The Vampire Diaries Fan Favorite Daniel Gillies Dishes on the Originals, Elijah & Elena and More!

Elejah?! Gillies is well aware that there are a lot of fans rooting for an Elena and Elijah romance on the show, but he says, "I don't see it happening from a writer's perspective. Do I see its potential for it happening? Absolutely. I can definitely see Elena and Elijah having some sort of romantic thing, but I've got to get in a line about five miles deep."

He's also well aware of the shippers who would like to see him with some of the other ladies in town. "People are always angry at me as an actor, saying that, to me, [Elena] seems like the most likely candidate. I'm saying that also because, not only does she represent this nobility, she's also the only one of that group that he knows," Gillies explains. "He doesn't really socialize with any of the other creatures. He's got a narrow window of options. A lot of the fans are looking at the show and thinking, Aren't there any other girls in this town? Why is everybody falling in love with this girl? I think it's the whole point. It's kind of Shakespearean like that."
