Vampire Diaries TV recapper Carina MacKenzie’s interview with Nina Dobrev is up at the LA Times. They cover a lot of ground, from auditioning, living in Atlanta, and leaving Degrassi, to her inspiration behind Katherine, Elena’s discovery about her resemblance to Katherine in The Turning Point, and what fans can expect in upcoming episodes. (She also divulges her favorite episode so far.)
You’ve got a rare opportunity as an actress to be able to play two characters in one show and explore the different ways that Elena and Katherine interact with the brothers. Is there anything that Elena and Katherine have in common?
At this point, I don’t think so. At one point, Stefan describes Katherine and then he talks to someone else about Elena, and he points out their differences. Katherine was very conniving, she was narcissistic, she acted out of her own benefit and for her own selfish needs. She used these two boys as her toys. They were toys for her, and she had a lot of fun with them. I’m so lucky — I just love this show.
Digital Spy’s Tube Talk has posted their own interview with Nina, where she gives her thoughts on Elena’s future, her relationship with Stefan, and pulling double duty in playing both Elena and Katherine. Check out the piece and watch the interview below:

You have to give the Vampire Diaries a lot of credit for many things – writing, acting, directing – but we’ve got to say we really appreciate their attention to set detail. From Stefan’s room, props in “Family Ties” and the lush costumes used in flashback scenes. The sneak peeks for “Children of the Damned” (episode 13) that we’ve had so far appear to be the tip of the iceberg, because these new episode stills are full of some amazing costumes. Click on the thumbnails below, or head over to our “Children of the Damned” gallery.
UPDATE: As if the stills aren’t enough, BuzzSugar has a great quote from Nina Dobrev about Katherine (via the TCAs) that we hadn’t seen before. Spoilery!
Nina on what we can expect from Katherine: “There’s going to be an episode soon where you see a lot more Katherine. And you see how crazy she is, and how everything she does is for herself. Like boys, and how she likes to use them for her toys. They’re just there for her amusement.”

Thursday night marks the final encore of the excruciatingly long Hiatus from Hell – The Turning Point, which you guys voted your favorite episode of the series so far. As you peruse that laundry list of lingering questions you had after the original airing, rejoice that next week is finally – FINALLY – January 21st. That means Bloodlines (EP11) kicks off the 2010 chapter of The Vampire Diaries. And we’re not saying this is going to happen – so don’t come ’round with the pitchforks if it doesn’t – but who knows? Maybe the CW will have a nice Bloodlines surprise for us tomorrow night. We can hope, right?
On that note – what are YOU looking forward to? (Your most anticipated storyline not listed? Let us know in the comments.)

Keck’s Exclusives is reporting that Sterling Sulieman (All My Children and soon to be seen on 24) will be be playing a vampire who used to be a Union soldier in an upcoming episode of the Vampire Diaries. It seems his appearance will be linked to Katherine’s tomb, so we’ll be interested to see how that develops. The actor tweeted to say that he’s had his vampire eyes fitted and is heading off to Atlanta on Monday. Welcome to the Vampire Diaries family, Mr. Sulieman. We hope you have a blast.
There’s a curious tidbit posted up on Megabuzz that comes up in relation to Katherine’s reappearance on the show, though isn’t actually about Katherine herself (highlight/mouseover to view the spoiler):
Is it true that we’re going to see Katherine again on The Vampire Diaries? — Beth
MICKEY: Yep, and much sooner than you think! Plus: Since this is a show about the walking dead, keep your eyes peeled for another assumed-dead lady to order a very rare filet at the Mystic Falls Grill very soon.
Let the speculation begin!
Finally, good news for Swedish fans. The Vampire Diaries is set to air in Sweden on February 11, at 8pm on TV6. Many thanks to VampireDiaries.se for passing along that information.

Courtesy of @LilMissX, we have a still to share with you from “Children of the Damned” (ep 13), the next flashback episode of the Vampire Diaries. The picture features new character Pearl (Kelly Hu), Katherine looking stunning, and Damon in a lovely red… waistcoat… sorry, zoned out there. Waistcoat pr0n does it for us every time. ;)

