According to the Ausiello Files, Sean Faris has been cast to play a new character named Ben, an ex-high school football star-turned-bartender at the Mystic Grill. It makes sense, because we don’t see Sheriff Forbes letting the last one out of lock-up for quite some time after serving drinks to minors in last week’s episode.
“He’s Matt’s buddy,” says a Vampire insider. “He gets entangled in the group when a broke Matt takes a job at the Mystic Grill.”
The Vamp source also hints at a possible romance between Ben and one of the show’s females. But which one? Let the speculation begin in the comments!
Vampire Diaries Online has an interview with Katerina Graham. The interview was conducted with the ever-awesome Ms. Graham by Kaylie Rodrigues for her school newspaper. There’s a whole lot of interesting stuff in there for Katerina Graham fans, from Bonnie and the Vampire Diaries to more personal topics of conversation. Head on over and check it out.
People Magazine has a fun little feature: 100 Sexy Men in 1 Minute. Mostly notable for the fact that Vampire Diaries‘ Mr. Somerhalder and Mr. Wesley both feature it in, but it’s also a bit of fun naming everyone who flashes by while trying to avoid a bout of motion sickness caused by the speed of some of the images. ;)
Finally, we have a scheduled release date for the TV series tie-in cover of Dark Reunion. Like The Fury, no cover yet, but you can get your paws on it on the 25th May, 2010.

I’m guessing Bonnie since it looks like Matt/Caroline is going to start happen (from the last episode and episode summaries). Jeremy is hooking up with Anna and Aunt Jenna will be dating Alaric in the near future with the pictures. Elena has Stefan & Damon on her hands.
Though its been said by Katerina that the writers said she won’t get action for a very long time. But they also say “possible” romantic love interest. Then again, the ‘females’ don’t necessarily include just the high school girls. Who knows, he might be hooking up with Sheriff Forbes ;)

Also, has it been noted what episode Sean Faris’s character will first appear in? And considering he’s probably supporting or recurring, he’ll be killed off somewhere down the line (if not in the episode he appears in). It may be a brief romance. Another one of my theories haha.

I agree with you – it will probably be Bonnie, which would definitely be interesting. :)
Which reminds me … RIP Reunion. :( I loved that show, and he was on it.

I’ll take back the part in the second sentence about being killed off in the episode he’s in. I didn’t read the muti-episodic arc–which doesn’t necessarily mean he is here to stay. But the writers can always change their minds. So Ben is recurring then.

Since the Sheriff arrested the last one for serving underage folks like her daughter, the Mystic Grill looks like it needs a new barkeep anyhow.

“…a broke Matt…” Looks like they’re definitely staying true to that part in the books. Poor Matt, literally.
