Few shows have mastered the art of the love triangle as well as "The Vampire Diaries." While originally it was all about the steamy dynamic between Stefan (Paul Wesley), Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder), the show quickly developed another threesome that had fans taking sides.
Obviously, we're talking about Matt (Zach Roerig), Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino). In other words, the human, the vampire and the werewolf (has a nice ring to it right?!). Some fans would love to see Caroline patch things up with on-again-off-again boyfriend Matt, while others want to see her pursue something with on-again-off-again friend Tyler. But what does Candice want to see? Hollywood Crush spoke to the star recently and she told us that she understands why fans are torn between the two pairings.
"With Caroline and Matt there’s so much of a first love feeling to their relationship," Candice told us. "But with Caroline and Tyler there’s that sense of a budding relationship from a friendship. So I think it goes back to that question, what’s better? You know, what brings about a better relationship? If it stems from a friendship or...do you need that immediate connection of lust and love?"
So, which way does Candice lean? Let's just say she's just as torn as many of you who see the potential in both couplings.
"I love so many aspects of both of the relationships," she said. "Caroline as a character can be herself in front of Tyler, and there’s such a mutual friendship there. But then you know, I’m such a sucker for the idea of a first love, so I don’t know. I’m really excited to see where the writers take it."
Speaking of where the writers take it, there's no triangle without Tyler, so we asked Candice if he was indeed returning to Mystic Falls and her answer was definitely positive.
"Yes. I mean, there is no way that that storyline is done," she said. "When and how he’ll come back and his intention of why he comes back, I’ll have no idea what that’ll be."
While she may not know how Tyler makes his return, she's pretty confident it will be (in true "TVD" form) epic.
"The writers are gonna have an awesome storyline for that and I’m really excited to see what it is."
