Right now, Daniel Gillies (Elijah) is busy on his new NBC show Saving Hope — but that doesn’t mean he’s abandoned Vampire Diaries forever. (Thank goodness, because we would revolt.) In an interview with About.com, Gillies talked about his medical drama and whether Elijah will return to Mystic Falls.
“I'd like to and I'd say there is a strong likelihood that I'm returning,” said Daniel when asked about the likelihood of seeing Elijah in Season 4. Hooray!
Gillies also explained what he admires about vampires. “I like the idea that over several lifetimes, you can master so many things,” he said. “I think the depressing part about being a human or a living creature is that you're going to die and the thing we love about vampires is their perpetual youth.”
Elijah is quite different from Gillies’s Saving Hope character, but they do have a few things in common. “He's a bit of a rolling stone and hasn't stayed in one place for too long, I don't think he has ever found a place he can describe as home both personally and professionally,” Gillies says of Joel Goren.
At least in our opinion, Elijah will always have a home on TVD. Plus, he can’t leave for good until he confesses his feelings for Elena (Nina Dobrev).

There’ll be a lot of change ahead as Elena starts her bloodsucking journey in The Vampire Diaries‘ upcoming Season 4. But if there’s one thing you can rely on to stay the same, it’s that matters of the heart are always complicated in Mystic Falls.
Below, executive producer Julie Plec gives TVLine a status report on two of the show’s biggest love triangles — Stefan/Elena/Damon and Tyler/Caroline/Klaus — and a possible new oneinvolving Jeremy.
THE STEFAN/ELENA/DAMON OF IT ALL | Elena’s transition into a vampire – and the remembrance of all the memories Damon erased – will have big consequences for her relationships with both Salvatores. “All these things that she’s experienced with Damon and with Stefan will have different context for her as she’s becoming this new person,” previews Plec. “This circumstance, which is pretty horrific, is going to make them all care about each other even more deeply and argue even more intensely and fracture even more greatly and love as deeply as possible.”
Although Damon is back to his Season 1 ways, “it’s certainly not the end of Delena, as anyone might be afraid,” insists Plec. “In fact, in a way, it’s the beginning of the beginning.” But just because Elena now remembers Damon’s confession of love and that she met him first doesn’t mean she’ll be regretting her decision to stick with Stefan. “I wouldn’t want her to be so fickle,” says the EP. However, the regained knowledge will “imbed itself in her brain a little bit. As she continues to look at herself and her relationship and friendship with Damon, it’s all those new pieces of information that will be important along the way.”
