Mason Ashford is the final word good man, and he’s going through some critical romantic woes in the previous couple of episodes of Vampire Academy season 1. HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Andrew Liner forward of the October 27 finale about Mason’s future with Rose, that showdown with Dimitri, and extra. So, what’s the cope with the Mason-Rose-Dimitri love triangle?
“I feel that love can ebb and circulate in a bunch of various methods. Perhaps at one level, she did love him in the way in which that he loves her, however I feel that love can develop into its personal factor,” Andrew mentioned about Rose’s emotions for Mason. “While you genuinely love somebody, it received’t ever depart. It is going to simply morph into one thing else. I feel that’s an essential factor to have a look at. I feel they're buddies and that love won't ever die. However I feel as a result of Dimitri is within the image, I feel that’s the love that we’ll need to be for proper now. I feel Mason’s okay with that, or he will probably be finally.”
Meredith pleaded with Mason to finish issues with Rose due to Rose’s emotions for Dimitri. Meredith occasion informed Mason that Rose didn’t love him. Andrew weighed in on whether or not or not he thinks Mason finally believes Meredith.
“It’s really fascinating. We had a really comparable scene in [episode] 8 that obtained reduce with me and Meredith, and it was sort of a precursor to the scene in 9,” Andrew defined. “I do agree with them for chopping it, although I beloved the scene in it. We’re each crying in it, and it’s simply tremendous emotional. However I don’t assume it’s crucial as a result of I really feel like you may sort of see that Mason is aware of and he has identified eternally. It’s simply that fixed denial and that fixed I don’t wish to consider it, so I’m not going to even give it an opportunity. I feel he’s undoubtedly conscious. He simply is making an attempt to make excuses for himself. However it’s a difficult place to be in as a result of, on the identical time, Rose isn’t giving him a flat-out reply. It’s tough and simply heartbreaking.”
Mason and Dimitri did have a confrontation about Rose, and it ended with Mason delivering an enormous “f**ok you” to Dimitri’s face. “That scene was actually tough for Kieron [Moore] and me as a result of it was the primary time that we actually spoke to one another. We’ve had these glances at each other the complete season, after which this was our first time talking. I feel it was for probably the most half all respect. The subtext of that ‘f**ok you, Dimitri” was extra like, ‘I’m damage as a result of she picked you.’ I don’t assume it’s extra outwardly like, ‘F**ok you, Dimitri. You’re a bit of sh*t.’ I feel it’s extra inward and extra simply situational as a result of I don’t assume Mason has something towards Dimitri apart from the truth that he and Rose are clearly in love with each other. That was a difficult scene. Marguerite [MacIntyre] and I had been speaking about it lots. Why does he say “f**ok you?” I feel that we went forwards and backwards with it lots, however I feel we landed on the subtext simply being like that is what heartbroken is.”
However how way more can Mason take? “I imply, I’m fed up with it at this level. Andrew Liner is,” the actor quipped. “No, I don’t know. I feel a variety of us have been there, so once you’re that tied up in somebody you’re probably not seeing straight. And then you definitely open your eyes and it’s like, oh, it’s been two years of my life. What's going on? I wish to say he’s fed up, however I don’t know.”
He added, “I feel you’ll see in episode 10 if he’s fed up or not. I feel that’ll be a really huge level as a result of I really feel a minimum of in my previous relationships I fought for them, I fought for them, I fought for them till a sure level the place I do my final huge I’m preventing for you. If it’s not obtained then I’m accomplished. I’ll offer you every little thing and that’s my very last thing, after which I’m accomplished. I feel Mason may be getting that time at some point.”
Followers of Richelle Mead’sVampire Academy novels know all too effectively about Mason’s destiny. Nonetheless, showrunner Julie Plecrevealed at NYCC that the present will method Mason’s loss of life in another way than within the ebook.
When requested if Mason survives the season, Andrew replied, “I don’t know. You’ll need to see episode 10. I feel individuals should make up their minds if he makes via. Episode 10 is a cliffhanger, so we’ll see. I’d like to do a season 2. We’ll see if that’s permitted, however sh*t goes down in episode 10.”
If Mason does dwell to see season 2, Andrew desires to see much less of “unhappy boy Mason.” He informed HollywoodLife, “I’d prefer to discover why was high of the leaderboard, why he is likely one of the most promising novices. I don’t wish to see him hung up on, like Meredith mentioned, a lady who doesn’t love him. There’s lots to discover. I’d prefer to discover a variety of man-on-man friendships. That’s one thing we don’t actually get an excessive amount of of. We get some moments between Mason and Christian and Dimitri and Christian. There’s a variety of potential for exploring these several types of relationships, however I wish to see extra of the harder, much less emotional components of Mason.”
