The Vampire Diaries cast have their own theories on what will happen in season 4 – and Paul Wesley’s is especially noteworthy.

Speaking to EW, Wesley sees an interesting way out of the major game changer that took place in the season 3 finale: Elena beginning her transformation into a vampire. Wesley says:

I think a lot of this season is going to be about how to fix the issue or deal with it somehow — maybe even reverse it. I am excited [about the change] but also a little concerned. One of the things that was so important about the show was that there was this innocent girl being infiltrated by these dark characters — these threatening, vicious beings — who were going to suck her blood at any moment and kill her. Now, that’s not a threat any more.

Do you share Wesley’s anxiety about the big change the Vampire Diaries world is facing?
