Klaus & Caroline - Stay

'Vampire Diaries' Interview: Joseph Morgan Talks the Cure, Klaroline, & 'The Originals'

JustJaredJr.com: Let’s start off with Klaus and Caroline. We keep getting these moments between them where her feelings for him, friendship or otherwise, are sort of tested. Will she confront them soon or will they be in this sort of dance forever?

Joseph Morgan: I can tell you the relationship is complicated and continues to get more and more complicated, so I think at some point, she’ll have to.. she’s an assertive young woman, Caroline. I think at some point she’ll have to confront her feelings and they’ll have to be some sort of resolve or Klaus, as an impatient being, will force her to confront them. I think he’s one for ultimatums, so I think at some point they’ll be some sort of crescendo there. I think there will have to be. It’s certainly not my goal to frustrate people, just three seasons of the dancing around each other or something (laughs) and I don’t think the writers will want to do that anyway. But what’s happening is, their dynamic is evolving, even though it’s a dance.

JJJ: We have to ask you about those Klaus tears. We don’t see them often, but when we do, they are absolutely brilliant. Is that something that’s written in the script or is that your creative decision?

JM: No, I don’t think it’s written in the script. I don’t know, it’s just something I do I suppose. Sometimes I wonder if I do it too much (laughs). Like, am I showing too much vulnerability? I feel like they show so much aggression of his sociopathic, murderous side, it needs to be balanced out a little bit. And there is a vulnerable side to him. As a child, he was never loved enough and was resented, and indeed persecuted, by his father. So I think there are a lot of feelings underneath it all, for him, which tend to come out sometimes. I mean, the intentions and the motives are given to me by the writers and Julie, and I just try to put them across. Last [episode], as far as Klaus was concerned, was life and death, so I thought that was worthy of that level of emotion.

JJJ: When he does have those moments, it tends to be with certain people. We saw him get emotional with Mikael in season 3 and with Caroline this season. Since they aren’t confirmed for the spin-off, should we assume Klaus will be as evil as ever?

JM: You shouldn’t assume that neither of them are going to be in the spin-off because Mikael is dead and we have flashbacks. The show is called The Originals. There’s always a chance there will be some history that has to do with his father. [Point taken!] And secondly, we’ve been teased that there will be crossovers between the two shows, should we picked up, so I think certainly one a lot of people will be waiting for is to see Caroline show up with a suitcase in her hand. I don’t know. I would never say never.

But no, we’re not going to see him just be evil. I think what we’re going to see is certainly more screen time with Klaus. But the series itself centers around his character, so I think what we’ll see, if anything, if more sides of him. They will continue to flesh out the character and show more dynamic. The more other characters we bring into, the more we’ll see different dynamics and how he relates to different people. For me, the more I play with the character, the more scenes that are written, and the more the characters that are introduced or reintroduced into his life, the more there is for me to explore. We’ll see him react to it in a way that we’ve never seen him react before, just in the pilot. We’ll see something thrown at him that catches him right off guard. Again, it will open up that emotional world for him.

JJJ: We’re hearing a lot about the change in dynamic between Klaus and his brother Elijah in the spin-off. When will we see that shift start to happen?

JM: It’s ever-shifting, I think, since I daggered him at the end of season 2. Absolutely, it’s always evolving. And the thing that I love about Elijah, is I think he always feels that there is some possibility for redemption for Klaus. And I’d like to think that he’s right. But yeah, we’ll see that dynamic shift even during episode 19, and certainly during episode 20. Their potential roles in each others’ futures will be defined in those couple of episodes.

JJJ: What about Rebekah (Claire Holt)? It seems, at times, she wants to forgive Klaus and be a family, but he just keeps doing these terrible things to her. What can you tell us about what’s coming up for them?

JM: They both have reasons to want the cure right now. Klaus wants to get Silas off his back. And Rebekah wants to be human, to be loved, and to live a normal life. Their dynamic is tested as ever. Because their other living sibling holds the one thing that both of them need or want at the moment. I really think as well, that Rebekah really hasn’t truly forgiven Klaus for episode four this season where he used Stefan to betray her trust and then put her in a box for a couple of episodes. I think he really crossed the mark there. He crossed the mark at the end of the first episode as well when he told her, “You’re not my sister, you’re not my family, you’re nothing to me.” I think they are probably on the worst terms they’ve been in probably hundreds of years. They’re not seeing eye-to-eye right now.

JJJ: Klaus mentioned in the last episode that he isn’t exactly actively searching for Tyler (Michael Trevino), either because he’s too busy or really, for Caroline’s sake. Do you think he is capable of doing the same for his brother, where Katherine is concerned?

JM: I’ll tell you this: his brother is going to ask him to do that. I’ll tell you that much, but I’m not going to tell you how Klaus reacts to that.

