"Katherine is the one person on the planet who would hate to be human more than anything, who’s always been a survivor and so fierce and such a fighter and now she is having to be vulnerable and killable, yet all of her evil deeds of the past coming home to roost. It’s going to be great opportunity for story. Not only is she on the verge of getting her ass kicked every single episode, she’s going to need protection and who better to seek out for protection than the brother Salvatore who has been so good at caring on and off for her over the centuries?"
