E! online recently interviewed Ian Somerhalder who plays Damon Salvatore, the evil brother of Stefan Salvatore on CW’s “Vampire Diaries.” They talked to him about the future of Damon’s character,and he says that he will stay just as mean as he is in the first episode. He also reveals more about how he will further interfere in Elena and Stefan’s relationship.

Ian said that Damon is going to stick with the meanness for a good while,but then there will be moments where we may see a little humanity in him. He states, ” He sticks with it for a little while. I think that’s his thing, and he has such a good time doing it. There are moments where you may see some sort of humanity in him, and there are moments when you may see that he may not be as intense as he appears to be.”

Next,Ian talked about how fun it is to play the Damon character. He said, ” He is a lot of fun, and I’ve been really lucky in this thing.I guess we call it careers,but he’s the most fun character I’ve ever had the opportunity to play. And again, and it sounds kind of strange, but it’s all about perspective. From his perspective, it’s normal to eat people. It’s like if you go to market and you know.”

Ian talked more in depth about Stefan and Damon’s relationship and what happened between them in the past. He stated, “Stefan is not a fan of Damon, and for good reason. Whatever happened in the past, something happened between these two to yield an enormous amount of animosity, equally shared.

Damon harbors a lot of anger toward Stefan for something he did in the past. So at any given moment, Stefan finds himself in a place where he’s happy, Damon will show up to ruin it. And that’s intense. Make no mistake about it, Damon loves his brother. He would never let anything happen to his brother.

He’s the only one he has. And to be honest with you, Stefan is the only person who truly understands Damon, who understands what he’s been through, understands what he’s coming from. So in that sense, the relationship is one-sided in that Damon does love his brother, and he misses his brother.”

Ian commented on how the show will have an even mixture of romance and goth. He said, “The beautiful thing about Kevin is that he has this ability to mix together a genre, the small-town aspect of it, and take epic romantic aspects of it and then the scary aspect of it, where when you finally settle into your seat or couch a little bit, it pops up and makes you jump. To answer your question, I don’t see it in any one given place. I see it as a mixture of all those elements.”

Finally, Ian talked about how Damon interacts with multiple people in the cast because he has an agenda. He said, “I’ll quote Kevin really quickly because he always talks about this isn’t a film. It doesn’t have a beginning, middle and end. A series evolves, and you get to evolve with these characters.

Going from the pilot into the episodes and seeing the different interactions between characters has surprised me greatly, because I start to ingratiate myself into the town and try to weasel my way into Stefan’s world, which I start to do with varying amounts of success. That surprises me, which has been a lot of fun.

It’s been a lot of fun to be in the room with a bunch of other people because it could have been that my relationship with Stefan and or Elena was all you saw. But that’s not the case because Damon has an agenda. He does. And that’s what’s so cool about him.”
