Spider from FearNet caught up with Paul Wesley on the red carpet at PaleyFest. Paul discusses Stefan as a romantic figure and bad boy, and gives his take on why Vampire Diaries fans get so defensive about those Twilight comparisons.

Twenty seconds of trailer for “A Few Good Men” last night not enough for you? Us, either. Here, have an extra ten seconds to drive yourselves nuts over with the extended trailer. ;)

 
The CW has also released the synopsis for episode 16, “There Goes the Neighborhood”, featuring more Kelly Donovan and some interesting dating news. Highlight/mouseover to reveal the details:

A NEW START — Anna brings a surprising guest along when she pays a visit to Damon. Elena and Stefan go on an awkward double date with Caroline and Matt, but Stefan and Matt find they have some common ground. Jenna reunites with her old friend Kelly, and Jeremy’s relationship with Anna takes an unexpected direction.

 
And finally, a roundup of interviews. Zach Roerig was recently a guest on the Friday Night Lights Fan Podcast. He discusses his former role as Cash on FNL and of course his current stint as Matt Donovan on the Vampire Diaries. Head on over to FNL Fans to listen. Nina Dobrev talks about what she expects to see in Elena’s future in five questions with TV Addict, Candice Accola talks to Orlando Magazine about her early career and growing up in Orlando (scroll down a bit for Candice’s section), and Paul Wesley sums up nicely what helps draw fans to the show.

“I think what the audience really loves about the show is how layered it is in terms of very gentle sarcasm and comedy. It just doesn’t take itself too seriously but yet serious enough. We’re all really proud of it.”

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. ;)

As we get closer to the end of the season, speculation runs rampant about Vampire Diaries‘ May 13th finale. TV Guide talked to Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson and they expand on earlier teases (some from PaleyFest) with more info about “Uncle John” Gilbert (David Anders), whether Jeremy will finally learn the truth about vampires, and something book fans will recognize:

TVGuide.com: What should we expect in the season finale?
Plec: What we’ve been building to from the beginning — it’s something we took directly from the books — is this event called the Founders’ Day Celebration, which is the anniversary of the founding of the town. We’re looking into big period costumes and Civil War reenactments and maybe some parade action with some big floats. It’s going to be the big event that connects us back to 1864 and what went down back then. It messes things up so when we come back in Season 2, everyone has a reason to tune in again. There are nine “oh my God” moments.

Read the entire interview at TV Guide.

And Ausiello has more info on the finale from Kevin and this clarification from Julie on why Vicki won’t be back:

“We are not adverse to bringing people back from the dead,” says exec producer Julie Plec, “but we would not do it with the first tragic death out of the gate. In the future, we absolutely will use those mystic tricks, but not with Vicki — as much as we loved Kayla [Ewell]. It would ruin the impact.”

For those of you who were dying for spoilers after the screening of “A Few Good Men” at Paley this weekend, TV Guide’s Megabuzz has some teasers for events that will be coming up in the Vampire Diaries.

Did Damon really kill Elena’s birth mother on The Vampire Diaries? I can’t help but feel like there’s more to this story. — Taryn
MICKEY: Well, yeah. When Diaries returns on March 25, we’ll learn once and for all who killed Isobel, and why. But you might be more interested in another shocking murder that takes place this spring. Don’t grieve too much for the victim; he or she will be miraculously brought back to life shortly thereafter. (For the record, we aren’t talking about a vampire “turning” here — he or she will really be alive again.)

 
Thanks to KryptonSite for confirming the title of episode 16: There Goes the Neighborhood.

Jen over at Nina Dobrev Fan has some scans of Nina Dobrev and Candice Accola, who were featured in NYLON Guys back in December, and she’s been awesome enough to share them with us.

 
And Seventeen has an interview with Katerina Graham up on their website.

17: How are you most like Bonnie?
KG: I’m really like Bonnie in terms of the relationship she has with her friends. She’s protective over her friend Elena, and the real-life relationship between Nina [Dobrev] and myself is the same; I would do anything for her, we’re really close. Bonnie is caring, and she’s compassionate, and she’s very much like me in that way.

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.
