*leaps about in excitement* Kevin and Julie just did an interview that all but confirmed that what Katherine said about love and hate being foreshadowing for Damon and Elena. Praise the heavens! All hope is not lost. Well if you read the interview (check it out over at vampire-diaries.net) you will see that we are far from a hopeless cause. The writers said this season will bring a lot of trouble for Damon, but that in either this season or next the tide will definitely turn where he ad Elena are concerned. Oh, that just made my night! good things come to those who wait *skips away joyously*

Well yeah, it definitely takes him out of the friend zone, I can’t argue with that. I think we can all agree that she won’t hate him forever that just wouldn’t be good TV. I just hope they don’t make this one of those things where they will *never* get together cause they’re worried it will get boring!

Good point there, with Katherine in town Elena’s gonna need all the protection she can get.

Ignoring the love for now, since Elena’s feelings are not totally there yet, I think there’s one other reason for Elena to speak to Damon again in spite of his murder attempt on her brother. Damon is the toughest vampire around who can be on her side right now, and he spent the past season helping her and protecting her. So if someone she cares about is in big trouble, she will definitely speak to him. My two cents…

Hey, Lisa! Stardust from RPH here.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RACHEL! What an epiphony!!! I NEVERRRRRRRRR thought about it that way, that is BRILLIANT! And SO true! There is only ONE reason to continue talking to the guy who tried to kill your brother. She loves him. And deep down she knows it. It will come to the surface soon enough. We just need to be patient hahaha!

Yes, I am as obsessed as I seem (this being my… fourth(?) post here). I had a total OMG-moment while brushing my teeth.

Damon killing Jeremy was the BEST possible thing for Team Delena. For a while he and Elena were, in her mind at least, in a nice comfortable friendship. That wasn’t his ultimate goal. If he couldn’t break her away from that perception by convincing her she loves him, then isn’t the next best thing to break it the OTHER way so she hates him? Hating him, as many have pointed out, is NOT passive. Him killing Jeremy will most definitely preclude them from having what they had before.

So there’s only two options left: She hates him, and hates him forever. OR, being forced to not see him as a friend, she takes his gestures for what they are this time around. Since she doesn’t hate him, she will eventually admit she loves him. Because she won’t sit contentedly in the “Friend Zone” with the guy who ‘killed’ her brother.

So my theory: Damon will keep fighting for Elena, and since they are no longer friends she won’t be able to shove their interactions under her mental rug, and she won’t be able to deny her feelings anymore.

Because, as we all know, she will talk to Damon again, and there’s really only one reason to continue to talk to the guy who ‘killed’ your brother: She loves him.

So I see this premiere as the best news EVER.

Well… she knows Damon loves Elena. Those were some very Elena-ish facial expressions she was pulling telling him that. And he did pine over her for 145 years. If she were playing a game with them, Stefan (having the girlfriend, and possibly the more broken-by-and-closed-off-to-Katherine heart) would need more encouragement. But he loves her, too, and she knows it. Really she’s gambling (if she IS playing a game which is still unclear) that Damon will still love her even after she absolutely rejected him, making it sting all the more by adopting Elena’s sorrowful facial expressions while saying it. I don’t think he will still chase after her–Elena’s a lot more in-the-dark than Katherine, and younger by far, and there are countless situations which could shift her heart from Stefan to Damon. Katherine knows everything, so no knife-twisting truths will be revealed to her (*cough*cough* Stefan flirting or “playing along” with Katherine at the wake) and she’s less likely to have a change of heart.

So in short, maybe she is being humane and finally snapping her tie to Damon by telling him she love(s)(d) Stefan. Or maybe she is just pitting them against each other because it’s fun to cause chaos.

now that you say that, I’m thinking (and probably totally wrong) that maybe she sees Stefan as the weaker one and Damon as the stronger one but she sees how he shows his emotions and humanity, maybe she wants him to turn it off and go back over to the dark side, so to speak…maybe not, lol. it made since in my head but now that i tried to put in it words i don’t think it came out right…

You pretty much summed up everything but something still bugs me: WHY would Katherine admit she doesn’t love Damon and never has? It is so out of character for Katherine to give a straight answer. Is it a glimpse of her humanity? She genuinely seemed sorry and almost compassionate. Is it a trick, is it part of her plans to push the two brothers apart and destroy Damon? Playing with Damon’s emotions and maintaining doubt, confusion would have been the smart move, now he can get closure. So what is it? Truth, lie, sadism? Is it for his own good or her own agenda? Can’t figure it out. Time will tell… Still, what do you guys think???
