Here is an excerpt:
In “The Vampire Diaries,” it seems like Stefan and Damon are in for a bit of a power struggle. What’s it like working with Ian Somerhalder on the scenes where the two brothers are at each other’s throats? You guys have great chemistry together.
We do have a natural chemistry, because I adore Ian. When we’re acting together, it’s like a tennis match. It’s always nice to play with someone who can hit the ball back to you, you know? And I hope he feels the same way about me. He always gives me something new to react to or to feed off of.
The dynamic of the characters is so interesting because they love each other, but they hate each other. I don’t have a brother, I have sisters, but I would imagine it’s very love-hate. It’s just exaggerated to the nth degree for Stefan and Damon. As the season progresses, they develop more love for each other, but they keep doing things to make each other distrustful, then we go back to ground zero and start again. There’s always this thing in Stefan’s head where he hopes that one day Damon can just be as normal and functioning as possible.
