The Vampire Diaries’ Joseph Morgan Teases Season Four Klaus and Caroline

Fans of The Vampire Diaries (like me) are dying for dish on what’s to come of the Klaus, Caroline and Tyler love triangle, especially after the Season 3 finale. Caroline loves Tyler, Klaus has a thing for Caroline, and now Klaus in in Tyler’s body. What’s to come of it all? Is Klaus’ body destroyed? Will he be in Tyler’s body forever? Will Klaus play Caroline? Who knows? Well, Joseph Morgan, the man behind Klaus, knows a little something and he shared with the fans.

“I think the intention was to kill me at the end of season three, and yet I live on, so I must be doing something right!” Joseph said of Klaus’ near-death in the season three finale. “Part of it is I love my job and I talked to the show’s creator [Julie Plec]; we talked about what would be the best thing to do. She said, ‘I think there are some more stories to tell with this character,” and I said, ‘I agree, and I would love to have the opportunity to tell them.'”

Stories such as the body swap with Tyler, which is sure to make for an interesting twist in the love triangle.

“I think it will end in tears, probably Caroline’s. I think Klaus will do his best to take advantage of the situation and to get something from it; I wouldn’t be surprised if he does,” Joseph predicts. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the first Klaroline kiss is in Tyler’s body, but eventually I think he’ll be found out because that has the most dramatic effect, right?”

While Joseph doesn’t know for sure what will happen with Klaus and, he said, “I’d like to explore the relationship further, for sure. I love working with Candice. I think there’s a chemistry there. I think it’s interesting to show more humanity of Klaus. I think our storyline allows that. ”

Since Michael Trevino did such a good job of playing Klaus in the finale, Joseph was also asked if he was nervous about dying for real this time and having Tyler take over.

“[Laughs.] There’s nothing I can do about it!” he said. “I thought when they introduced me in Alaric’s (Matt Davis) body that they covered themselves, because they could always get another body for Klaus if I didn’t work out. I think people are too attached to Tyler to just be Klaus forever!

When talking about Trevino’s performance, Joseph said he didn’t give him any pointers on playing Klaus, “I would never assume to tell another actor how to do his job!” he said. “We’ve worked together long enough and we hung out enough that he knows what he’s doing. I trust him with the role.”

In sounds like the real Klaus will return! YAY!

What do you want to happen with the love triangle between Caroline, Klaus and Tyler?
