"The Vampire Diaries&amp;#039; executive producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson have promised that &amp;quot;the Stefan-Klaus roadshow&amp;quot; will be a big part of season three. In the second season finale, Stefan (Paul Wesley) agreed to leave Mystic Falls with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) so that Damon&amp;#039;s life could be saved. Morgan has now explained that fans will begin to find out Klaus&amp;#039;s motives. &amp;quot;What we&amp;#039;re going to get to see is how dark Stefan can go,&amp;quot; he told TV Line. &amp;quot;The interesting thing is that Klaus has given Stefan permission to release that darker side of himself. We&amp;#039;re going to see... what Klaus&amp;#039;s ultimate goal is with Stefan and for Stefan.&amp;quot; Plec promised that the storyline will be explored &amp;quot;hopefully for a good amount of time&amp;quot; and teased that the emergence of Stefan&amp;#039;s dark side will have a big effect on the other characters. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;ll probably make his way back to Mystic Falls,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Suddenly, it&amp;#039;ll be an interesting dynamic for Damon, who was the mysterious, evil dude who showed up in season one, leaving Stefan to clean up his messes. Now, it&amp;#039;s going to be a little bit of the reverse.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re going to see a very, very, very definitively different version of [Stefan and Elena&amp;#039;s] relationship. Not just [in] one episode, but over a good part of the season.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Williamson claimed that Wesley is &amp;quot;really good&amp;quot; at portraying a different side of Stefan. &amp;quot;He also has a swagger and a fun to the role that doesn&amp;#039;t exist as Stefan because he&amp;#039;s so the good boy,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s so intense. He&amp;#039;s so broody. No-one really gets to see the playful side of Paul Wesley... As dark and as devilish and as nasty as [the new Stefan] is, it makes him more fun.&amp;quot; Plec has previously revealed that Stefan will go down &amp;quot;a very dark road&amp;quot; in the new season, while Morgan has confirmed that Klaus has a &amp;quot;plan&amp;quot;. The Vampire Diaries returns with its third season on September 15 on The CW.
