Elena's relationship with Damon is heating up again on The Vampire Diaries, and while it's no good for the brunette vamp, it may just teach her a lesson.

"I think this toxic relationship with Damon will also teach her a lot," Nina Dobrev, who plays Elena, told HitFix at PaleyFest. "When you play with fire, you may get burned but it's also fiery and exciting too... She's going to learn a lot but it's definitely going to be a roller coaster for a while."

Yet, Dobrev also said that Elena has done a lot of growing up since the show first started: "She's a woman. She's grown into her own."

Damon and Elena's rekindled romance comes after a recent episode, in which Elena confessed her love for Damon and the two passionately kissed.

"They have to put on their big-boy and big-girl pants," Ian Somerhalder aka Damon, said about their characters during the PaleyFest panel discussion.

Dobrev added: "The problem is they keep taking their pants off and that keeps getting in the way of things."

--The Vampire Diaries airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW.
