Yahoo!TV’s has posted yet another exclusive clip from The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season DVD and this time the cast and producers discuss what sets the show apart as a television drama. Love this quote from Julie:

We always said in the pilot it’s a girl who feels dead inside and a boy who is dead inside and how they bring each other back to life.

BIG thanks to Denise for the heads up!

And thanks to @ara_celi for the heads up on this: Target will be selling an exclusive version of the Vampire Diaries DVD which includes footage from the Vampire Diaries panel at PaleyFest. This version of the set will only be available at Target.

Didn’t think we saw enough of the supporting characters last season? Want to know more about them? You’ll be pleased to hear that Kevin Williamson told Hollywood Crush that we’re going to be finding out a whole lot more about Matt, Caroline, Tyler and Bonnie this season.

Actually, Kevin said he’s excited to give the show’s sideline characters a lot more camera time in season 2. “What’s nice about this is that Matt, Caroline, Tyler, and Bonnie were all sort of our secondary characters — they are not part of the triangle. Now, all the storylines I wanted to tell last year and didn’t have time, I can tell them. I’m grateful I can tell the stories I’ve been sitting on.

Yeah, I’ll be over here furiously waving my Team Matt flag. While I do that (though feel free to join me), you guys watch the video.

Futon Critic has a series of “A Few Minutes With…” video interviews with the Vampire Diaries cast: Nina Dobrev, Michael Trevino, Steven R. McQueen, Paul Wesley, Matt Davis and Kevin Williamson. You can watch Kevin’s interview below and click everyone’s names to watch their video over on Futon Critic.

MTV’s Hollywood Crush continues to toss out interesting segments from their own video interviews; this new one is with Steven and Kevin and there are some definite hints about Katherine, Elena, and why the two look exactly alike:

Over on SyFy’s Blastr, Kevin Williamson discusses gay characters on The Vampire Diaries, diversity in general, and finding a good story (and provides a few more Season 2 hints in the process):

Williamson also won’t force a character to be gay when they need to be something else for the show. He’s writing a few guest-star parts now that won’t work as gay characters. “There’s plenty of characters coming, but the couple of regular characters that we’re bringing in are female, so I guess they could be lesbians, but we’re bringing them in for love interests. Once the wheels are in motion, it’s hard just to add something simply because you want to do it.”
