Is Damon Salvatore capable of love with a (gulp!).... human being?

According to Vampire Diaries producer Julie Plec, the answer is yes. Slowly. Eventually. She recently told Entertainment Weekly:

“We’ll see Damon start to look at Elena as more than just his brother’s girlfriend or the doppelganger to the love of his life. He’ll start to love and understand her as a human being, which is ironic because Damon could typically give a s–t about anything involving humanity. It’s some good stuff.”

We can't wait for it. The show comes back with a new episode on March 25, but fans can get a look at Vampire Diaries spoilers right now in anticipation of this return.
