Storylines

"As the story progresses we see his journey, his struggle, his disease take over, this darkness, and it sort of turns into a Stefan that has no morals. "That's really, really fun to play. I get to play a whole new character and I get to do something that I have never done, and the audiences get to see me in a way that they never would've expected."

—Paul Wesley on playing "ripper" Stefan.[47]

Over the course of season three, more about Klaus and The Original Family will be revealed as will his motives for wanting Stefan on his side. Stefan becomes darker, Damon and Elena struggle with the guilt of their growing bond even as they work together to bring Stefan back. Caroline and Tyler grow closer. Ghosts from Jeremy's past have a message for him, and begin to affect his relationship with Bonnie.

The first episode of the season featured Elena's 18th birthday, "There will be a small time jump [from where last season ended] as we celebrate Elena's birthday. But as is the pattern in Mystic Falls, the event never reaches its climax."[48]

Executive producer Julie Plec revealed in an interview with TV Guide that Elena will have to deal with her attraction towards Damon while they look for his brother Stefan,[49] she also revealed that Tyler and Caroline will be happy for a while until something goes horribly wrong[50] and that there is an agenda happening with our ghosts that isn't just, 'Hey, I want to make amends with my loved ones', regarding the ghosts of Jeremy's past.
