Thanks to KryptonSite, we have the trailer for next week’s episode, “Family Ties” (below) and also the official synopsis for episode six, “Lost Girls” (which was directed by Marcos Siega and written by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec). This is the episode that a lot of fans have been waiting for. Why? Flashbacks, baby! You can read the synopsis over on the episode index if you want to know a few more spoilery details.
The ‘exotic, exquisite Katerina Graham’ chatted to Stardish Radio earlier this evening, and she proved to be a very cool lady. It’s impossible to summarise the show (it’s an hour long, after all), but it’s full of Vampire Diaries goodness, with a range of topics, including: Katerina’s music career, her taste in fashion and design, auditioning for the Vampire Diaries, Bonnie’s background, changes from the books, and working with everyone on set. You can listen to a recording of the show over on the Stardish Radio website.
Finally, Pop Vox has an interview with Ian Somerhalder, who goes into some more detail about the difficulties of auditioning for Damon:
How did you end up in The Vampire Diaries?
I desperately wanted it. My girlfriend and I were in the desert in Vegas, and I realized I’d missed this meeting. My agent called me back and said, “They need you there at 11 in the morning, having memorized nine pages of the script.” It’s now 9 o’clock at night in Vegas. We got up very early and I drove across the desert while she slept. I taped my pages together; that’s how I worked on the material.

“Rising Star” Paul Wesley talked to Access Hollywood about the success of the Vampire Diaries TV series, old friends getting in touch, and how viewers are responding to his portrayal of Stefan:
“I had to work so hard to get this role… that when I did finally get it and I got on set, it was sort of one of these things where I just felt so challenged that I almost never settled in and went ‘OK, I can enjoy this. I can relax,’” Wesley, who is currently filming the sixth “Vampire Diaries” episode, said. “He’s a very complex character… and I’m starting to really figure him out.
“People are really responding to Stefan and I’m just now starting to go, ‘This is nice, this feels good, this feels really like, nice to have people appreciate this character,’” he added.

NYLON’s The Insider has a Q&A with Candice where she talks Twilight and True Blood comparisons, being a Japanese pop star, what Vampire Diaries‘ blood tastes like (Nina says it tastes like pancakes), and Caroline Forbes:
I know you can’t talk too much about your character yet, since you don’t want to give anything away, but your manager told me she’s like the Spawn of Satan?
She’s not the Spawn of Satan! No! She’s just misunderstood! Seriously, she’s just got a lot going on. And I love playing her. The lines I get to say, you know, it’s fun to be sassy or unapologetically conniving and manipulative.
Katerina will be sitting with Star Dish Radio tonight to talk about her film/TV/music career and playing Bonnie Bennett on Vampire Diaries. It’s a live interview set to begin at 10 p.m. ET. If you have a question you’re dying to ask her, the call-in number is (347) 945-5423.
Ian talks to New York Mag’s Vulture about Vampire Diaries and Lost:
What was it like for you the first time you saw yourself in the vampire makeup?
It’s a lot of fun because the second that the eyes and the teeth go in, I become a complete different person, and there, all of a sudden, seems to be this license to do things and manipulate people and be somewhat scary. And it’s kind of powerful at times, especially with the lighting and everything. I mean, I notice on set when I have all this makeup on, some of the other cast members are definitely affected by the look of it. It’s a simple look, but it’s very specific and it looks very real, very natural.

L.J. Smith talks to MTV about Twilight, her writing hiatus, Damon in Shadow Souls, and the Vampire Diaries TV series:
If Smith unabashedly favors the bad brother in her books, she’s also becoming a big fan of him on the small screen too. “I especially like Damon; Ian Somerhalder does very well,” she said. “But I really, really like the Elena that they picked, Nina Dobrev. Even though she’s brunette, and not blond, which took some getting used to for me, she’s a great actress. And I love the Stefan that they’ve picked. I just think that they’ve done a terrific job of interpreting it for TV.”
