On Thursday, January 12, 2012, Joseph Morgan represented The Vampire Diaries at the 2012 Winter Television Critics Association, where he joined Supernatural‘s Jared Padalecki, Nikita‘s Shane West, Hart of Dixie‘s Wilson Bethel, and Gossip Girl‘s Ed Westwick on the Bad-Ass Boys of the CW panel. We live-RTed many of the critics in attendance and we’re collecting some of the commentary here. (And be jealous of the nifty planners the CW handed our, featuring network characters/quotes.)

If you haven’t tried out the Vampire Diaries Stakeout over at the CW, you may want to give it a try. Every week they do a little puzzle or game that, when completed, unlocks some kind of behind-the-scenes goodie. This week’s clip features Julie Plec and Caroline Dries, and focuses on a much-discussed moment between Damon and Elena that happened in last week’s episode.
Spoiler warning applies, but if you’re up to date on the show and want a little preview of tonight’s episode, get on over there and give it a go! Hint: this week’s game is like a witchy version of Mad-Libs, get creative for hilarious results.

The CW has released the official synopsis for The Vampire Diaries: Bringing Out The Dead (EP313), airing Thursday, February 2nd. Highlight for spoilers or head over to the Episode Index:
A FAMILY DINNER — Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) delivers some disturbing news to Alaric (Matt Davis) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) about the weapon used in a recent murder. In the Salvatore brothers’ escalating quest to kill Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Stefan (Paul Wesley) turns to Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Abby (guest star Persia White), while Damon (Ian Somerhalder) reaches out to an old acquaintance for help in setting up an elaborate plan. Intent on a plan of his own, Klaus hosts a strange dinner party, where he reveals another story from his family’s violent past until an unexpected guest brings the party to an end. Meanwhile, Caroline (Candice Accola) is heartbroken when she is unable to stop a tragedy from unfolding. Zach Roerig also stars.
The episode was directed by Jeffrey Hunt and written by Turi Meyer & Al Septien.
We posted this info on Twitter last week, but there will be no new episode of TVD on Thursday, January 26th. The CW will be airing the film The Covenant.
