"Vampire Diaries star Daniel Gillies has dropped hints about the season finale. The actor recently confirmed that he will reprise his role as vampire Elijah in the climactic episode &amp;#039;The Departed&amp;#039;.   &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t say [what will happen],&amp;quot; Gillies told E! Online. &amp;quot;But at this stage, if you were Elijah, wouldn&amp;#039;t you just want to get the hell out of a place causing so many problems?&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;Elijah really has a thing for Elena (Nina Dobrev) if he&amp;#039;s sticking around.&amp;quot; Gillies recently confirmed that he is still committed to The Vampire Diaries, despite signing up for a starring role in NBC medical drama Saving Hope. &amp;quot;Fortunately we film at different times during the year,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m deeply indebted to what [The Vampire Diaries] has given me, but [Saving Hope] takes precedence.&amp;quot; The Vampire Diaries third season finale airs on Thursday at 8/7c on The CW. In the UK, the series airs on ITV2. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
