HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Andrew Liner up of the October 27 finale astir Mason’s aboriginal with Rose, that showdown with Dimitri, and more. So, what’s the woody with the Mason-Rose-Dimitri emotion triangle?

Maybe astatine 1 point, she did emotion him successful the mode that helium loves her, but I deliberation that emotion tin turn into its ain thing,” Andrew said astir Rose’s feelings for Mason. “When you genuinely emotion someone, it won’t ever leave. It volition conscionable morph into thing else. I deliberation that’s an important happening to look at. I deliberation they are friends and that emotion volition ne'er die. But I deliberation due to the fact that Dimitri is successful the picture, I deliberation that’s the emotion that we’ll person to beryllium for close now. I deliberation Mason’s good with that, oregon helium volition beryllium eventually.”
Meredith pleaded with Mason to extremity things with Rose due to the fact that of Rose’s feelings for Dimitri. Meredith lawsuit told Mason that Rose didn’t emotion him. Andrew weighed successful connected whether oregon not helium thinks Mason yet believes Meredith.
“It’s really interesting. We had a precise akin country successful [episode] 8 that got chopped with maine and Meredith, and it was benignant of a precursor to the country successful 9,” Andrew explained. “I bash hold with them for cutting it, adjacent though I loved the country successful it. We’re some crying successful it, and it’s conscionable ace emotional. But I don’t deliberation it’s indispensable due to the fact that I consciousness similar you tin benignant of spot that Mason knows and helium has known forever. It’s conscionable that changeless denial and that changeless I don’t privation to judge it, truthful I’m not going to adjacent springiness it a chance. I deliberation he’s decidedly aware. He conscionable is trying to marque excuses for himself. But it’s a tricky spot to beryllium successful because, astatine the aforesaid time, Rose isn’t giving him a flat-out answer. It’s tricky and conscionable heartbreaking.”
Mason and Dimitri did person a confrontation astir Rose, and it ended with Mason delivering a large “f**k you” to Dimitri’s face. “That country was truly tricky for Kieron [Moore] and maine due to the fact that it was the archetypal clip that we truly spoke to each other. We’ve had these glances astatine 1 different the full season, and past this was our archetypal clip speaking. I deliberation it was for the astir portion each respect. The subtext of that ‘f**k you, Dimitri” was much like, ‘I’m wounded due to the fact that she picked you.’ I don’t deliberation it’s much outwardly like, ‘F**k you, Dimitri. You’re a portion of sh*t.’ I deliberation it’s much inward and much conscionable situational due to the fact that I don’t deliberation Mason has thing against Dimitri too the information that helium and Rose are evidently successful emotion with 1 another. That was a tricky scene. Marguerite [MacIntyre] and I were talking astir it a lot. Why does helium accidental “f**k you?” I deliberation that we went backmost and distant with it a lot, but I deliberation we landed connected the subtext conscionable being similar this is what heartbroken is.”
But however overmuch much tin Mason take? “I mean, I’m fed up with it astatine this point. Andrew Liner is,” the histrion quipped. “No, I don’t know. I deliberation a batch of america person been there, truthful erstwhile you’re that tied up successful idiosyncratic you’re not truly seeing straight. And past you unfastened your eyes and it’s like, oh, it’s been 2 years of my life. What is going on? I privation to accidental he’s fed up, but I don’t know.”
He added, “I deliberation you’ll spot successful occurrence 10 if he’s fed up oregon not. I deliberation that’ll beryllium a precise large constituent due to the fact that I consciousness astatine slightest successful my past relationships I fought for them, I fought for them, I fought for them until a definite constituent wherever I bash my past large I’m warring for you. If it’s not received past I’m done. I’ll springiness you everything and that’s my past thing, and past I’m done. I deliberation Mason mightiness beryllium getting that constituent astatine immoderate constituent soon.”
Fans of Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy novels cognize each excessively good astir Mason’s fate. However, showrunner Julie Plec revealed astatine NYCC that the amusement volition attack Mason’s decease otherwise than successful the book.
When asked if Mason survives the season, Andrew replied, “I don’t know. You’ll person to spot occurrence 10. I deliberation radical volition person to marque up their minds if helium makes through. Episode 10 is simply a cliffhanger, truthful we’ll see. I’d emotion to bash a play 2. We’ll spot if that’s permitted, but sh*t goes down successful occurrence 10.”
If Mason does unrecorded to spot play 2, Andrew wants to spot little of “sad lad Mason.” He told HollywoodLife, “I’d similar to research wherefore was apical of the leaderboard, wherefore helium is 1 of the astir promising novices. I don’t privation to spot him hung up on, similar Meredith said, a miss who doesn’t emotion him. There’s a batch to explore. I’d similar to research a batch of man-on-man friendships. That’s thing we don’t truly get excessively overmuch of. We get immoderate moments betwixt Mason and Christian and Dimitri and Christian. There’s a batch of imaginable for exploring these antithetic types of relationships, but I privation to spot much of the tougher, little affectional parts of Mason.”
