When it comes to leading a hard-knocked life in Mystic Falls, we’ll always name Matt Donovan as the local expert. However, it seems that, lately, many of his friends are challenging his prime standing as the town’s most unfortunate resident: Elena became her worst nightmare — a vampire. Stefan discovered that his brother and ex-boo got down and freaky back at Chez Salvatore. And now? Tyler, who had lost his father (Mayor Lockwood) to supernatural circumstances in season 1 of The Vampire Diaries, is in mourning after Klaus drowned Ty’s mom, Carol, at the winter wonderland event. Plus, he discovered that his good friend, Hayley, had tricked him and her betrayal led to Klaus killing all of his wolf pack.
Hence, Tyler wins this round for worst week ever. (Sorry, Matt! Maybe next time.) The only thing the poor hybrid has going for him in upcoming Season 4 episodes is that Caroline Forbes is going to be less Team Klaus and more Team Tyler. (Forwood time!) She’s going to set aside the post modern snowflake analyzing and Original ballroom waltzing to comfort her main squeeze. Here’s what TVD’s showrunner, Julie Plec, dished to Hollywood.com in a recent interview:
What’s Tyler’s mindset once he finds out about his mother?
Tyler’s first order of business actually is to mourn. This is the last thing he ever expected that would happen, and the loss of his mom is a pretty powerful thing for him. When we come back we’re going to see he’s not actually doing so well. He’s got some stuff to deal with before he’s going to pull himself together.
Is it safe to say the cure is the last thing on his mind?
Oh yeah, for sure. He’s if anything reeling and looking over his shoulder wondering if Klaus is there to chop his head off. Also, I’m sure [he's] trying to figure out if there’s any move he can make or anything he can do to regain the upper hand against Klaus, although it looks pretty bleak. It’s not without its solutions, but it ain’t pretty.
How is the state of his relationship with Caroline?
It’s currently a little bit tested because of the events of this episode, but thankfully they were able to make things right with each other before tragedy struck. Caroline’s going to be more concerned about him when we come back and really want to reconnect with him and make him open up to her so that she can help him heal from this experience. Ultimately, both of them as we get deeper into the next chapter, will have to finally sort of face the Klaus problem head on and figure out what to do.
Caroline had warmed up to Klaus recently; how has that changed?
Well, I definitely think it’s a setback. [Laughs]
