The latest in the CW’s series of cast interviews, Claire Holt gives us a quick summary of what Rebekah was thinking on that bridge in “The Departed” and the luck of joining such a successful show.

After losing her brother in last spring’s season finale, Rebekah took to extremes and killed Elena to get rid of Alaric and free her family from having to run from him for the forseeable future. Claire defends her a bit by describing her crazy reaction as “After I lost my brother, I guess Rebekah didn’t care anymore, about the consequences, so that was why she did what she did.”

We can’t wait to see the Salvatore brothers first encounter with Rebekah after the dramatic events of the finale. While the clips released earlier this week of Elena’s discovery and Stefan and Damon’s discussion of it show that they are putting most of the blame on Stefan for not saving her, ultimately, it was Rebekah who caused the accident in the first place.

Claire also goes on to describe the questions she gets most often, including, “What’s it like to kiss Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley?” and “Everyone sort of wants to know what it feels like to be so lucky?” Both of which we are pretty sure we know the answers to.

How do you think the boys will react to seeing Rebecca the first time after Elena’s ‘accident’? Do you think Rebekah will have any sort of reaction to Elena’s new vampire status?
