SPOILER för The Vampire Diaries säsong 4
When we were on set, the cast was shooting Episode 7 — and we can confirm that Klaus was still stubbornly pursuing Caroline… and she may have been starting to crack. Unlike Stefan and Damon, Tyler isn’t too keen on being stuck in a drawn-out love triangle situation. He’s certainly not going to let it go on for three or four seasons. “It’s kind of like, ‘Are we prolonging this, or when is it going to end?’ Now is the time where I can honestly say, this season — and probably the first half of the season — she needs to make a choice, really,” says Trevino. “Is she going to choose Klaus? Is she intrigued by that? Because she definitely is, he can offer a lot.”
And while he may not be regularly trying to murder Caroline’s friends, Tyler isn’t perfect. A teeny tiny bit of his Season 1 self may come to the surface when we learn that he’s been keeping a secret from Caroline… a really gorgeous secret. “So then in comes Hayley, which might stir up the pot a bit between Caroline and Tyler,” he teases, referring to Phoebe Tonkin‘s character, a werewolf who helped Tyler break his sire bond to Klaus while Tyler was MIA last season.
“There’s a lot of history there and a strong bond with how far back they go. And, of course, Tyler hasn’t mentioned this to Caroline at all. He forgot to mention that toward the end of Season 3, when he’s back and he broke the sire bond, he forgot to mention that he had the help of this gorgeous female werewolf in Hayley. He must have forgot! He’s an honest guy. He must have just forgot,” he laughs.
We’ll hear more about how Hayley factored in to Tyler’s time in the Appalachian mountains and just how she helped him through that difficult time as the story develops.
Trevino won’t exactly spill as to whether Hayley is a love interest for Tyler, but he does tell us one piece of news that probably won’t thrill the Forwood fans: While Klaus is trying to woo Caroline at the Miss Mystic Falls event, Tyler is preoccupied. Because Hayley is his date. Uh-oh.
