Orlando native Candice Accola talks to the Orlando Sentinel about the Vampire Diaries, playing Caroline, what to expect in upcoming episodes, and where Matt and Caroline are headed for the rest of the season.
Q. What’s the appeal of playing Caroline?
A. “I loved Caroline from day one of auditioning for the pilot. I loved her vulnerability and her brutal honesty and that’s relatable. She’s trying to make everyone happy and make herself happy and make everything perfect the same way it’s playing out in her head. I think a lot of girls in high school have these thoughts and scenarios in their mind. They hope it works out in the real world, and it never does. As the season has gone on, her perspective is growing. Viewers will see a lot of growth in Caroline.”
Read the rest of the interview over at the Orlando Sentinel website.
Based on the popular books by Thomas E. Sniegoski, “Fallen” centers on Aaron Corbet (Paul Wesley, “The Vampire Diaries,” Extra’s Breakout Star of 2009), a high school student with a promising future. Aaron harbors a secret crush on Vilma Rodriguez (Fernanda Andrade, “CSI: Miami”), a classmate from Brazil, and the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. On his 18th birthday, Aaron has more than unrequited love to occupy his mind when he learns that he is a nephilim — a “Redeemer” — who can return fallen angels to Heaven. Aaron holds the world’s destiny in his hands, as he battles warrior seraphs and ultimately confronts the diabolically proud angel that has tormented his dreams (two-time Emmy-Award winner Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad,” “Malcolm in the Middle”).

We’re feeling all sorts of nostalgia right now with the chatter/photos coming out of Covington, Georgia – season finale filming is almost done. You’ll notice we haven’t been blogging said photos or some of the recent finale spoilers. This was a judgement call on our part. The photos are spoilery and showcasing them here on the front page of the site seemed unfair to those who really want to be surprised by what’s coming. That being said, if you eat spoilers for breakfast, it’s a total free-for-all in the Spoiler Zone of our forums. But keep in mind: Take everything with a grain of salt.
As we tweeted this morning, The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season is available for pre-order on DVD and Blu-Ray. The U.S. Amazon store has had a Vampire Diaries DVD pre-order listing for a while, but the Blu-Ray listing seems to be a recent addition. Still no concrete release date or U.S. cover art but we expect that will be surfacing soon. For those who asked about the pricing – as Craig pointed out, Amazon has a pre-order price guarantee. If the price drops before the item ships, Amazon honors the lower price.

You’ll notice the U.K. listing features cover art – we don’t know for 100% certain that it’s legit. We’ll clarify as soon as we know for certain.

Julie Plec is interviewed in Variety about social media and the rising profile of TV showrunners as celebrities. The article’s a great read and Plec in particular talks about the Vampire Diaries fandom, Twitter, and instant feedback.
“The whole TV and film industry is built on focus groups and test screenings,” Plec says. “In my opinion, watching a Twitter feed during an episode of our show is a built-in focus group. They react to everything — and it’s fascinating because (over time) you get to witness your fan community as it builds and grows.”
READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AT VARIETY.
Last night’s ratings are in and There Goes the Neighborhood rounded up 2.8 million viewers according to TV By the Numbers. (We expect the DV-R ratings will knock that up quite a bit.)
For those of you who missed it in North America, you can watch it online:
USA: Download from Amazon for $1.99
(Yeah, Canadians, we don’t know why CTV doesn’t have the episode up yet – sorry. And UKers, it’s not up on iTunes yet either. Lame.)
And finally – Fancast ran this tidbit about the upcoming Vampire Diaries season one DVD earlier this week, (which we mentioned on Twitter and then didn’t blog because…well, see below the quote):
Hey Matt! We need some more ‘Vampire Diaries‘ scoop! – tvdfansonline via Twitter
I feel like the remainder of this season got sufficiently scooped at the recent Paley Center event, so instead I will share this about the freshman drama’s debut DVD set: As we speak, exec producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec and co-exec producer/director Marcos Siega are recording an audio commentary for the pilot, and there will be at least two featurettes. Look for Season 1 to hit stores in August.
The upside? Thanks to some clarification from the very nice people in Warner Bros.’ legal department on that non-disclosure agreement I signed, I’m allowed to say that I was interviewed for the special features back in early February. The downside? That’s all I’m allowed to say about the Vampire Diaries DVD set. I KNOW. Though I think they won’t get mad if I tell you that the featurettes mentioned above are quite cool and those putting the whole shebang together are very cool people. August seems so far away now but I think you guys will be more than happy when you’re holding that DVD set in your greedy mittens.
