What have 당신 thought about Rebekah's storyline this season?
I feel really lucky as an actor because I get to go a lot of places with Rebekah. I get to explore her vulnerable side, I get to explore the mean girl/catty side of her and there's that inner conflict about whether she wants to be human 또는 a vampire. I just 사랑 it all and am so grateful to the writers for giving me so much.
I think you've touched on one of the reasons 팬 사랑 her so much: Rebekah struggles with being an eternal but having very human desires. Absolutely. That provides a huge amount of inner turmoil for her because she loves parts of being a vampire -- the power, being able to control situations -- but she also wants to be a real girl and to have those experiences of going to a dance and being loved 의해 a boy. She wants those things, and 당신 really see that in tonight's episode when the dance gets cancelled and Stefan finds a charming way to make up for it. What he does really means a lot to her.
What did 당신 think when Julie Plec told 당신 "Stebekah" would be revisited?
Listen, I 사랑 working with Paul Wesley. He's such a fine actor and such a fine human, so any time our characters get to interact, I'm happy. I'm always a little scared of the Stelena shippers, but I think it's fun. I always enjoyed the Ripper Stefan and I loved the dynamic they had in the 1920's episode. I think it brings out good things in both Stefan and Rebekah.
It has to be exciting for Rebekah to finally have him come to her since she's wanted this for a long time.
It's definitely exciting for her -- Rebekah loves to get her way, so having Stefan come to her was definitely fun for her. But deep down she knows whatever is going on right now is a mutually beneficial relationship -- they're hooking up, having fun, but they have a common goal. She's been in Mystic Falls for a while, she knows what's going on. We'll see if it really leads anywhere, but I think the 팬 have liked it.
Sounds like Claire Holt might be a Rebekah/Matt 'shipper at heart...
[laughs] I'm a Rebekah anyone shipper. I'll hook up with anyone in Mystic Falls, because, I don't know if you've seen those guys, but they're pretty gorgeous. Listen, I like the idea of her and Matt -- I think it would have given her a 더 많이 human experience, but she tried to kill him, so I'm not sure that's going to happen any time soon. I'd like to have someone 사랑 her. I think it's important.
A moment 이전 당신 referenced the 팬 -- you've now been a part of TV's two most social shows (TVD and Pretty Little Liars). What's it been like to have such an in-depth relationship with your fans?
It's been amazing. I never had any concept of it before because I worked in Australia and the Twitter world didn't exist. Being on those shows and seeing the online support has been mind-blowing. It's a lot easier for us to feel personal connections with the fans, and vice versa -- plus, it's a lot easier to Tweet than respond to 팬 mail. I'm so grateful for all the 팬 support.
Whether 또는 not she decides to take the cure, how important is it to Rebekah to be the one to find it so she has the option whether to take the cute 또는 not?
Very important. It's what is driving her at the moment. She'd convinced herself that she was a vampire and she'd never have the experiences she really wants of 사랑 and a family. So to now see this as an option is so important. I don't think Rebekah knows what she wants, but she wants to find it and she won't let anyone get in her way.
What are 당신 excited for 팬 to see in the coming weeks?
The dynamics between some of the characters is going to change. Especially with Rebekah, there's less of the mean girl dynamic as she shares 더 많이 of a common goal with the other characters. I'm excited for the episodes where they go in 검색 of the cure because a lot of the actors are together in those scenes -- there's lots of conflict but also a lot of getting along, which I think will be an interesting sight for the fans. As important as it is to have separate storylines, these upcoming episodes have us all on the hunt for the cure, and it's really fun to all be together like that.
당신 may all be together, but it looks like your and Phoebe Tonkin made it through her guest arc without ever sharing a scene together! What's up with that?
I know! What is up with that? [laughs] I was devastated that we shared no scenes together, but I'm campaigning for us to get something together in the future. It's all about story on the show, so I don't know if Haley and Rebekah will ever 십자가, 크로스 paths, but I'll keep holding out hope!

From Shadow Souls. Enjoy.
Like two flames that 가입하기 and merge into one.
Headstrong, each wanting their own way, passionate, impatient... She and Damon were alike.
To all appearances, he was perfectly in control, icy and precise, distant and disinterested. The truth was that he was going out of his mind. - Damon, thinking about being around Elena
I don't belong anywhere, Damon pointed out, suddenly sounding sad. 당신 know I'll always be with you.
Go to bed. Go to hell. Go anywhere, but stay away from me. - Damon's feelings for Elena are overwhelming
Damon whirled, caught her precisely, held her locked in an unbreakable grip. Then, with a swoop of his head like a 매, 팔 콘 on a mouse, he kissed her.
As soon as their minds connected there were something like fireworks. Explosions. Rockets. Stars going nova. - The kiss!
Was that what you've been thinking about while you've been refusing to talk to me? - Elena asking Damon about the kiss
