Oh, webclips, how we have missed thee. It’s a sure sign that the hiatus is almost over when the CW posts Vampire Diaries webclips for the following week’s episode on Fridays. Less than a week left, guys! Until then, enjoy these clips from “A Few Good Men”.

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.)

Kryptonsite has a handful of new images from A Few Good Men (and that’s on top of the new image of Stefan and Alaric that @LilMissX posted earlier today). See a few below and then see the rest over in the KS gallery. Warning: Some of the images are a little spoilery, so proceed with caution! This ep hits your TV on March 25th (three weeks!).

If you remember the CW’s T-Mobile video interviews with Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder, you’ll be happy to know they’ve added Steven R. McQueen, Sara Canning, Zach Roerig, Candice Accola, Katerina Graham, Matt Davis, and Michael Trevino. That’s a bunch of interviews to work through – so have at it!
Hot Topic has also posted their own video of the Los Angeles Hot Topic Cast Tour stop. Thanks to @jayyu_jp for the heads up!

MTV’s Hollywood Crush has an ever-so-rare chat with Steven R. McQueen about what’s in store for Jeremy on upcoming episodes of The Vampire Diaries. He has wonderful things to say about Malese Jow, who will be guest starring as Anna (J’s potential love interest?), calling her “very talented and very sweet.”
And we know from reading your comments in the blog and posts in the forum that what Damon did to Jeremy is a huge, HUGE point of interest, and you’ll be happy to know Steven plays a bit coy on that front (spoilery!):
It was way back in 2009, but you may recall that earlier in the season, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) pulled his special vampire brainwash-y powers out to erase Jeremy’s memory of his girlfriend Vicki’s death. The catch is, it’s not exactly clear what Damon did. “That’s something that’s going to unfold itself a little later in the series,” Steven said. “[Damon] did erase my pain and my grief and such, but I’m not sure what I can reveal of just how much he shut out of my memory — and if he put anything in there.” (Dun Dun Dun… )
And @LilMissX is being very, very good to Vampire Diaries fans in anticipation of the show’s return this Thursday. Check out our first look at Mia Kirshner as Isobel, Alaric’s wife, in this still (we know Isobel is set to debut in Bloodlines, but we’re not 100% positive that’s what the still is from) with Matt Davis (Alaric):
UPDATE: Thanks to KryptonSite, we now know the Alaric/Isobel still is from an upcoming episode called A Few Good Men.
According to this ITV2 press release, it looks like UKers can look forward to a Tuesday, February 2nd debut for The Vampire Diaries. And it gets better: The channel will be kicking off with a 9-11 p.m. double header of the pilot and Night of the Comet. Smart move, we say.
Speaking of air dates: The Vampire Diaries kicks off in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria tomorrow night! Though I suppose it’s already January 20th in your neck of the woods, so… Enjoy the show!
With all of the TVD cast appearances in magazines lately, we thought you might want to check out Katerina Graham pontificating on the particulars of her beauty bag in this Seventeen video, and Nina Dobrev Fan has nice, watermark-free scans from Nina’s very pink fashion spread in SELF.

Thursday night marks the final encore of the excruciatingly long Hiatus from Hell – The Turning Point, which you guys voted your favorite episode of the series so far. As you peruse that laundry list of lingering questions you had after the original airing, rejoice that next week is finally – FINALLY – January 21st. That means Bloodlines (EP11) kicks off the 2010 chapter of The Vampire Diaries. And we’re not saying this is going to happen – so don’t come ’round with the pitchforks if it doesn’t – but who knows? Maybe the CW will have a nice Bloodlines surprise for us tomorrow night. We can hope, right?
On that note – what are YOU looking forward to? (Your most anticipated storyline not listed? Let us know in the comments.)

