The Vampire Diaries is just beginning its third season and so far, the show is off to a good start! There's been tons of drama with Elena and Stefan being torn apart, but could a new twist be coming to the show? Is there a baby on the way?
It sounds crazy, but new reports are speculating that a "love child" between Tyler and Caroline could be in the works. According to TVFanatic.com, episode five will have the relationship between Tyler and Caroline taking a turn. The show's producer Julie Plec states, "Something will go terribly wrong" between the two. She adds, "They'll struggle this season."
When asked if the "struggle" could involve a baby, Plec said,
"Vampires can't procreate, and yet, vampires bodies work like anybody else's. So, I don't know. Door's open to take either rule."
She doesn't give much away, but it's quite a tease! Some fans speculate that Caroline and Tyler could become the parents of a new "hybrid" vampire, like the Original Klaus.
What do you think? Caroline and Tyler's relationship is heating up as evidenced by a recent promo, but do you think The Vampire Diaries would really make teen parents out of Tyler and Caroline? Share your thoughts below and be sure to tune in Thursday night at 8 pm to West Palm Beach Comcast channel 4 (WTVX, The CW) to see The Vampire Diaries season 3, episode 4 "Disturbing Behavior."
Talks abt DE, SR and JB
He's got a gun. Ian Somerhalder is balancing on a sunlounge
precariously, with one foot cocked on the railing of the sixth-floor
hotel room. He's holding a three-foot hunting rifle aimed straight at
the cars zipping down Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills. He puts
his left hand to his eyes to shield the sun, he brings the rifle down,
aims, and then… He's passed a phone. The photographer in an adjacent
wing of the hotel tells him to aim a little more to the left, look a
little more menacing. Somerhalder is posed, hard.
"Here is the problem: university and professional ego are what set
us behind in the times." Now, he's in the penthouse suite on the eighth
floor of the Beverly Hilton, sipping ros after a successful six-hour
shoot. Somerhalder is in L.A. to work on his documentary, and to grace
our pages. He lives in Atlanta, where he shoots The Vampire Diaries,
the CW network show based on the serial novels by L.J. Smith. It's a
show young girls love—a strategic move on his behalf. Young girls, says
Somerhalder, are "the most powerful audience in the world. What you can
change is the next generation; generational change is the only thing
that's going to shift the paradigm. I used to get so angry, but then you
realize that's just wasting energy. But if you focus your energy and
realize that it all comes from education, and it's the sharing of
information that will eventually blend out the bureaucracies that exist
now." Information is something Somerhalder's far from lacking.
On The Vampire Diaries, he plays Damon Salvatore, the
maniacally bloodthirsty vampire who spent the first two seasons in the
shadow of his brother, recently reformed goody two-shoes Stefan
Salvatore. It's Somerhalder's best-known role following a short stint on
Lost, Dawson's Creek spin-off Young Americans, and the role of Paul Denton in The Rules of Attraction.
But, as you may have inferred from Somerhalder's lofty aspirations
for the liege of young girls that covet his resolute gaze, his is not
the same old actor story; Somerhalder is not a one-trick pony. In
unveiling the Ian Somerhalder Foundation in January of this year, which
is now active in 190 countries, he's given voice to a militia of young
followers, aptly calling themselves the ISF Kids Army. Through the
foundation, Somerhalder testified before Congress at a conference on
energy policy in Washington, D.C. last week; he's been offered an
ambassadorship for the United Nations Environmental Programme; he's
bought a 195-acre farm in Louisiana to invite students to learn how to
build green bunkhouses; he's been trying to win his mentor Allan Savory a
Nobel Prize for slowing climate change through holistic farming by
directing a (soon-to-be-finished) documentary; and he's begun Go Green
Mobile Power which is about to innovate the county of Los Angeles and
two oil companies with solarised lights. He's trying to create an
"environmental keeping up with the Joneses.
"We look at things like deforestation in Brazil," he continues,
"and we always say, 'Oh god, it's a shame what they're doing down
there.' What do you mean 'down there'?! There is no 'down there.' It's
all the same f**king sphere! We're literally in each other's backyards,
there is just a nautical distance between us, and for some reason we
don't see these distances."
Those nautical miles are something Somerhalder thinks about
everyday, having grown up in the Gulf of Louisiana, in the marshes that
BP destroyed. Suddenly his frutti di mare—the fish,
the crab, the shrimp—was gone. Somerhalder's ex-girlfriend's uncle,
Peter Seligmann, the CEO of Conservation International quickly became a
confidant of his, as too did Deepak Chopra, whom he met at a telethon on
Larry King Live for Gulf Aid. He then met Allan
Savory, and what started as a plight to bring attention to global
environmental issues, inspired him to invest in the project and get his
hands even dirtier.
"I am fed more information on a daily basis than I know what to do
with," Somerhalder says, "but if you start to study the history of the
most phenomenal thinkers of modern times, guys like Buckminster Fuller,
who in the '40s designed cars that ran on ethanol that got 60 miles to a
gallon that transported four people…" He trails off, then bites again,
"What I'm saying is that we are perpetually pushed backwards
technologically. Now fine, [the pushing] has been done for years; I say
it stops now. I say the generations to come will start to understand
that alternatives are available to them. I'm not saying shut down oil
companies. You can't fight them—they're too big. Wouldn't it be better
to show them really amazing technologies that they can actually invest
their money in? Instead of putting together gigantic funds to battle
them? That seems like a much better bet." He makes a point.
And then somehow we begin to discuss an even deeper topic of
humanity: love. To that, he offers this advice, "I think we're in love
all the time with various things," and he detours, "I mean, I know what
it's like to be in love, trust me, and it's a very interesting game
because it always inextricably brings up our deepest darkest
insecurities. It's just a matter of being able to see them, appreciate
them, squash them, and let them go before they get the best of you."
It's getting cold on the balcony and Somerhalder's ros is long
gone, leaving the smudged fingerprints on his glass to reflect in the
light through the hotel window. The sunlight has fallen from the sky and
lights turning on sparkle across the horizon of the ever-decadent
Beverly Hills—people are using energy at an alarming rate. Somerhalder
spots four ducks flying overhead. "Where are they going?" he asks, and
then louder toward the flock, "Where are you going?" He rights himself.
"Probably to some rich person's pond." Somerhalder looks into the night.
"There are seven billion people in this world going through all this
crazy insanity and we're part of it, trying to save this and conserve
that. We're trying to protect this, trying to teach that, and to learn
this, and not learn that. There's so much shit, I don't know how you
could be bored." With that, Somerhalder empties the spent shells from
his rifle and stands to depart.
As Mystic Falls prepares to celebrate the traditional Illumination Night, the town is invaded by spirits of the dead. After a particularly violent encounter with an angry spirit, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) asks Bonnie (Kat Graham) to find the reason behind the ghosts' surprising power. Elena (Nina Dobrev) convinces Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) to use his connection to the other side to help her find a new way to reach Stefan (Paul Wesley), leading Jeremy to a terrible choice. Finally, Alaric (Matt Davis) discovers a long-hidden clue to the past. Candice Accola and Zach Roerig also star.
