Read what The Vampire Diaries actress Janina Gavankar can tease about Qestiyah’s season 5 arc – and her potential romance with Stefan.
In The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 3 “Original Sin,” we learned that the new character Tessa (Janina Gavankar) was in fact Qetsiyah, returned from Purgatory to exact vengeance on Silas (Paul Wesley).
Speaking to TV Guide, Gavankar reveals a number of interesting tidbits about her character’s arc, including what might happen between herself and Silas’ doppelganger Stefan.
She thinks that Qetsiyah developing feelings for Stefan is, “inevitable,” but adds that, “she has a lot of restraint. But it is hard. You’ll see moments of her staring at him and trying not to fall in love.”
As for Damon (Ian Somerhalder), we might expect Qetsiyah to develop a soft spot for him because she believes they are both standing in the way of the inevitable. “She identifies with Damon a lot,” Gavankar explains, and therefore, “she feels bad for him.”
Don’t expect these personal connections to slow her down, however. Gavankar describes her character as, ” a bit extreme and scary and ruthless,” and warns fans that, “she will kill anyone who stands in the way of her ultimate goal no matter who they are.”
The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 4 “For Whom the Bell Tolls” will continue exploring the doppelgangers and their seemingly inevitable romantic reunion. It airs Thursday at 8/7c on The CW.
