Interview: Daniel Gillies on Vampire Diaries Return, Reunion, Major Episode Ahead

I tried, Vampire Diaries fans.

I poked and prodded and hinted and tried to get Daniel Gillies to spill some details on whether or not his newly revived Original would soon be reunited with all three brothers and his sister - but he just laughed and kept making the same point when the topic arose:

"It's the season of the Originals, like Julie Plec said awhile back. I'm just gonna hide behind that."

Still, we can all read between those exciting lines, can't we?

For awhile now, Gillies said he was "pretty confident" he'd return to Mystic Falls, expressing shock and gratitude for the fans' reaction to Elijah.

"The character just grew in popularity, more so than I ever expected him to," said the actor. "I've died four times and been resurrected four times. It's great."

So now that Elijah is back in the suspense-filled picture, what can we expect from him? How does he view the brother who recently placed him, once again, in "the big sleep," as Gillies referred to his dormant state?

"They're gonna have to put aside their differences," the star said. "Let's face it, both of us have betrayed the other in some way, Klaus obviously more prolifically than Elijah, but Elijah has done his fair share, as well."

Referring specifically to Thursday's "Bringing Out the Dead," Gillies teased the episode will "dictate the course" of the next several installments, with "terms and parameters" getting laid out for various characters.

Gillies explains Elijah's relationship with Klaus as having been "appallingly adversarial for hundreds of years" and said if there's any love at all on his character's end, it was "suppressed" a long time ago.

At this point, Elijah has one item on his agenda: getting his family back together.

The actor doesn't know (or perhaps just can't say) how long he'll be around for this time, but he couldn't stop gushing about the cast and crew on The Vampire Diaries.

"I can't tell you how much I love my job with these guys," he said. "And I really, really love Julie Plec. She's the most considerate boss I've ever had... just so diplomatic and so careful to really listen to you when you have an issue."

That really is very nice to hear, but getting back to Klaus and Rebekah and Finn and Kol and...

"It's the season of the Originals," Gillies said again.

See, I tried.

Bianca: Vampire Diaries scoop? Is there anything at all you can say about The Originals coming back? 
The return of The Originals brings with it some great sibling rivalry. None of them are happy with Klaus for having carted them around in coffins'and he gets to see what it's like being on the receiving end of their anger. Translation: Poor (hot) Joseph Morgan might need a hug. Any of you fans willing and able?

nickstives: Is it true Damon is hooking up with someone other than Elena? Say it ain't so!
Damon will get naked with someone other than Elena. If you Damon-Elena fans want the good news about this particular storyline, just stop reading after the first four words of the previous sentence.

Biggiepie: Anything on TVD that's coming up that we don't know?
With TVD never one to drag a story out too long, we hear that the mysterious locked coffin will be opened sooner than you think. As in, count the days! Yeehaw!

Question: If you give me some Vampire Diaries scoop, I'll send Courteney Cox back through time to do your make-up and sculpt your lashes again. —Juan
Ausiello: Deal. On Diaries, a recurring male character's days are numbered.

Question: Rumor has it that Vampire Diaries' Damon is going to make sexy time with someone whose name is not Elena. Any idea who? —Jill
Ausiello: I have a very good idea who (read: I know, silly), but my lips are zipped. This much I can share: His shag partner is female, she packs a bite, and the encounter is, ahem, rough.
