Ian Somerhalder On A Damon-Elena Romance: It's Just A 'Pipe Dream For Damon'



Now that we've heard Ian Somerhalder's thoughts on a "Vampire Diaries" musical episode, and how playing Damon's softer side is a challenge, what else did we have to discuss with the CW superstar?

Why, the possibility of a hook-up between his character, Damon, and Nina Dobrev's Elena, of course. Unfortunately for "Dalena" fans, Ian said the forecast for their romantic future is pretty bleak.

"Look, here’s the thing, I don’t know how he's going to get back into her good graces. He killed her brother, there is no better way to tell someone you love them then to snap their brother's neck. Most people do flowers," Ian told MTV News recently. "I've heard [fans want] that and even in talking to Kevin [Williamson] and Julie [Plec]... How? That's the question: How in the hell is he going to get back in her good graces? How is she ever going to trust him again? How is she ever even going to want to look at him again?"

Somerhalder went on to say that he doesn't think a relationship is in the cards for Damon and Elena, that it's just "a pipe dream for Damon." He had similar thoughts regarding fans' wanting a Damon-Bonnie pairing.

"Again, she hates him! Hates him. And not like the kind of hate that could eventually turn into love, she despises the guy," Ian said. "Five generations for her family have despised the guy, you know what I mean?

"How many times could he be rejected?" he added. "Poor guy. He would probably be better off leaving Mystic Falls and going to the Caribbean for 100 years."

Somehow we sincerely doubt that. Even in the Caribbean Damon would find a way to incite death and destruction.
