"Daniel Gillies has said that his character on The Vampire Diaries is an &amp;quot;idiot&amp;quot;. The 35-year-old revealed that he finds it difficult to relate to Elijah, admitting that some of the vampire&amp;#039;s decisions have been questionable.  &amp;quot;I think that he&amp;#039;s an idiot,&amp;quot; Gillies told Assignment X. &amp;quot;Some of the things that [Elijah has] done, especially toward the end of last season, I was like, &amp;#039;Well, that&amp;#039;s obscenely ridiculous&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  He explained: &amp;quot;There was no way that anybody that intelligent, who&amp;#039;d been alive that long, who can murder another vampire, no less, with the back of his hand, who can move faster than light, is going to go, &amp;#039;You know what? This guy [Klaus] is not so bad\u2026&amp;#039; &amp;quot;And I love you [producer] Julie [Plec], I love you [producer] Kevin [Williamson], but I thought that was just\u2026 odd.&amp;quot; Gillies went on to say that he thinks Elijah is capable of forgiving Klaus (Joseph Morgan).  &amp;quot;I think if he returned the family to Elijah and if he left Elena alone, [Elijah would forgive him],&amp;quot; he said. Vampire Diaries star Claire Holt recently teased that viewers will discover more about the Originals on the next episode of the CW series. The Vampire Diaries airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW in the US and on Tuesdays at 9pm on ITV2 in the UK. &amp;gt; The Vampire Diaries: &amp;#039;Ordinary People&amp;#039; in pictures "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
