Fans are gearing up for a lot of changes in Mystic Falls when the Vampire Diaries returns this September. Actor Candice Accola, who stars as Caroline, is excited for new changes and for a chance to face off against The Originals.
In this interview (view above), Accola states: “I’m really excited to meet these Originals. The writers have dubbed this [Season 3] the season of The Originals. So, I’m excited for possible other flashbacks.”
Regarding Season 2′s dark tone, Accola says that this coming season won’t be as dark from the onset. The darkness will be more from “internal” forces within the characters.
“It’s going to lighten up a little bit. Instead of giant crazy external things happening, it’s going to get darker within the characters.”
At the end of last season Caroline and her mother ended on good terms despite her mother’s anti-vampire history. Accola is also excited to see how Caroline’s relationship with her mother grows in TVD Season 3. However, in Accola’s own words, “Nothing ever really stays on good terms in Mystic Falls.”
Let us know your thoughts on this interview and what you’re looking forward to most from Caroline, Tyler, Matt and
The Originals.
As a side note, Accola is a pleasure to talk to and it was lovely to see that she’s just as radiant in person as she is on TVD.