For those who weren’t aware, the Television Critics Association Press Tour is under way, and the panel for the Vampire Diaries took place today. Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder were all there, along with executive producers Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec and Bob Levy.
The panel was only 30 minutes long, but there were all kinds of tidbits thrown out into the Twittersphere. On the virtually spoiler-free front:
- Julie Plec confirmed that those synopses that have been floating around on IMDB are as fake as a very fake thing.
- The writers are going to address why exactly Stefan and Damon can’t trust each other.
- Alaric is going to start featuring more in the second half of the season, when we’ll discover why he came to Mystic Falls.
As for the spoilery… highlight/mouseover to find out:
- There are no plans to turn Elena into a vampire any time soon.
- We’ll be seeing some Damon and Katherine kissing action.
- Things are going to be hotting up between Damon and Elena as they start to address that love triangle thing.
- The second half of the season will see “Damon finally having to step up and act like a big brother when something huge happens to Stefan.”
- Bonnie and Elena’s relationship is set for a rocky patch. Kevin Williamson says that now Bonnie is aware of vampires “she has to make a choice, is she down with it or is she going to have a problem with it?”
- Damon’s going to continue to be very interested in Bonnie – she’s going to be important in getting that tomb open.
You can read more details about the panel over on the TV Addict’s live blog post, and if you’re looking for pictures of the event, Zimbio have got some up of everyone on the panel.

As many of you have undoubtedly heard by now, The Vampire Diaries is a contender in the People’s Choice Awards. We first relayed their potential nomination in the Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show category weeks ago and encouraged you to vote – and vote you did! The Vampire Diaries not only made it into that category – where it’s up against Heroes, Lost, Supernatural, and True Blood – but it’s also up for Favorite New TV Drama (along with Eastwick, FlashForward, Melrose Place, Mercy, The Forgotten, The Good Wife, Three Rivers, NCIS: Los Angeles, and V). We think you know what to do: VOTE!
UPDATE: Looks like the Sci-Fi/Fantasy category is mobile-only. Sorry for the confusion!
TV Guide’s MegaBuzz has another Kevin Williamson-sponsored tease for upcoming episodes:
“We have another flashback episode scheduled,” says executive producer Kevin Williamson. “We’re going to learn more about the night [Stefan and Damon] died.” This flashback will give us more information about Katherine, which will eventually lead to a surprising reveal about the Elena doppelgänger.
Thanks to Denise for hooking us up with a few scans from the upcoming issue of TV Guide Magazine. First up, we have the inclusion of Vampire Diaries in a piece on how vampire shows are “hotter than hell,” and then a piece from Matt “I talked so much smack about this show after the pilot” Roush in which he changes his tune – for the most part.
Thanks to Marcos Siega for clarifying the director line-up for the next handful of Vampire Diaries episodes. J. Miller Tobin (Supernatural, Cold Case, did we mention Supernatural..?) is helming episode 11, the aforementioned Liz Friedlander will direct episode 12 (we incorrectly said episode 11 – oops!), Mr. Siega himself will step back behind the camera for episode 13, and Julie Plec mentioned some time back that Vampire Diaries editor Josh Butler will handle directing duties for episode 14 (re: production code 113).

We tweeted this last night, but in case you missed it, via TV Guide’s MegaBuzz: a fan’s Vampire Diaries theory and Julie Plec’s sly spin on the issue.
UPDATE: And via Ask Ausiello: Find out why you shouldn’t miss this week’s episode OR next week’s.

Vampire Diaries Web is about to make a whole lot of you very, very happy: flashback stills from episode six, “Lost Girls.” I’d write more but I am making total flail-y hands over Stefan’s hair and Damon in uniform (called it, Red!) and KATHERINE. I expect to be nigh-on useless for the rest of the evening. There’s a few taster photos below, and see the full set over at VDW. (I expect we’ll have some higher quality versions soon.)
UPDATE: Higher quality images added to the “Lost Girls” album in our gallery.

According to Marcos Siega, shooting for episode one of the Vampire Diaries begins in four weeks. From the way those dates stack up, it looks they’ll be heading off to Georgia (where Julie Plec is currently scouting for Elena’s house in Atlanta, if she isn’t lost in the airport) to start filming and then flying back for the panel at San Diego Comic-Con. (Who will be attending the panel is not yet known.) Quite what this means for the rumours that the pilot will be shown at Comic-Con remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, Kevin Williamson is busy staying up late and working on the next episode, even if he is taking breaks to watch True Blood. We’d say he was paying far too much attention to the wrong vampires, but as it’s True Blood, we think we can let it slide. ;) [Um, I watch True Blood, too! -Vee]
On a tangent, we’re still getting a lot of comments on the subject of Elena not being blonde and how that ‘ruins’ the whole plot regarding Katherine. Putting all feelings of disappointment over Elena not being a blonde aside, we just want to say that Nina Dobrev is featured in an old photograph as Katherine in the extended trailer, and will have brown hair and eyes for both roles. The plot still works, they’re just both brunette instead of blonde. Hopefully that fact will help alleviate the worries some people have on the issue.
