TVD: Joseph Morgan Talks “friends” with Caroline and . . . boiling bunnies??

Let’s get to that “boiling bunnies” thing first.

When asked how Klaus would probably spend the recent Easter holiday, Joesph, without missing a beat, answers, “probably boiling bunnies” when FearNet spoke to him recently on the phone! Boiling bunnies?! Yeah. Probably. But, if he had his shirt off while doing it, would anyone mind? Ok. Yeah. Still pretty disturbing. And, not in accordance with Damon’s being “bad with purpose” instructions either!

Now, on to that “friends” thing with Caroline . . . she didn’t answer when he asked her, but she didn’t scream “no” either.




Klaus and Caroline (Candice Accola) are now officially “friends.” At this point, where are his head and heart when it comes to her?

Klaus is still very much enamored with her. Look, he felt he was dying and called Caroline. Not his sister. Not his brother. That says a lot about where he is in terms of his feelings towards her. We had that episode where Caroline was dying (Into the Wild) and she said, “I know you’re in love with me.” Klaus wants to believe he is, that he is someone capable of love. We’ll see how it plays out, but he’s definitely on board with the idea of being with her.

It was very interesting that Klaus called Caroline. However, who else was he going to call? Rebekah was out with Elena trying to track down the cure, Elijah had gone into hiding after Kol’s firey demise . . . who was left? The Salvatore brothers were pursuing the girls. He certainly wasn’t going to call Tyler. Hayley? Yeah, think that was pretty much it for that little duo. Matt? Hardly. So . . . it wasn’t exactly a declaration of love that he called Caroline. She was pretty much the only one in town.

It sounds like Klaus is going a little soft.

A little soft? Not really, no. What is great is we’re getting to explore more of his vulnerable side, certainly in last night’s episode (American Gothic) where he believed he was dying. We absolutely got to explore some of that fear and vulnerability. The thing about Klaus is just as soon as you start to like him and believe he’s a better person, he goes out and slaughters 12 hybrids with a sword or kills someone’s mom. I believe until the end of this character, whenever that may be, I’ll continue to go through these cycles of vulnerability. He has his ups and downs, which is what makes him such a wonderful character to play.

As long as those “cycles of vulnerability” look a lot like this . . . I’m on board!

Annnnnnyyyyyyway . . .

Joesph talks a little about Klaus’s future. Will he turn out like Damon? “Bad with purpose?
