Celebuzz catches up with Kat Graham to talk Bonnie, the Tyler and Klaus situation, witchcraft, and all things Season 4 premiere. Check out the video below!
HuffPostTV talks with Torrey DeVitto about Meredith’s character “trajectory,” action scenes, and more.
When we see Meredith in Season 4, are the Salvatore brothers really angry with her?
You know, I don’t think they’re too happy or pleased, but, here’s what everybody is missing: Had Meredith not done what she did, there would possibly be no more “Vampire Diaries” because Elena would be dead. So can we just give Meredith a little more credit here? [Laughs.] Come on you sexy little vampires — you’d have no girl to fight over so just get over it. [Laughs.]
READ THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW AT HUFFPOSTTV.
And NiceGirlsTV has more teases from the Comic-Con 2012 press room, courtesy of Nina Dobrev.
Elena may not be the first member of the Mystic Falls gang to grow fangs, but that doesn’t mean that her friends are going to necessarily be comfortable with her new life.
“Caroline kind of was accepted by the group as a vampire and I think for Elena, everyone is going to just be sad. They’ve just spent all this time doing everything in their power to protect her, and now she’s a vampire – so I guess she can protect herself.”

As if tonight’s season premiere wasn’t enough, Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first glimpse of Klaus and Elijah in 12th century garb (and hair!). In the accompanying video, costume designer Leigh Leverett talks about her style choices, and which character’s look was deliberately altered a bit from the period norm.
“I look at research from the period and find the best styles… that I think fit our show,” Leverett says about the three costumes she created for the episode. “We actually built all of this in our tailor shop.”
SEE THE FULL PICTURE, READ MORE AND WATCH THE VIDEO AT ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY.

Kat Graham has been doing some interviews teasing what’s coming up for Bonnie in season four, and it sounds like things will be intense. At Give Me My Remote, she talks a bit about the premiere, Growing Pains (EP401). “The first episode back was like being thrown into a pit of alligators.” And she says Bonnie’s getting a lot to do this season: “Right now it feels like Christmas.”
READ MORE AT GIVE ME MY REMOTE.
And over at The Examiner, she talks about Bonnie’s reaction to new character Professor Shane:
“If I had one word to describe when she feels when she sees Shane, it would be intrigued. This is a very educated person, and the last person that really knew what they were talking about when it came to anything really about the witch culture and all of that was her grandmother. She’s basically had to teach herself Witch 101.”
