Candice Accola, Katerina Graham and Kayla Ewell have been helping to promote the awareness of Lyme disease, with Candice blogging about her friend contracting the disease, and Katerina and Kayla contributing by making public service announcements videos. We have Katerina’s videos below, and will post Kayla’s when they’re posted.
Lyme disease is an insidious condition contracted through the bite of an infected tick. Anyone can contract it and, if left undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, it can cause severe health problems and even death. Head on over to LearnAboutLyme.com to get caught up on the facts. And don’t forget to check out Lymenaide’s ‘Paint May Lyme Green’ campaign, where you can promote the cause and also donate to it. You can also check out the Lymenaide YouTube channel for other PSAs and Lyme stories.

If you prefer to be surprised and don’t want to go into the rest of the season with your opinions influenced by fans gone wild with speculation, then you probably don’t want to go past this point.

DonateMyDress.org is a campaign designed to encourage girls around the USA to donate their prom and special occasion dresses to those who cannot afford them for prom, sweet 16, quinceañera or formals. In order to fund dress drives around the country, they have auctions for people to buy dresses donated by celebrities. Vampire Diaries stars Sara Canning and Kayla Ewell have both donated dresses to the cause, along with other celebrities such as Twilight’s Ashley Greene, and singer Leona Lewis (whose cover of Snow Patrol’s “Run” was featured in the most recent episode of the Vampire Diaries, “Fool Me Once”). You can go directly to the auctions for Sara and Kayla‘s dresses, or check out the other dresses in the catalogue. Auctions end when the Vampire Diaries returns on March 25th.

As we get closer to the end of the season, speculation runs rampant about Vampire Diaries‘ May 13th finale. TV Guide talked to Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson and they expand on earlier teases (some from PaleyFest) with more info about “Uncle John” Gilbert (David Anders), whether Jeremy will finally learn the truth about vampires, and something book fans will recognize:
TVGuide.com: What should we expect in the season finale?
Plec: What we’ve been building to from the beginning — it’s something we took directly from the books — is this event called the Founders’ Day Celebration, which is the anniversary of the founding of the town. We’re looking into big period costumes and Civil War reenactments and maybe some parade action with some big floats. It’s going to be the big event that connects us back to 1864 and what went down back then. It messes things up so when we come back in Season 2, everyone has a reason to tune in again. There are nine “oh my God” moments.
Read the entire interview at TV Guide.
And Ausiello has more info on the finale from Kevin and this clarification from Julie on why Vicki won’t be back:
“We are not adverse to bringing people back from the dead,” says exec producer Julie Plec, “but we would not do it with the first tragic death out of the gate. In the future, we absolutely will use those mystic tricks, but not with Vicki — as much as we loved Kayla [Ewell]. It would ruin the impact.”

Seventeen Magazine is filled with Vampire Diaries goodies in the shape of Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev. Paul is asked a few juicy questions, while Nina is featured in a more in-depth interview.

MaximoTV caught up with Kayla Ewell at QVC Red Carpet Style on Friday, and she talked about how she’s technically not allowed to talk about any possible return for Vicki Donovan. Personally, we think that Vicki as we knew her is, alas, no more. But who knows if she’ll be back as a ghost or in a flashback? We’re all down for ghosts in the Vampire Diaries; Grams and Vicki can hang out haunting Mystic Falls and attend the weekly ‘Dead by Damon’s Doing’ support group together.
