How hard is to do what you are doing with Stefan and how far you can push it before it gets back to normal?

Kevin Williamson : It is difficult because the sad part about it is that Stefan is a man of character. He has a soul so good. And now, it is this turn ugly, so no matter what he does now, he'll never be able to forgive yourself. So if he can not forgive yourself, how can he expect the pardon of the woman who loves you? He will never be nice again, in their eyes. He has such a journey. It's so sad because now he is in so tragic. He is a true tragic hero, in the largest sense, even more now after Damon has always been. It's a fine line to walk, and we're playing with a tragedy enough that the public can grasp it and take care of him, though he did not go that way terrible. It is a tragic fall. I'm hoping he'll be one of those situations where the audience will love him until he can learn to love yourself again. This is what is happening. We love Damon, and every week, Damon was killing someone new.When killed Lexi, I hated it, and it was my idea. I knew the public would turn against him.
