Sara Canning talks with CW Source about age differences, parenting skills, “The Thesis,” ex-boyfriends, being a teenager at heart, and how Jenna is always wondering, “Am I doing the right thing?”
Thanks to everyone who let us know the video was up!

Thanks to a few extras tweeting from the set today (the internet is a magical and very public place!), we now have a title for what we believe is episode 12 (production #111): Unpleasantville. Makes sense given one spoiler that has been floating about since last week (which you can see in the Spoiler Zone).
UPDATE: Thanks to Julie Plec, we also have the title for episode 11 – Bloodlines.
Starry Constellation Magazine is interviewing Zach Roerig tomorrow and they’re taking your questions! Hit them up on Twitter: @StarryMag. And The VRO will also be interviewing Zach soon and are taking fan questions. Send ‘em to vro@thevro.com. Make sure you get them in by Monday. The interview airs on November 24th.

The cast of the Vampire Diaries will be answering fan questions tomorrow. If you’re on Facebook you can leave your questions in a comment on their post on the subject, or you can tweet #tvdquestions along with your question to @CW_network if you’re on Twitter. They’re a little vague as to when exactly we’ll be seeing the answers to these questions, so we’ll do some investigating and then let you know.
Saturday Night Magazine interviewed Candice Accola, asking her about Caroline, her feelings before the pilot ratings came in, working on the show, and keeping quiet about spoilers:
Is it tough to keep any spoilers falling into the wrong hands?
Nope. We kind of live in our own working bubble here in Atlanta so there isn’t much of a chance to give away spoilers. We’re also kept in the dark until the scripts are perfected. So we don’t know too far in advance what’s going to happen. It keeps everything very exciting.
Read the entire interview, and thanks to @CW_VampDiaries for the link!

The November 23rd issue of TV Guide Magazine (out Friday) contains a Vampire Diaries sneak peek (re: SPOILERS) at the show’s return in the New Year, and the clues dropped are sure to make the wait ’til January even more excruciating. (Thanks, Denise!)
Highlight for spoilers (this includes tomorrow night’s episode – so if you don’t wanna know, don’t read!):
- Julie Plec says “all will be revealed” about a vampire’s return and Alaric’s motivations.
- Elena and Stefan are “on the outs.”
- Elena joins Damon for “a little adventure” to visit a witch (Gina Torres). “The big question: Is Elena willingly with Damon or is he controlling her since she’s lost her vamp-blocking vervain?”
- Bonnie will try using her developing witch-skills to keep the vampire tomb sealed.
- Matt and Caroline will get closer.
- What really happened to Vicki will be revealed and it will put all relationships at risk.
Speaking of magazines, you might want to pick up a copy of People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue (Johnny Depp on the cover) when it hits stands this Friday. It has a section devoted to vampires, featuring stars of Twilight, True Blood, and yes, Vampire Diaries.
For anyone who missed E’s “10 Vampires We Love” special on Monday night, you have plenty of opportunity to catch a repeat. Thanks to Zap2It for the schedule and @CW_VampDiaries for the heads up. You can see snippets from the Kevin Williamson and Ian Somerhalder interviews on E’s website. (There’s also an interview with Anne Rice where she utters the words “Vampire Diaries” – I think a piece of my brain actually broke off.) Hopefully the entire segment will surface soon, as it features sound bites from Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, Zach Roerig, and Kayla Ewell. While Ian was featured at #10 on the “Love” index, the piece was really about the show as a whole, and there were some fun facts (most previously known), including:
- Kevin Williamson and True Blood executive producer Alan Ball are neighbors.
- The blood mixture includes raspberries.
- Julie: “First thing [Kevin] said was call the True Blood guys and find out what they do because their blood is awesome.”
- Kevin explains that they hired the True Blood special effects team and told them, “whatever you do, keep it different, so we can keep our show special and unique.”
- Vampire Diaries uses several editors who also work on True Blood.
- Red contacts that cover the entire eye and fangs are the only “real” effects, the rest being CGI.
- The sound of a vampire’s bite? Celery. (Ha!)
And finally, an AP video interview with Ian: “Damon just wants his girl back. And he wants his brother back. And he’s going to stop at absolutely nothing to get ‘em.”

Candice Accola recently guested on KTLA news to chat about the Vampire Diaries and be quizzed on vampire trivia.
The CW Connect interviews with Steven R. McQueen and Sara Canning have finally been uploaded to YouTube. Given it’s been so long, we’ll post them here rather than just updating the old post. Steven talks about Jeremy, Vicki, and that he’s sorry he’s not Margaret (though we don’t think he really needs to worry, a lot of fans are really liking Jeremy); Sara talks about Jenna as a person, the challenges she faces, and shooting in Atlanta.

