Just off a successful fourth season, CW's The Vampire Diaries is already looking ahead to Season 5. One actress who will surely have her hands full in the upcoming installment is none other than Nina Dobrev, who dons the role of two characters in Elena and Katherine.

In a TV Guide interview that was posted on May 21, TVD executive producer Julie Plec had the following to say regarding the character development of both Elena and Katherine moving forward.

"One thing we're looking forward to so much next season is Elena on her own as a vampire and living her new in college ... And to see a vulnerable Katherine, who is able to be hurt and able to be killed and in need of the protection much like the first Elena we met four years ago," she explained.

Katherine will most certainly be looking to protect herself due to the hefty price she must personally pay with mortality.

Nonetheless, both Katherine and Elena will undoubtedly have their roles reversed in a drastic manner.

Although no airdate has yet to be announced, Vampire Diaries Season 5 is slated to begin in September. Keep checking back for more of the latest details.
