Vampire Diaries season 6 will include a focus on Caroline’s feelings for Stefan.
Caroline has always been a bright spot on the show, but unexpectedly snapped Luke’s neck.
Executive producer Caroline Dries told Alloy Entertainment a little while ago that Caroline “was feeling helpless and out of control--So that vicious move was pure emotional desperation.”
“Her feelings for Stefan are (at the conscious level right now) friend feelings. I personally feel like she’s not quite sure what she’s feeling. It’s all types of confusing. Lots of grey area: Stefan is her friend. Elena loved Stefan. Elena’s her best friend. Kind of a no-fly zone, which is why I think that if she has had any more-than-friend feelings she’s pushed them away or convinced herself otherwise,” Dries explained.
“The feelings behind the feelings are something we get to explore in season 6 as we watch how her relationship with Stefan plays out in the wake of the finale. Any time we turn a character dark it’s fun because it’s a change of pace for the writers, actors and viewers. It'd be interesting to see a darker Caroline but we would only go down that road if it felt 100 percent earned.”
Speaking of dark, it’s up in the air whether Stefan will go dark, or a different direction, executive producer Julie Plec said previously.
“I think it'll be surprising. I don’t want to say too much about it, but he lost something very profound, and there are a million ways he could go,” she told TVLine.
“He could go light, he could go dark, he could go pure, he could lose his mind and get on a motorcycle and drive to Miami. So what he ultimately ends up doing will be an interesting reflection on his state of mind at the moment — and very fun for Paul [Wesley] to play.”
