Fine Up There Alone

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder chatted with Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming sixth season of their hit CW show, The Vampire Diaries.

In the interview, the duo talk how their characters are dealing with the affects from the Season Finale, Bamon, Elena’s relationship with her brother, and so much more. Higlights can be found below.

On how their characters are doing:

Nina-“We do fast forward four months, so the initial shock grieving, we’ve already surpassed. Now we’re seeing the second phase of it, which is eerily deceiving and odd. It’s not a very conventional way of dealing with grief.”

Ian-“He’s pissed off. They’re stuck in a place they don’t want to be, and Damon’s fiercely loyal. He feels the need to get back to his family. They’re trying everything. They’re Scooby-Doo-ing that sh– like crazy.”

Nina on Elena and Jeremy’s relationship: “He’s in Mystic Falls and he’s going through his own grieving, so they’re still in touch, but he’s shutting her out a little bit and going through his own process. And she can’t really be there for him all that much. There’s only so much she can do from where she is and she’s in her own world. She’s trying, but there definitely is a bit of a disconnect between them.”

Ian on Bamon: “They definitely find some bonding time. At the end of the day, even if they truly appear to hate one another, I mean, these two individuals have gone through a lot together.”

Ian on Damon’s drive to get back to Elena: “He’ll go through every length to make that happen. It’s a driving force in his life. Damon doesn’t give a sh– about very much except his home, his brother, and his girl.”

The new season premieres tomorrow, October 2!
