We got right down to it with Vampire Diaries producer Julie Plec in San Diego: How can we get Phoebe Tonkin to move to Mystic Falls?!?

Fellow producer Kevin Williamson teased this possibility a few weeks ago, and then couldn't hide his interest in the former Secret Circle star sticking around The CW when we brought it up again with him at Comic-Con.

So it's your move, Julie. Make her a witch. A waitress. A love interest for Damon. We'll take Tonkin however we can get her.

In this exclusive interview with Plec, she expresses her affection for Phoebe as well, while also touching on Elena's transformation and the new vampire hunter coming to down.