Thanks to RadarOnline for dropping us a line this morning about their chat with Sara Canning. (Which perked us up, must say. Think the only thing rarer than a Sara interview is a Steven R. McQueen one – cough.) She talks about moving in with Nina Dobrev, adjusting to Atlanta’s decidedly non-Canadian weather, and hints that those meaningful glances between Jenna and Alaric might graduate to…oh, well, who knows with this show? At least she seems to love working with Matt Davis, whom she deems “hysterical.” (But will Jenna come up with a snappy nickname for Alaric? “Scumfell” was a beautiful thing.)
Canning is definitely having fun with her role despite not being one of the high school characters. “I think Jenna is really fun to play because she is a parental figure on the show but is still really young herself,” the 22-year old actress said. “She is really feisty, spirited, and headstrong. And she’s still going through those rough patches with guys.”
Read the entire interview on RadarOnline.
The CW had a cocktail party following the TCA panel this past Saturday (Bloody Marys in honor of Vampire Diaries, nice one) and they’ve released some photos from the event, which you can view below, courtesy of Cynthia over at SFUniverse. (That’s CW president Dawn Ostroff with Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder). Note the Love Sucks threesome poster (the other one) – slightly different version than ones we’ve seen before.
@LilMissX has also posted some nice behind the scenes candids from TCA, including shots of Kevin Williamson and Nina, Ian with Dawn Ostroff and Nina and Ian playing with some Vampire Diaries promo goodies.
Lots of recaps coming out of the TCA panel, but this tidbit in particular gave us a good laugh this morning (and we’re begging the PTB to include this on the season one DVD set, por favor) – courtesy of Teen Television, re: on-set bloopers:
Paul: There was that blooper when you [Nina] were Katherine, and you had that really long dress and fell. She was trying to be all sexy.
Ian: Adorable and sexy.
Paul: And then she was “Boys, chase me”.
Ian: And then she like “wham,” and all you just see are her knickers.
Nina: And then I couldn’t get up because it was so much dress that I was just sitting there, like “save me.”
Paul: We’re hysterically laughing. Then we were like, “Are you okay?”
Ian: We didn’t even help her! It’s on camera. [She falls] and her petticoat goes up.

For those who weren’t aware, the Television Critics Association Press Tour is under way, and the panel for the Vampire Diaries took place today. Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder were all there, along with executive producers Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec and Bob Levy.
The panel was only 30 minutes long, but there were all kinds of tidbits thrown out into the Twittersphere. On the virtually spoiler-free front:
- Julie Plec confirmed that those synopses that have been floating around on IMDB are as fake as a very fake thing.
- The writers are going to address why exactly Stefan and Damon can’t trust each other.
- Alaric is going to start featuring more in the second half of the season, when we’ll discover why he came to Mystic Falls.
As for the spoilery… highlight/mouseover to find out:
- There are no plans to turn Elena into a vampire any time soon.
- We’ll be seeing some Damon and Katherine kissing action.
- Things are going to be hotting up between Damon and Elena as they start to address that love triangle thing.
- The second half of the season will see “Damon finally having to step up and act like a big brother when something huge happens to Stefan.”
- Bonnie and Elena’s relationship is set for a rocky patch. Kevin Williamson says that now Bonnie is aware of vampires “she has to make a choice, is she down with it or is she going to have a problem with it?”
- Damon’s going to continue to be very interested in Bonnie – she’s going to be important in getting that tomb open.
You can read more details about the panel over on the TV Addict’s live blog post, and if you’re looking for pictures of the event, Zimbio have got some up of everyone on the panel.

Wow. The January 21st episode of the Vampire Diaries is chock full of new faces – Noah, Lee, Bree, and now Isobel. According to the Ausiello Files Mia Kirshner has joined the cast as Alaric’s “sweet-yet-dangerous” wife, Isobel, and will make her debut in “Bloodlines”. Mia has appeared in The L Word, 24, and Paul Wesley fans will recognise her as his older sister, Ruby Cates, from Wolf Lake.
Is it January yet?
UPDATE: More (spoilery!) information over at E! Online.
UPDATE2: The LA Times has some more insight into Kirshner’s “last-minute casting” as well.
