Hold on to your hats! We’re heading into the home stretch of the summer hiatus, and it seems like every day is bringing new info about season 3. We’ve seen our first glimpses in the new Season 3 Promo, and now Zap2It brings us some insight from Ian Somerhalder into what’s going on with Stefan, Damon and Elena as the season opens up.
“Damon knows this cycle with his brother,” Somerhalder tells us. “He’s seen it before, totally. He says to Elena, ‘Stefan’s not coming back. Not in your lifetime.’ I mean, she’s young, but human beings only live maybe eighty years. For Stefan and Damon, that’s nothing. Unless Klaus rips their hearts out, they’re going to live for another thousand years.”
Want to know what else Ian has to say about life with -or without- Ripper Stefan? Head on over to Zap2it and find out!

Elena’s hitting the big one-eight in season 3, and while I’m sure that most of us would be perfectly happy with Damon showing up naked with naught but a few bubbles clinging to him would be gift enough, Damon does in fact have something else up his sleeve for Elena’s 18th birthday present. Ian Somerhalder teased Zap2It’s Carina MacKenzie with some details. Carina says, “The gift will definitely remind us of Stefan’s absence, but we’ll say this about the scene: it’s practically tailor-made to be plastered all over your tumblrs, Damon/Elena fans.”
GET MORE DETAILS OVER AT ZAP2IT.

It’s the summer hiatus – and IT SUCKS. So to help wile away those lonely TVD-less hours as we await Vampire Diaries Season 3, we’ve rounded up a slew of guest bloggers (and huge Vampire Diaries fans) for a series called Ripping Open TVD. Each blogger will be focusing on one particular aspect of what we’ve just experienced in Vampire Diaries Season 2 and adding a hefty dose of Season 3 speculation. Remember: These are guest posts, so these are the opinions of the person writing them, not necessarily Vampire-Diaries.net. Cool? Cool. This week, Carrie Raisler, Vampire Diaries recapper/reviewer extraordinaire at The A.V. Club, takes issue with the “boring” label when it comes to the littlest Salvatore and explains why she thinks this complicated character is about to get even more interesting.
Before I started covering The Vampire Diaries for The A.V. Club last season, I didn’t have much of a gauge on what other people besides myself thought about the show. Sure, I vaguely knew there were Delena and Stelena shippers – as there are in any show featuring a love triangle – but beyond that most of the fandom was a blank slate, which, as a writer, was both a blessing and curse. Once the comments started rolling in on my reviews, however, I got quite a surprise when it comes to one Mr. Stefan Salvatore: a lot of people think he’s boring.
I was bewildered. How did everyone not see the strong and supportive yet slightly warped vamp I did? I do admit, when the show started I was more than skeptical. Having been an almost obsessive fan of Kevin Williamson’s Dawson’s Creek, the Stefan of the early episodes was a bit too close to an undead Dawson Leery for my Pacey-loving taste. But then, something amazing happened. Paul Wesley started to really bring it in his scenes. The writers began to emphasize his dark side a bit more. By the time the Katherine reveal was made in The Turning Point, it was pretty much cemented that Stefan Salvatore is not your run of the mill brooding, sulking vampire. Now, as a card carrying member of the Stefan Salvatore fan club I invented in my mind, I feel it is my duty to explain exactly why he can punch my dance card at a 1800s-themed Mystic Falls party any time.

TVLine caught up with Kevin Williamson at the TCA Press Tour and talked to him about what’s coming up for Damon and Elena in season three:
“It’s not so much about, ‘Are Damon and Elena going to fall madly in love and live happily ever after?’” says Williamson. “It’s, ‘Are Damon and Elena going to be able to find the man they both love?’ … It’s going to be fun to watch Damon and Elena form this relationship that at its core is about a search for the man they both care about.”
With Stefan gone, Damon and Elena will have to settle into a new dynamic.
“It’s about defining their roles,” says Williamson of the arc. “Are they going to be friends? Lovers? How are they going to define themselves? Because it will be a defining moment for both of them.”

The next round in the Television Without Pity Tubeys Finals is up. The Vampire Diaries has nominations in 7 categories this time, (but one of them makes me mad!) out of 13 total.
You have ONE WEEK to get your votes in for this round before the next batch on Monday, August 15th. A new round will post every Monday until August 29th.
The Vampire Diaries is nominated in the following categories for Round 3:
- Favorite Actor Ian Somerhalder
- Favorite Actress: Nina Dobrev
- Most Egregious Product Placement Bing, Ford, Mifi
- Best Single Episode (Drama): Masquerade; The Sun Also Rises
- Best Season Finale
- Most Welcome New Character: Elijah, Katherine
- Most Unwelcome New Character: Klaus
What?! Klaus as most unwelcome new character?! Hey now, the good (and bad) people of Mystic Falls may not have welcomed Klaus with open arms, but as a character he has done an excellent job of shaking things up and doing it with style. He’s also the driving force behind the greatly anticipated reemergence of Ripper Stefan, and I know a lot of us are certainly welcoming that! Let’s show some love for our one and only werepire, guys – vote for somebody else for that category.

Good things come to those who (impatiently) wait! TV Guide has the Vampire Diaries sizzle reel that was show at Comic Con this past weekend – and yes, it includes our very first five-second glimpse at Season 3 (or #TVDS3, if you will). Watch the entire video; new footage at the very end. Check it out below!
And Entertainment Weekly‘s Spoiler Room has two interesting tidbits: One from Nina Dobrev on an Alaric and Elena “adventure,” and about those Original flashbacks…
…when prompted for his outlook for the season, Joseph Morgan says he’s most excited to meet Klaus’ family. “We get a chance to go back and see the point where they became vampires and where the curse was placed on Klaus to suppress his hybrid nature, his hybrid side,” he told a roundtable. “It’ll be interesting when we introduce other originals who are possibly equally as powerful or have some sort of emotional hold over Klaus … to see what that brings out of him.”