JJJ: Fair enough! And lastly, Klaus and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) hooked up and we really haven’t seen her since. Was that a one-time deal and will it be addressed at some point?

JM: I think it was a one-time thing, but both characters are in the spin-off. We’ll see Hayley again in episode 420. And what it does do is complicate the dynamic between them because those characters now have a history. So it will be acknowledged, but I guess not addressed like it’s going be a “now they’re on, now they’re off.” I don’t think it will be addressed in that way. But it’s absolutely a part of their history together now and it’s something that complicates their dynamic even further.

5 Reasons Why The Vampire Diaries' Klaus Isn't Any Worse Than Stefan or Damon

Since his introduction in Season 2, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) has been very much positioned as a villain in The Vampire Diaries— at least in the eyes of the Mystic Falls gang. The audience, on the other hand, has always found the Original so charming that we're usually willing to forgive him for whatever his evil doings (though his murder of Mayor Lockwood was a true test of any such sympathies).
He's gotten so empathetic that even Stefan (Paul Wesley) is experiencing a change of heart. "I thought I'd be happier watching Klaus get lead away to the slaughter, but for some reason I can't help but feel kind of guilty," Stefan told Caroline (Candice Accola). "We've all done horrible things. I'm sitting here trying to figure out what makes us any better than him."
The answer to that, Stefan, is that you're not any better than him. And neither is your brother. Here are five reasons why:



1. Klaus only picked up where Damon left off
Most people have forgotten that when Damon (Ian Somerhalder) first came to town, he wasn't just a bad boy — he was The Big Bad! Throughout the first season, Damon continuously tempted Stefan to get back on human blood, knowing full well the repercussions, and he threatened Elena's (Nina Dobrev) life as often as he took someone else's —which was, if you remember, quite often and usually for no reason at all.
And it wasn't just strangers that were the victim of Damon's twisted impulses. Caroline, Vicki, Lexi, Mason, Bonnie — the list of those who have suffered (and sometimes fatally) at the hands of the beloved vamp is exhaustive. Not to mention that he once tried to compel Elena to kiss him. Hello?! That's called sexual assault!

2. Klaus isn't the only one who can't control his impulses
 Since transitioning in 1864, Stefan has struggled with his own uncontrollable dark urges. And when I say dark, I mean dark! (Let's just say, he didn't earn the nickname "Ripper" for nothing.)
But in Season 3, Stefan crossed a line that went far beyond any violent past discretion. In order to intimidate Klaus, Stefan force-fed Elena his blood and threatened to drive her off Wickery Bridge, the same bridge where her parents died and that would later take her life, as well.
And Stefan isn't the only one who constantly struggles to stay on the side of good. Must we remind you about Alaric's evil alter ego or the fact that Jeremy's been training so that he'd be able to resist the instinct to murder his own sister? Yeah, and they think Klaus has issues...


3. We're all victims of our upbringing 
Klaus' werewolf gene always isolated him from his family, shaping him into the recluse with trust issues that we know today. But who can blame him? His own parents wanted him dead!
That's why Klaus' hybrids are so important to him. And that's why, when Tyler turned the hybrids against him, Klaus went on a murder spree lashed out -- because it was the only way for Klaus to distract himself from the pain of losing his family all over again.
It wasn't anything Klaus enjoyed, but it was how he was trained to survive. "In those cases when Klaus loses it, in my mind he disconnects and goes cold," Morgan tells TVGuide.com. "Walls come up around him and he removes himself from feeling anything. And that's when he can say the most horrible things to his siblings. He can break necks and pull out hearts and he's to being deliciously malicious and he's not got a wry smile on his face, he's really just trying to feel nothing as opposed to the rage that's inside."


4. Klaus is just really, really lonely 
Because his own parents viewed him as an abomination, Klaus never felt worthy of affection. That's why he isolates himself from those around him with violence and a false display of apathy — but that doesn't mean Klaus is at all happy about it.
After Stefan insulted Klaus for keeping victims' letters to memorialize them, the Original pointed out that Stefan wrote his victims' names on walls. According to Klaus, this wasn't a celebration of the deaths, but simply a "reminder that in the end, we're left infinitely and utterly alone."
It's partially because of this overwhelming loneliness that Klaus seems to revel in violence and chaos. By accepting his role as Forever Alone, Klaus was able to take control of that hurt and thus went from being a victim to becoming the predator, a coping mechanism that both Salvatores have utilized in the past.



5.Love heals all (even evil vampires) 
Damon was evil before landing Elena, and love has brought Stefan back from the dark side multiple times. Would the caring arms of a woman have the same effect on Klaus? Morgan seems to think so. "I'm very happy to have a romantic interest in the show," Morgan says of Klaus' crush on Caroline, "but he's not getting love, maybe that's what he needs."
Do you think a relationship with Caroline would be the difference between Klaus being a Big Bad and being just another bad boy?
