First off, BEWARE OF SPOILERS IN BOTH ARTICLES.
Still with us? Good! If you’re little confused about where we left off a few weeks ago, don’t worry, Entertainment Weekly is ready to catch you up -and vault you forward- before tonight’s episode. They’ve got some great insights from Julie Plec about what’s ahead as we return to Mystic Falls. From the sound of things, life is about to get pretty interesting for one Mr. Alaric Saltzman.
…”But it’s going to be fun to see Alaric, after all this time [RIP, Jenna], notice a beautiful woman in his vicinity and have a response to her. He’s become more and more of a guardian figure to Elena and Jeremy, and so, of course, Elena is gonna be rootin’ for him to have someone.”
TV Line is also looking ahead, and they also went to Julie for some answers. She’s got some things to say about Elena and Damon, a possible romance for Klaus, and Tyler’s new sire issues. She’s also got some dish about the coffins that’s sure to get fans’ attention.
“At least one of those daggered Originals is coming out of those coffins,” teases Plec. “That will happen sooner than later.
Which Original is getting unboxed? We have no idea and Julie won’t say, looks like we’ll all just have to watch and see. Good thing it’s Thursday, just a few more hours to wait!

A reporter from the New York Times Syndicate recently caught up with Nina Dobrev by phone from the set in Atlanta. She had some nice things to say about the show’s passionate fans, and also spoke about the challenges inherent in playing both Elena and Katherine:
“So it’s been more about learning to manage time and learning when to let go. I’m a perfectionist, I put 110 percent into everything. Trying to do that for two characters, I’ve been putting in 220 percent. It’s been a lot of work, but really cool. It confused me sometimes, early on, and I learned, when you’re doing something like this 10 months a year for possibly six years, you have to preserve your energy. I feel like it’s been acting boot camp. I’ve done everything on this show, a lot of things many actors don’t get to do throughout their whole career. So there’s nothing I can’t do or achieve after this.”

Screeners for the January 5th episode of The Vampire Diaries, The New Deal (EP310), were sent to select TV bloggers/reporters today, and KSiteTV has a (mildly spoilery) preview of what TVD fans can expect when the show returns next week.
7. Shippers will be happy. Which shippers? The CW gods said not to tell… but I can say at least three fan-groups get to see their favorite characters interacting. The choice of names that Klaus lists as “Elena’s loved ones” is also particularly interesting. And some shippers might want to get their screen-capturing software handy.

Hiatus drags on, but every day we’re getting closer to January 5th and the return to Mystic Falls. To help tide you over, Zap2it has some insight from Julie Plec about what’s coming up for Caroline and Tyler, why Elena and Alaric are getting worried about Jeremy, and some hints about Bonnie’s as-yet-unseen mom.
“Tyler and Caroline have a lot to overcome,” Julie says. “Because Tyler, on his own, has a lot to overcome. It’s pretty bleak, right now, and it’s only going to start to get bleaker before it gets better. “
In case you missed it, Persia White has already been cast as Bonnie’s mom, and we can’t wait to see her in action when the show resumes!

Are you salivating for a taste of what The Vampire Diaries will be serving up when it returns from hiatus on January 5? If so, head over to Zap2it: they’re serving up an interview with Julie Plec. On Damon and Elena:
“When we come back in Episode 10, Elena and Damon are finding themselves in these moments where the romantic tension is a little bit deeper and the physical tension is a little bit hotter . . . They have to work together against Klaus, so they keep finding themselves in these moments that they’re now both free to act on, without guilt.”
And on Klaus’s new strategy:
“[Mayor Lockwood] says, ‘Klaus has offered to leave me, my family, and this town alone if you can get your brother to behave.’ So we start to see this manipulation that Klaus has in the town of Mystic Falls, and now that Stefan’s pushing back, Klaus is able to step forward and say, ‘Hey, I’m not here to cause a problem! Stefan Salvatore is the problem.’”

TV Line caught up with Julie Plec yesterday for a tidbit or two about what’s to come when Vampire Diaries returns on January 5th. Seems as though Stefan will be keeping busy in his mission to outwit/outplay Klaus and some people aren’t terribly happy about it. And as for other “tensions”:
“When Elena and Damon finally have the opportunity to confront [Stefan] about his recent actions, his response makes Damon think twice about acting on his feelings for Elena.”

We know you’re getting restless for the return of The Vampire Diaries, but TV Guide Magazine comes to the rescue with a brief preview of what we can expect starting Thursday, January 5th with The New Deal (EP310). Here’s a taster from the article (which also mentions Torrey DeVitto‘s upcoming arc and The Vampire Diaries coming in at #4 in the magazine’s Fan Favorites poll) via Julie Plec (out of respect for the UK viewers getting Homecoming next Tuesday, we’ll put it behind a spoiler block):
“Mystic Falls is in the hands of Klaus. Stefan and Klaus want to destroy each other, but they’re unwilling to face the consequences if things go wrong. It is a Mexican standoff.”
The piece also touches on what to expect with Elena, Tyler and Caroline, Alaric, and Bonnie and features a new episode still of Damon and Elena. Pick up the December 8-15 issue (Fan Favorite winner Community on the over) at your local newsstand. Thanks to Denise for the article!
If you’re keeping track, these are post-hiatus episode titles we know so far: The New Deal (EP310), Our Town (EP311), and thanks to director Jeffrey Hunt, we know he’s handling Bringing Out The Dead (EP313). (Speaking of, he’s tweeting from the TVD set, so follow him on Twitter: @HuntVision.)
UPDATE: And we can now confirm that EP312 is titled The Ties That Bind.

This is going to be one of those weeks where “Is it Thursday yet?!” becomes an endlessly repeated refrain. We’re almost out of our minds with excitement for Homecoming (EP309) and the episode is still several days away! We know we’re not the only ones who are pacing the floors waiting for Thursday, so hopefully this little clip from this week’s episode will help you through the next few minutes. Thanks to @xLuvDamonx for the heads up!
