The Vampire Diaries is back tomorrow night and we are rewarding your patience with some must-have Vampire Diaries goodies, courtesy of the CW Network. This round, in honor of Cassidy Freeman‘s TVD debut as Sage and those awesome shots of her in the boxing ring, we decided to have some fun with the citizens of Mystic Falls. If your favorite character was a boxer, what would their boxing name be? Would your money be on Matt “Hard Luck” Donovan? Carol “The Event” Lockwood? Or maybe Klaus “The Renovator”?
One grand prize winner will receive: The full-sized Season 3 promo poster pictured at left, signed by Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and Joseph Morgan. Two runners-up will win unsigned Season 3 promo posters. Wanna play?
THE RULES:
- This contest is open to international fans so EVERYONE can play!
- You must have a Twitter account and be following both @tvdnews and @CW_Network. (It’s important because we’ll be DMing the winners!)
- Copy and paste this tweet: [Your Character's Boxing Name Here] will win me a signed poster from @tvdnews! Watch #TVD1912 this Thursday, March 15 at 8/7c on the CW! You will replace the note in brackets with your character’s boxing name. EXAMPLE ENTRY: Klaus The Renovator will win me a signed poster from @tvdnews! Watch #TVD1912 this Thursday, March 15 at 8/7c on the CW! Be funny, be clever, be creative!
- Be sure you copy and paste the entry above as you must have the hashtag #TVD1912 and @tvdnews and include a character’s name (doesn’t matter if it’s first or last name or both, just make sure it’s clear what character you’re referring to).
- You have until Thursday, March 15th at 8pm ET to tweet your entries.
- Winners will be chosen at random and notified via DM by Tuesday, March 20th and will be announced on the blog when we do our round-up post on Wednesday, March 21st.
- Enter as many times as you’d like, but please do not go overboard spamming us with entries. Be reasonable. And have fun!
While Team V-D.net will be choosing the three winners randomly – one grand prize winner and two runners-up – we will be featuring our favorite entries overall on the blog. If you don’t win this round, don’t fret! Because you’ll have another chance next week.

Zap2it spoke with Paul Wesley about what’s coming up for Stefan in the next few episodes, including his relationships with Elena and Damon and his blood addiction issues. On the brothers’ view of their romantic situation:
“I think they’ve come to this silent understanding of the fact that they both are in love with the same girl,” Paul laughs. “They just allow it. To be honest, it’s almost like Stefan allowed Damon to step in. I mean, that was Stefan’s girl, and now Damon is suddenly a real factor, he’s really in the picture.”
And why he likes playing the Ripper:
“I really just enjoy [Ripper Stefan] a lot more. You play a vampire on screen, and when you have to play a good vampire, you have to fight your nature. Good Stefan doesn’t feel as natural in terms of what I want to be doing on screen, and what I want to be saying. I feel a little stifled, myself, whenever he’s resisting the urge to do vampiresque things.”

The CW Network official YouTube account has posted a PaleyFest video with snippets of interviews with Julie Plec and several Vampire Diaries cast members, including Candice Accola, Nina Dobrev, Kat Graham, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, and Matt Davis. It also gives a glimpse into what the press line at an event like this is like!

Just a couple more days until 1912 (EP316), so hang in there! We know the waiting is hard, and apparently so does the CW. They’ve kindly released an episode preview with Julie Plec. We’re not sure if it helps with the waiting or makes us more impatient, you’ll have to watch it and decide for yourselves!

Yes, that’s right, folks. Bonnie Bennett does have parents, and tonight we finally get to meet the estranged Abby Bennett (not to be confused with our very own Abby, who was not Bonnie’s mother last time we checked. Though with this show, you never know). Alaric and Damon rekindle their bromance, whilst Stefan and Klaus squabble over those pesky coffins.
ITV2 will be displaying the Twitter #TVDUK hashtag during the episode, and will also be reading out the best or funniest tweet using the hashtag over the end credits. Be sure to tweet your reactions, and make sure you’re following @ITV2 for some entertaining keyboard mashing while you’re at it. As always, you can also follow us on @tvdnews.

Who can resist a photo booth? Not the Vampire Diaries cast members who went to PaleyFest, from the looks of it! Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, Matt Davis, Candice Accola and Kat Graham all posed for pictures during PaleyFest. Kat Graham is sitting pretty in hers, but some of her castmates (*cough*IanPaulCandice*cough*) get pretty silly for their pictures in the TV Guide Magazine Photo Booth.
