Malese Jow and Kayla Ewell had some things to say to TV Guide about this week’s ghostly episode. Jeremy’s late loves have been causing a lot of chaos recently, but the actresses maintain that neither ghost is trying to be evil.

Upon their arrival as ghosts, Anna warned Jeremy that Vicki was surrounded by darkness. As Jow points out, “If people were gray about it before, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ made it black and white. Vicki had ulterior motives that weren’t very good.” But Ewell begs to differ. “Vicki has the best intentions, but doesn’t always handle them correctly,” she says. “It comes down to the fact that any of us would do anything to survive and if your life has been taken away and you get another chance at it, then you’re going to pretty much do anything,” she says.

Hear more from Malese Jow in this week’s Vampire Diaries Bite with Robyn Ross.

In E!Online Watch With Kristin‘s Spoiler Chat this week, we learn a little more about how much we’ll be seeing Anna and Vicki this season:

Also hearing Malese Jow (Anna) and Kayla Ewell (Vicki) will be in about a handful of episodes (somewhere around six) and they will be recurring throughout the season. So you’ll get some fun “dead chick” splashes there for a while, but they won’t be around enough to muck things up with Bonnie. Win-win-win.

READ THIS WEEK’S SPOILER CHAT AT E!ONLINE.

There’s also a new interview with Kayla Ewell at German site myFanbase. It doesn’t have much Vampire Diaries scoop we haven’t read elsewhere, but click over to read about her favorite TV show, the person she’d like to bring back from the dead, and more, including this behind-the-scenes nugget (translated by Google):

“We have a plaque on the set of Mystic Grill, and we have all painted on it and wrote our nicknames. So they remained untouched since the first day. There is a small insider gag that we have with the entire cast. If you look at many episodes, you can see it.”

Mystic Falls sure does have a lot of complicated sibling relationships! Living, undead, frequently-revived or ghostly, it seems all the brother/sister teams have a lot of issues to work out. Hollywood Crush interviewed Kayla Ewell recently, and from the sound of it Vicki’s spirit is as restless as ever.

“Did death reform her? Of course it did. But it didn’t change her completely,” Kayla said. “I’m still going to be a little bit of the trouble-maker, and I kind of just don’t know any other way to be.”

Hollywood Life and Wetpaint also interviewed Kayla, and she talks about her recent work on The Glades as well as offers up some fun facts about how the Vampire Diaries Team put together the Donovan family photo album.

They asked Zach and I if we had any photos of when we were little, like Christmastime and stuff like that, and they’re going to use those pictures of us.

Okay, pictures of Matt Donovan as a little boy? It’ll be the awwww heard round the world.
