Relate Mag has a conversation with Sara Canning up (you’ll have to register to read the entire thing). She offers great insight into Jenna and how her time at Vancouver Film School helped prep her for the industry.
Relate: The Vampire Diaries was the biggest premiere the CW has had yet-how has that changed your life the most?
Sara: The really life-changing thing is actually having the privilege to be a series regular on a show that’s been so well received by its audience. It’s my first experience being a regular, and it’s been awesome having so much time to develop and get to know the role of Jenna, and really enjoy her story arcs.
And Digital Spy caught up with Jennifer Bryan, Vampire Diaries’ costume designer, who drops all kinds of interesting tidbits about what to expect as we head towards the season finale. She talks Melinda Clarke, her favorite character to dress, and quite a few other things. The interview is definitely spoilery, so proceed with caution!
Are the flashbacks going to become more and more prominent?
“Yes they are and they’re really stretching them out – you will start to see more of a connection between present day and flashbacks. There is a lot of crossover in the storyline. I can’t tell you any more though – I’ve probably given you too much already!”
Read the entire interview at DigitalSpy.

We have a handful of weeks to wait until the arrival of his character Jonathan Gilbert in Mystic Falls on April 15th (see a first look here), but David Anders recently spoke with Starry Constellation Magazine to talk Vampire Diaries. He drops some interesting tidbits about his role as Elena and Jeremy’s uncle, how he’ll be going head to head with Damon, Stefan, and Alaric, and how long we can expect Jonathan to stick around Mystic Falls (it’s longer than you’d think!).
Q. Executive producer Julie Plec has said your character will further complicate matters, can you tell us a bit more about your characters relationship with Damon?
A. Just like his great grandfather, the original Johnathan Gilbert in 1864, he knows far too much about vampires, more than he should know about vampires. So I’m a know-it-all and I hold the information that I have over Damon and Stefan’s heads threatening to expose them in Mystic Falls if they don’t play ball with me. There is a lot more than that which I can’t really go into.
Read the entire interview at StarryMag. Cool factoid: His girlfriend was a big book fan back in the day!

CW Source caught up with Paul Wesley on the PaleyFest red carpet and he talks about the conflicted nature of Stefan, killing other vampires, and why Stefan drinking human blood could alter his relationship with Elena. Oh, and then there’s the issue of Elena and Damon getting closer…

Thanks to Katerina Graham for giving everyone the heads up last week that she was featured in the new issue of Ebony (Sade on the cover). She posted a scan in her blog but we picked up an issue today to scan (support the mags that support the show, right?). We were especially surprised to learn she dropped out of culinary school three times due to other projects – very cool! (Her interest in culinary school, not that she was forced to drop out, obvs.) Click to see a bigger version in the Gallery.

PaleyFest last weekend was fun times, and considering I made it to L.A. despite being sick as all get out, you’ll forgive me for taking the past week to recuperate and throw together some thoughts.
First off, it was nothing short of a pleasure (finally!) meeting Niyah (@CW_VampDiaries), Craig (@KryptonSite), and Carina (@cadlymack), and great seeing Jen (@NinaDobrevFan) again. And of course my travel partners-in-crime, Connie (@conallen) and Lucia (@Heroine_TV), who weathered my sick, pathetic butt and made me laugh so much. This fandom has a core made of awesome, wonderfully witty, hard-working folks, and the above are all class acts. You guys made my trip, so thank you. (The rest of you – follow all of the above on Twitter!)
If you’re looking for a thorough PaleyFest panel recap, I point you no further than Lucia/Heroine TV’s excellent breakdown. She touches on everything worth noting during the actual panel, and I can’t disagree with (most of) her personal observations either. (By the way, I’m the arm she grabbed in the last moments of the episode screening, heh, but more on that in a minute.)
