THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Ian Somerhalder and Julie Plec Tease ‘Christmas Through Your Eyes’

On tonight’s brand new episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, it’s Christmas in Mystic Falls, and, well, things are going down. And while things are dramatic in the present, the show has found a way to make the hour a little bit lighter: viewers will see flashbacks of happier years when the friends were together (and able to actually be in Mystic Falls).

To get a little bit more info about what will be going down, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES executive producer Julie Plec and series star Ian Somerhalder (Damon) shared a little preview of “Christmas Through Your Eyes” with reporters…

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Julie Plec on the ‘Delena Rain Kiss’ and Teases ‘Fade Into You’

Over the past few years, some THE VAMPIRE DIARIES fans have taken to Twitter to express their desire for a “Delena rain kiss.” (Delena = the Damon + Elena coupling, in case you aren’t familiar with ‘shipper shorthand.) And while some fans may have thought it wouldn’t happen, in a recent episode when Damon reflected on his time with Elena, fans got the kiss they had requested for so long.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES co-creator Julie Plec sat down with reporters, and talked about honoring the fans with that kiss (and how it came to be in that episode), and explained why she loves this Thursday’s brand new episode, “Fade Into You” so much…

PaleyFest 2014: THE ORIGINALS and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Panel Photos

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and its spinoff, THE ORIGINALS, were honored during PaleyFest on Saturday night in Hollywood, and stars Paul Wesley, Phoebe Tonkin, Danielle Campbell, Joseph Morgan, Nina Dobrev, Claire Holt, Ian Somerhalder, Charles Michael Davis, Leah Pipes, and Daniel Gillies, as well as executive producers Julie Plec, Michael Narducci, and Caroline Dries participated in panels about The CW hits.

Check out some photos!

THE ORIGINALS: Julie Plec on the Possibility of Rebekah Returning via Flashbacks — or to THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

THE ORIGINALS shocked viewers when the show said goodbye to one of the core family members, Claire Holt’s Rebekah, in the March 11th episode of the freshman series. (Holt’s decision to leave the show was what prompted the writers to send Rebekah out of town.)

But THE ORIGINALS is a series that, so far, has relied on flashbacks to the siblings’ past tensions and relationships to explain and expand on what is going on in the present. So before Saturday night’s PaleyFest panel for THE ORIGINALS and its mothership series, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, I asked THE ORIGINALS boss Julie Plec if it was plausible to expect to see Rebekah in those flashbacks — or if it was possible for her to turn up on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES again.

I spoke with Young about him pitching himself for a different role on the series, being impressed with the reboot, and more..

THE TOMORROW PEOPLE: Julie Plec on the Show’s Long Journey to Fruition

While crafting a new show can traditionally be a long process, for THE TOMORROW PEOPLE executive producer Julie Plec, this journey goes back to when she first watched the original series.

THE ORIGINALS: Julie Plec on Klaus/Marcel Flashbacks, the Shakespearean Element to the Show, Potential Crossovers, and More

THE ORIGINALS will hit the ground running when the series officially debuts on Thursday, October 3rd at 9 PM on The CW — the first episode will retell some of what viewers learned in the pilot episode (from Elijah’s perspective) and as THE ORIGINALS executive producer Julie Plec told reporters at Comic-Con, viewers will also soon be treated (via flashback) to Klaus and Marcel’s very first meeting.

Take a look at what else she teased…

Julie Plec on Syncing Up THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and THE ORIGINALS, and Retelling THE ORIGINALS’ Backdoor Pilot

THE ORIGINALS may have made its debut as a backdoor pilot during last season of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, but if potential new viewers missed that, the CW series has a creative way of catching everyone up on what went down — the official first episode of THE ORIGINALS will be retelling what happened in “The Originals” episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES from Elijah’s point of view.

“It’s so cool, because it tells you everything that happens when we were watching Klaus do his thing, and meet up with Marcel, and try to get to the bottom of his own mystery [in the backdoor pilot],” THE ORIGINALS/THE VAMPIRE DIARIES executive producer Julie Plec told reporters after the Television Critics Association panel for her new series. “It’s the story of a brother coming into town to try and figure out what happened with his younger, black sheep brother. So he’s kind of playing detective a bit. We get to see scenes that existed in the [backdoor] pilot, but more from Elijah’s point of view. And he believes when he learns of [Hayley’s] pregnancy that it will be that easy to convince his brother to jump on board. So to watch Elijah jump on board and declare how simple it will be, and then to have Klaus reject the baby will be [Elijah’s] powerful moment, as opposed to the pilot where it was Klaus’ powerful moment…and by the last act, we’re moving past that night, and everything we see is new, and it tees up the series.”
