Wetpaint snuck in an interview with Malese Jow right before she left for this weekend’s convention. She talked about her excitement about her trip to France, her return to the show, and more.
What she’d like to see now that Anna’s back:
I’m really crossing my fingers for some more flashbacks because there are a lot of questions that myself and the viewers have that would be really cool to touch on as far as what is the relationship with Katherine and you know, and Damon and Stefan and my mom. There’s a lot of stuff that we didn’t get to know about Anna. But it would be really interesting to see, I feel.
And on kissing Steven McQueen:
What’s it like to kiss Steven? Oh, my gosh. Well, Steven and I, we knew each other before I came onto the show and whenever he found out that it was me and I showed up for my first day, it was like, oh, my gosh, this is so awesome. And we were just immediately just so close from then on out. I mean, people would dread us having scenes together because it would constantly be a giggle fest and we had millions of inside jokes. So, kissing him was… it was just natural. I mean, I was so comfortable with him that it wasn’t an awkward thing. He is a good kisser, girls. Yes, I will give him that. And he’s very charming. So it’s definitely not a hard thing to interact with that face.

Wetpaint has an exclusive interview with Kayla Ewell about her return to The Vampire Diaries as Vicki . . . or Vicki’s ghost? Or something.
“I think what’s interesting about Vicki coming back is that it’s not just solely about Jeremy. It’s about having unfinished business with my brother, Matt (Zach Roerig), and my ex-boyfriend, Tyler (Michael Trevino). There are just so many different ways to go with the story. And after my little talk with Kevin Williamson I think they’re going to do some really fascinating things. There’s going to be so many twists and turns — even just talking to him about it I had butterflies in my stomach! I was just so excited about the ideas they’ve been tossing around. So we’ll see what they come up with, but I just know that Kevin and Julie will do a fantastic job whatever they decide.”

Have I ever wanted to know Polish this badly? Wow. Paul Wesley is in Poland supporting his friend Jan Kaczmarek’s film festival, which is coming up in a few weeks. Paul is serving as the Ambassador to the event, you can check out the info for the festival at www.transatlantyk.org. FYI, the website isn’t 100% reliable, it seems inclined towards crashing, but they also have a YouTube channel that’s working fine.
For more footage from the same press conference, there’s another video and article here. The article is entirely in Polish; the video has some English from Paul, though he is frequently translated over. Thanks to @Shirarose1 for the link!
