We’ll get the bad news out of the way with first. Yes, the Vampire Diaries is going on hiatus again. Thursday night’s “Fool Me Once” will be the last episode until March 25, when the series will return with the next new episode, after which it should be running straight through the final eight episodes without a break. For those wondering why the long break, blame those pesky Olympics. Understandably the CW doesn’t want to be pitching brand new episodes against the Olympics because the ratings will suffer. The extended hiatus also allows the CW to take advantage of airing the final episodes during the May sweeps period.
Now on to the good stuff with a bunch of videos. First up, JSYK have a tour video from the set in Atlanta, taking you through the topsy-turvy world that becomes various Mystic Falls locations on our screens.
Speaking of set visits, CW Star’s Annie spoke to Sara Canning on her visit to the set of the Vampire Diaries, and you can watch the video below:
Finally, thanks to Denise for sending us a link to the PIX news feature on the recent Hot Topic cast tour stop in New Jersey (final stop in LA this weekend – is everyone ready for it?):

Katerina Graham appeared on KTLA recently to talk about the Vampire Diaries, and you can watch the video of it below. Thanks to @CW_VampDiaries for the heads up.
Thanks to Denise for letting us know about this. UK newspaper “The Independent” has some Vampire Diaries features up online. There’s a short video featuring Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley (sorry, no embed options), and also an article all about the show.
…it’s worth noting Williamson and Plec’s recognition that a world with vampires in it should not ever be too cosy recalls not Twilight but that other great icon of teen vampire stories, Buffy. Williamson agrees. “What I loved about the L J Smith books was the folklore they created,” he says. “We wanted it to be a modern-day, sort of sexy soap opera. The town of Mystic Falls has a lot of things that go bump in the night, and it’s not just vampires. It’s got a little bit of Buffy where there’s that mythology that goes beyond vampires. There are all sorts of creatures of the night yet to emerge.”
Nina Dobrev is featured on the cover of the February issue of Indonesian magazine “Go Girl!”. For those of you who understand Indonesian, you can read the entire article here. Thanks to @DesiPuspandini for the scans!

“Children of the Damned” blow you away? Can’t wait until next week’s episode of the Vampire Diaries? We bet this preview for “Fool Me Once” will just make the wait even more agonising. ;) We’ll replace this with a better quality video when one appears. UPDATE: Better version!
