New 'Vampire Diaries' Promo: Trouble For Damon & Elena In Season 5

Courtesy of The CW

Just when you thought ‘Delena’ could live happily ever after, along comes a sexy new — and by ‘new,’ I mean super-old — threat to their happiness!

Oh, CW, how you tease us! The network just released a brand-new promo for the upcoming fifth season of The Vampire Diaries on Facebook, and it’s choc-full of surprises — both good and bad. Not only does it introduce a potential threat to Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon’s (Ian Somerhalder) long-distance relationship, but it also finds a certain hunky Gilbert at death’s door. I know, again!

Five Tasty Bites From The New ‘Vampire Diaries’ Trailer

1. Damon and Elena share a saucy, long-distance phone call. “Look at you, giving it the old college try,” he tells her from Mystic Falls, though I’m not sure why they didn’t just FaceTime. That’s a missed opportunity for product placement right there!

2. Katherine tempts Damon. OK, maybe I spoke too soon. The second Elena asks Damon if their long-distance relationship can work, a hot-mess Katherine steps out from the shadows and Damon definitely seems uneasy.

3. Katherine invites ‘Stefan’ into her bath. All right, maybe Kat’s just willing to take any Salvatore she can get her newly human hands on. Too bad she doesn’t know Stefan (Paul Wesley) is actually Silas!

4. Jeremy crashes his car. We all know the Gilbert family doesn’t have the best track record — pun intended — when it comes to its automotive history, but I at least thought Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) could handle himself behind the wheel. Guess not!

5. Damon faces spell-mageddon. “If I hear the word ‘doppelganger’ one more time,” he says, “I’m going to have to learn how to spell it!” (Good luck, bro. It’s taken me years to master.)

OMG! Ian is getting even more gorgeous than ever (like that was even possible) so looking forward to season 5 and Damon and Delena.

So tired of the whole Damon/Elena/Stefan storyline. Writers do youselves a favor and have them truly pick already! Stefan is boring with means that he should be with Katherine to cancel each other out and the same goes for the awesome Damon with the sad wet kitten Elena. That way both relationships has a powerhouse and can make watching the couples fun! Tv these days… It’s a shame I remember back in the 90’s when you didn’t have to have a damn love triangle, no teens got pregnant, and no stupid celebrities had to guest appear to make people want to watch them back then because it was called GOOD TV. Not all this bs that’s out on the air today..

Damn that Julie Plec. She finally finally gives us Delena and then ships Elena off to college! Why????! I mean seriously, its not like they ever went to highschool, now you really expect us to believe they are going to take college lectures seriously? Whatever. I love Delena, and I know they’ll be amazing, but this college long distance thing is ridiculous.

I’m tired of the triangle formula. I hope they end this series on a high.

I think the long distance relationship is going to make Delena boring but with the new blonde guy I thihk things are going to be interesting.Still we all know at the end it will be Stefan and Elena.Delena is not possible but since is vampire diaries anything is possible.

Your entire comment was contradictory. Delena is obviously possible since they are together and unless you have a crystal ball that you can see the future, or are a TVD writer, you can’t possibly KNOW that Elena doesn’t stay with Damon. The only thing I agree with you on is the long distance thing, its just another pathetic plot device the writers are using to keep Damon and Elena apart. They need to have wiggle room for you Stelena fans. TVD has turned the show from exciting and dynamic to the longest drawn out decision on tv. They need to take responsibility for their decisions. If Elena choose Damon, let her BE with Damon, don’t play both sides just for ratings.

Reblogged this on aboutnici.

Katherine and Stefan are the hottest couple in there….
Damon and Elena…so boring…

That is so untrue! I love Steferine but Delena is just amazing…

lol! The only thing that was boring was Stelena, and that is not katherine and stefan , that is Silas, and they dont look anymore exciting either.

Delena is the most amazing couple on tv.

I LIKED STEPHAN AND ELENA 2GEATHER. DAMON AND ELENA ARE NOT AS GOOD. STEPHAN AND ELENA SEEMED 2 HAVE A GOOD THING-HE LISTENED TO HER AND WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY AND WAS’NT PATRONIZING. DAMON SEEMS SO SELFISH AND LIKE HER THOUGHTS ARE NOT IMPORTANT UNLESS IT IS CONNECTED TO ROMANCE OR TO HIM, HE WON’T EVEN TRUST HER TO TELL HER , JEREMY WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THIS IS WHATS UP!
