The Vampire Diaries

Is the balance of power shifting now that Elijah (Daniel Gillies) has been summoned back to life? The Vampire Diaries actor spoke with TV Fanatic, but he was pretty sketchy on the details of exactly what the Original vampire will do now that he’s alive and kicking. Specifically, will his loyalty lie with the brother who killed him, Klaus (Joseph Morgan), or the guy who undaggered him, Damon (Ian Somerhalder)?

The first thing Elijah did upon exiting his coffin was rip the heart out of Klaus’ hybrids. Gillies tells TV Fanatic that any love that once existed between the Original brothers has been “suppressed” on Elijah’s part. "They're gonna have to put aside their differences," Gillies said. "Let's face it, both of us have betrayed the other in some way, Klaus obviously more prolifically than Elijah, but Elijah has done his fair share, as well."

That certainly sounds like the O.V.s will team up against the Mystic Falls crew, especially since Gillies adds that Elijah’s number one priority is reuniting his family. That’s going to be bad news for Damon and Stefan (Paul Wesley), who discuss proffering a fake truce between themselves and Elijah and Klaus — though Stefan is skeptical of trusting the floppy-haired Original, even if he is angry with Klaus for putting him in a coffin.

Gillies wouldn’t say how many episodes of TVD he’ll be alive for — he points out that he’s been killed and resurrected four times now — but he’s definitely a major player in the synopsis for Season 3, Episode 15, “All My Children.” Of course, we want him to stay for forever.
