Caroline driving a Fiesta at college?

You know how Caroline loves her Ford Fiesta. I don’t think we’ve seen Caroline driving in college quite yet, but she’s definitely a Ford girl.

Congratulations on your engagement [to The Fray’s Joe King].

Thank you! Thanks so much.

So do you have a Pinterest board full of ideas?

Oh, yes. I’ve slipped down that slippery slope.

Have you started planning?

Kind of. By planning, just coming up with impractical ideas, then yes, I’ve been planning a lot.

So you don’t have a date set?

Between balancing me in Atlanta, him on the road or living in Denver, and then us working all over the place, we’re just focusing on seeing each other as much as we can.

Between the new guy Jesse, Tyler, and Klaus, Caroline basically has a different guy every day of the week. What can you tell us about Caroline and Jesse?

Caroline and Jesse. Jesse is a boy at college that Caroline and Elena meet and he happens to be very good looking, which is weird for The CW. They’re trying something new this year.




That’s it?

He’s another student at Whitmore College, where the girls are going, and so there’s a budding friendship that a lot of people have speculated on potentially being more than that. But it’s still early in the series.

Will Jesse and some of the other newcomers be savvy to the vampire world or will they be completely in the dark?

Right now as we kick off into Season 5 of The Vampire Diaries, with the girls going to college, it actually has a really beautiful start, where they’re really just focused on being college freshman. And they’re really just looking for that human experience of what it means to go to college for the first time. And so there’s a really beautiful tone of that in the season opener. So, obviously with other storylines, we’re going to keep on — there’s still supernatural storylines going on within the series. As far as Caroline and Elena are concerned, they’re really just focusing on having a human experience. And so those that are surrounding them as well — that’s kind of the world that they’re in now. They’re running away from the supernatural world.

Catch the Season 5 premiere of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday, October 3, 2013, at 8 pm ET on The CW.

Stelena has still a chance?

Question: I’m so excited about season 5 of The Vampire Diaries! In the new promo, there was moment where it seemed like Stefan was flirting with Katherine. Now that Elena is with Damon, does this mean that Stefan has his eyes on Katherine? —Rashad
Ausiello: Actually, if you caught the finale, it means Silas has eyes for Katherine. But trust me when I say, his intentions with the now-human rabble-rouser are far from amorous.

More Vampire Diaries details on Stefan and Elena, please! Last week's spoiler got me so excited! — Kaitlin
ADAM: More good news for Team Stefan! Paul Wesley recently said that he believes that Stefan will never truly get over Elena. "That love has to always exist," he says. So how will they keep the triangle alive now that Damon and Elena are so happily in love? Look for an early-season reveal that suggests that Elena and Stefan will forever be linked.
