"Dawn Olivieri has revealed that she would like her Vampire Diaries character Andie to fight against being compelled. Andie recently began a romance with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) but he has compelled her to do his bidding and keep his secrets. However, Olivieri told TV Guide that she has included &amp;quot;subtle&amp;quot; moments where Andie struggles against the mind control. &amp;quot;There was one, for example, where I saw the bite and I took a moment in the mirror, almost like you see the reflection of a trapped person inside,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s moments like that that I want to have for her so it&amp;#039;s not just all her being hypnotised. I want that struggle to come through and for her to fight to come up for air.&amp;quot; Olivieri suggested that Andie is &amp;quot;smarter&amp;quot; than Damon&amp;#039;s previous love interests, saying: &amp;quot;Andie is a worthy opponent - not in physicality but in the mind. What&amp;#039;s going to be interesting is when Andie comes to from her comatose state. She&amp;#039;s a news reporter so she&amp;#039;s not going to be a victim of crime and let things happen. The unfortunate thing for Andie is she&amp;#039;s going to want to get to the bottom of it. &amp;quot;It could lead to her demise or it could do the opposite, which would be the fantastic turn that no-one expects, because every girl that comes on here just gets killed!&amp;quot; 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.
