Other TVD cast members and crew who showered Paul Wesley with support included executive producers Caroline Dries and Julie Plec, Marguerite Macintyre (Sheriff Forbes) and Michael Malarkey (Enzo). Even Michael Trevino, who portrays hybrid Tyler Lockwood, showed support but in a different way: pulling a prank on the newbie director.

Paul Wesley, 31, continued to share on his Instagram account to show the hard work he has been doing on the set as a first time TVD episode director. Click HERE to see the two images that Mr Wesley shared for the fans.

The actor has revealed that the directing responsibility entrusted to him made him both excited and nervous. "Even though I have been working in TV for years, it ended up being a blessing because I learned invaluable information. They finally granted me an episode, which was met with a great deal of excitement and nervousness on my part," Mr Wesley shared.

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 5 is set to return from a brief hiatus due to the Olympics on Thursday night, February 27, at 8 pm ET on the CW Network. Paul Wesley will return as Stefan Salvatore in the brand new Episode 14 titled "No Exit" where he is determined to find and save his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder) from his destructive killing-spree behaviour.
