When they visited the set of the Vampire Diaries not so long back, Seventeen asked the cast a bunch of questions that fans had put forward for them, including whether or not the guys had to get shirtless when auditioning.

 
And don’t forget that Seventeen are offering one lucky reader and a friend a chance to visit the set of the Vampire Diaries in Atlanta Georgia. You have to be a female between the age of 13 and 29 and a resident of the USA to enter. Sorry international, male and older fans. Maybe we’ll get our chances another time. ;)

The Hollywood Reporter’s Philiana Ng (@insidethetube – follow her on Twitter!) has posted two more PaleyFest red carpet interviews. The first has Julie talking about what Katherine may be doing now, Damon as hero?, Tyler’s future, when we can expect the werewolf element to surface (at the earliest), Matt/Caroline, and who’s going out on a double date?

And Kevin talks about what’s in store for Bonnie as we head towards the season finale.

And thanks to Vampire Diaries Show, we have over 100 HQ photos from the PaleyFest red carpet/panel up in the Gallery.

Michael Ausiello has a teaser picture of David Anders guest starring as Elena and Jeremy’s uncle Jonathan. According to the article, even Jonathan has his own agenda for coming back to Mystic Falls.

The Alias and Heroes alum makes his debut in the April 15 episode when it comes time for Elena and Jeremy to sell their father’s doctor office. “He has to sign the escrow papers but he isn’t quite ready to give the office up,” explains fellow e.p., Kevin Williamson. “But like everyone else in town, he’s there for something [else]. His intentions are not pure.”

Looks like Damon has scared anyone off who might be planning to visit Mystic Falls for fun. ;)

 
According to TV Guide Magazine, actress Spencer Locke has been cast as Amber Bradley, a beauty pageant contestant who will turn up in a late-April episode titled “Miss Mystic Falls”.

We already knew Paul Wesley was attending, but now Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev have also been added to the Australia Vampire Diaries event being held by Hub Productions in Sydney and Melbourne in July.

Finally, TV Guide Magazine spoke with the Vampire Diaries gang on the red carpet at PaleyFest, and have posted video for you to enjoy containing that, along with some snippets from the panel itself.

There’s a lot of redundant stuff out there from PaleyFest, so I’m throwing the big ‘uns up now (most of which we’ve been retweeting on Twitter the past few days) and then I’ll add to this post with more linkage and fun stuff after I do my own write-up (which, honestly, I’m not going to tell you anything these people haven’t said, so expect something a bit more personal). But the below provides a pretty clear picture of the actual panel and there are a lot of video chats with Ian, Nina, Paul, Julie, and Kevin, where they drop some cool information.
