Friday Night Bites is a weekly round-up for various tidbits of show and cast/crew news not quite big enough to warrant a blog post, not strictly Vampire Diaries-related, or that somehow just fell through the cracks. Please insert theme song by Explosions in the Sky here and enjoy.

The Vampire Diaries TV SeriesMarcos Siega – Vampire Diaries’ Season 1 supervising producer, fresh off a two-episode directing stint for the show – returns to The VRO to talk TVD and more this Friday, December 3rd, 9pm EST. Jessica and Amber are taking questions for Marcos over on The VRO forum, so chime in with your questions! (Coincidence that Marcos returned to direct Tyler’s Big Episode, aka By the Light of the Moon? Kinda funny considering he talks about the difficulties of doing werewolves well in the Vampire Diaries Season 1 DVD special features. We can’t wait to see the final result.)

MTV Hollywood Crush caught up with Nina Dobrev during her recent publicity spree in New York City. In this installment of their interview, Nina chats about a budding new romance that may come as a surprise to Elena once she notices what exactly is going on…

Popeater talks with Katerina Graham about Season 2 of The Vampire Diaries, Bonnie, and making art.

What’s ahead for Bonnie?
I can’t really say. I can say that Bonnie is really standing up for herself … and I’m really happy about it. She’s becoming a lot more empowered and stronger and not letting everyone walk all over her, which is awesome.

And Zap2It‘s Carina MacKenzie speculates on what’s in store for Tyler as The Vampire Diaries heads towards the Marcos Siega-directed episode 211. (We know it’s only for a visit, but welcome back, Mr. Siega!) Something to howl about? We think so.

If Trevino’s performance in this episode is half as good as his recent work, I’m sure it’s going to be quite a ride. Tyler isn’t exactly a talker, but Trevino manages to make even his quietest scenes powerful and often painful.

The Vampire Diaries TV SeriesComic Con International’s full programming schedule has been announced and we’ve combed through to find the obvious and not-so-obvious Vampire Diaries-related topics and cast/crew appearances. Vampire Diaries will be representing big time this year and we’re sure there will be other tidbits to announce as we get closer to the big event, July 22-25. (Possible booth signings, for example.) If you want to relive last year’s Vampire Diaries-at-Comic Con experience, you can check out comprehensive coverage in our Wiki.

Vampire-Diaries.net will be represented by Jen of Nina Dobrev Fan at the Con. She’s a long-time friend of the site and TVD event ninja. (Seriously, I think she’s been at them all – first Comic Con, Hot Topic Cast Tour, PaleyFest…) She’ll be tweeting live on the @tvdnews account as things are going down. And she will most likely be wearing fabulous shoes while doing it.

Cast/crew members, past and present, who will be at the Con include Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Michael Trevino, Matt Davis, Steven R. McQueen, Malese Jow, Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, Marcos Siega, Pamela Shaw, and Gabrielle Stanton. Malese tweeted that she would be there with Koni Konfidential, a comic series currently being developed for TV with her as lead. UPDATED: Info added!

UPDATE2: Unfortunately, it looks like the Piranha 3D panel has been removed from the Con schedule, so we’re not entire sure at this point if Mr. McQueen will be there representing. We’ll update to let you guys know.

UPDATE3: Steven R. McQueen confirmed for Vampire Diaries Comic Con panel.
