The Insider‘s Jarett Weiselman gets more Season 3 goods from Kevin Williamson, who teases whether Katherine will return, Matt’s role in the Vicki/Anna/Bonnie/Jeremy story line, pushing the Vampire Diaries cast out of their comfort zone, the Original family, and The Ripper:
After being forced to embrace his dark side, the fight for Stefan Salvatore’s soul (or whatever it is that kept him so docile in the first two seasons) will be a driving force behind the new season. Williamson reveals: “He just goes crazy this season. But it’s an incremental change. It’s not just The Ripper — it’s a whole arc and we go through every single beat of it. It changes all along the way. The fun of this season will be watching Stefan go through this intense and bloody journey. Very bloody.”
GET THE REST OF THE GOODS OVER AT THE INSIDER.
And TV Guide has a peek at yet another new episode still from The Birthday (EP301), this time featuring Alaric and Elena.

The next round in the Television Without Pity Tubeys Finals is up. The Vampire Diaries has nominations in 7 categories this time, (but one of them makes me mad!) out of 13 total.
You have ONE WEEK to get your votes in for this round before the next batch on Monday, August 15th. A new round will post every Monday until August 29th.
The Vampire Diaries is nominated in the following categories for Round 3:
- Favorite Actor Ian Somerhalder
- Favorite Actress: Nina Dobrev
- Most Egregious Product Placement Bing, Ford, Mifi
- Best Single Episode (Drama): Masquerade; The Sun Also Rises
- Best Season Finale
- Most Welcome New Character: Elijah, Katherine
- Most Unwelcome New Character: Klaus
What?! Klaus as most unwelcome new character?! Hey now, the good (and bad) people of Mystic Falls may not have welcomed Klaus with open arms, but as a character he has done an excellent job of shaking things up and doing it with style. He’s also the driving force behind the greatly anticipated reemergence of Ripper Stefan, and I know a lot of us are certainly welcoming that! Let’s show some love for our one and only werepire, guys – vote for somebody else for that category.
HEAD OVER TO TELEVISION WITHOUT PITY & START VOTING!

Kevin Williamson fielded a few Vampire Diaries questions during The Secret Circle portion of the Television Critics Association press panel today. Here are some choice snippets via Twitter by attending press:
@VladaGelman: Tyler/Caroline/Matt triangle going to be right alongside Stefan/Elena/Damon.
@TVGuideMagazine: Bonnie will be “front and center” during the new season of #VampireDiaries says Kevin Williamson
@TVDWetpaint: A witch is at the root of the Original families mythology – so Kevin Williamson says Bonnie will be at the center of Season 3.
@LauinLA: And Bonnie’s story is integral to next season of #TVD, she’s at the center of both Jeremy’s story and the Stefan/Klaus/hybrid arc.
@BuzzSugar: #VampireDiaries fans: don’t get your hopes up for a cross over with #TheSecretCircle. Kevin Williamson says it ain’t happenin’

The clock is ticking down to the Vampire Diaries Season 3 premiere and, lucky for us, Executive Producer Julie Plec is opening up about what we can expect when the show returns on Thursday, September 15th. In addition to plenty of drama involving Jeremy, Bonnie, back-from-the-dead Vicki and Anna, Elena and Salvatore complications, Caroline and Tyler, and whether Daniel Gillies will return this season as Elijah (was there ever any doubt?), Julie tells TV Guide’s Robyn Ross that they have a lot of planned for the so-called “Year of the Originals”:
You dubbed Season 3 “The Year of the Originals.”
Plec: In the beginning, we’ll catch nice glimpses in flashbacks of a time when Stefan was a true ripper. We’ll get to see what that was like and how he got this reputation that Klaus has been holding on to because Klaus wants Stefan to be his wingman. Then, once we get into our second chapter in mid-fall-early winter, that’s when we’re really going to be digging deeply into the history of the original family and go all the way back in flashbacks to the year 1000 approximately. We’re going to tell their origin story, see where and who Klaus comes from, why he is the way he is and why he so desperately needs some therapy or a hug.

Twitter practically exploded today with some exciting casting news: David Gallagher (most recently seen on the big screen in Super 8) will be making an early appearance in The Vampire Diaries season three. You can read all about it at TVline.com:
Best known by TV fans for his run as 7th Heaven‘s Simon, Gallagher will appear on the first two episodes of the CW hit’s new season, TVLine has learned. Playing werewolf Ray Sutton, he will have a grim run-in (a howlingly bad time?) with Klaus in Tennessee.
Now, what could our big bad Klaus possibly want with a plain old werewolf? And what might he and Ripper Stefan be up to in Tennessee? Let your speculations run wild in the comments, we can’t wait to see what you all think might be in store!