Many thanks to the ever-awesome @CW_VampDiaries for the headsup! KTLA have been broadcasting live today from the set of the Vampire Diaries, interviewing various cast members from the set of Stefan’s bedroom (which, as many know, is a set that both Vee and I really love). For those of you who don’t live in LA, or missed it, KTLA have posted up videos of the interviews with Ian Somerhalder & Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, Katerina Graham, and Candice Accola & Zach Roerig. We’ll update this post if and when KTLA upload videos with the rest of the cast.
Update: (thanks, killerchopsticks!) Michael Trevino & Steven R. McQueen:

Zach Roerig is going to be appearing in the December issue of Indonesia’s men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine, DaMan. The article will contain an interview, along with an exclusive photoshoot (one picture here), and if any of our Indonesian readers want to scan the article and share it, then that would be awesome.
Mr. Roerig also managed to sneak in an interview with NY PIX Morning News over on WPIX a few days ago to talk about the Vampire Diaries and his character, Matt Donovan. Check out the video below.

This week’s edition of Soap Opera Weekly features Vampire Diaries on its cover and a revealing interview with executive producer Julie Plec. She talks about the major events of The Turning Point, changes from book to screen, and why Damon’s every motivation can be traced back to Katherine.
“It’s going to be really interesting exploring that side of his humanity, because it runs so deep and it’s so profound that it actually make him even crazier and more evil than you might think,” warns Plec. “He’s willing to do anything and everything in the name of love!”
Click the images to see bigger versions in our Gallery. Thanks to Denise for the scans.
And yes, you read that opening paragraph correctly – looks like The Vampire Diaries does indeed start its holiday hiatus after next week (we haven’t seen CW’s official word on this yet, but it’s the first time we’re seeing it in print). That means Nov. 19th’s The Turning Point is the last new episode until January 2010. Keep in mind that the CW launched Vampire Diaries early. We’ll update with an official network release when we have it.

TV Guide has a Q&A with Matt Davis, who makes his Vampire Diaries debut tonight as Alaric Saltzman, Mystic Falls’ new History teacher. He hints at Alaric’s motivations, his past, his (possible) future with Jenna, and the on-running joke on the set.
TVGuide.com: Is Alaric a good guy or a bad guy?
Davis: It’s not so clearly defined. He has a dark side, and I think he’s not always going to do the right thing. How that compels him remains to be seen.
The NY Post’s PopWrap chats with Kevin Williamson about everything from possible guest stars and killing people to the show’s chosen “staking” effects and Elena’s parents. He also clarifies exactly who is included in the founding families and his favorite character(s) to write for:
PW: Is Damon your favorite character to write for?
Kevin: Clearly I enjoy writing him, but more than that I love putting the brothers together because they’re so different and opposing. The more you put Stefan with Damon, the more Stefan comes to life in these future episodes. I’m having fun opening him up because that’s the ultimate arc. Stefan’s going against the grain by denying his nature and everything he knows. He’s got the true inner struggle, which is what takes us over the long haul, whereas Damon will always be Damon.
And finally, Vee had a chance to interview Benjamin Ayres (the late Mr. Tanner, whom Alaric is replacing at MFHS) earlier today. She needs to transcribe the whole thing, but here’s audio of him talking about how he came to be involved in the show and his frustrated vampire ambitions.

Damon Salvatore has made Entertainment Weekly’s Best Bitches list, which will be featured in the magazine’s latest issue (available from tomorrow). There’s an amusing article on the subject up on their PopWatch blog in which we learn all about Ian Somerhalder’s reaction to fans asking him to bite them, and why he has to politely turn them down.
“One of them is legality. Another may be the fact that they’re extremely young and their 6’4″ father’s standing there with a baseball bat. Or that they’re married. Or that my lovely and wonderful girlfriend is standing next to me going ‘Uh-uh, it ain’t gonna happen.’”
Executive producer Kevin Williamson was recently interviewed by Jim Halterman. The interview covers what attracted Kevin to the Vampire Diaries project, the books, the story, flashbacks, gay characters (there’s apparently a storyline with Caroline’s dad coming up), and, of course, that really ugly cast they have working for them. ;)
JH: The back-story element with Damon, Stefan and Katherine is so rich. Is that something we’re going to see more of this season?
KW: I think we’ll see more of that periodically. We’re doing another flashback episode right now – episode 12 – and we’re actually going to go back in and show a little bit more and open it up a little bit. I think it’s important to do it if it’s going to propel our story forward.
Finally, there are CW Connect interviews with Sara Canning and Steven R. McQueen up on the CW website. Steven talks about Jeremy, Vicki, and that he’s sorry he’s not Margaret (though we don’t think he really needs to worry, a lot of fans are really liking Jeremy); Sara talks about Jenna as a person, the challenges she faces, and shooting in Atlanta. We’ll embed the videos for everyone to see when they’re uploaded to YouTube.
