NY Post’s Pop Wrap caught up with Zach Roerig to talk vampires, heroes, Vampire Diaries mythology, and Matt’s torch for Elena.
PW: Between the possibility of having to protect Elena and then Matt’s little sister Vicki, who’s always getting herself into trouble, is Matt’s role to play the hero?
Zach: I think he’s one of a couple heroes, yeah. Stefan’s definitely trying to be a hero. He’s trying to make amends for whatever wrongs he may have made in his past… There’s vampires and there’s bound to be other specials powers and I think Matt’s the one beacon of just like real, honest, good-hearted. He’s just got a pure heart. He doesn’t have any special powers, he’s just a good guy tryin’ to do the right thing.

Fancast has an interview up with Zach Roerig, who plays Matt Donovan on the show. Amongst other things, he talks a lot about Matt, his relationship with Elena, the Donovan family background, working in Atlanta and with the other people involved with the Vampire Diaries, and… Matt the Vampire Slayer? We think that could work, as long as Stefan isn’t on the list for staking.
Where are Matt and Vickie’s parents? Matt seems to take care of Vickie almost like her father.
I don’t think that Matt or Vickie ever really had a father figure around. That’s why the Mom all through their childhood was bouncing around from guy to guy. So Vickie and Matt had to raise themselves.What would you like Matt’s character arc to be?
I think that every family [in Mystic Falls] is going to have some kind of secret. I think it would be cool if Matt killed a vampire. I think once Matt realizes that there are vampires he will definitely be involved in the killing of vampires.
Read the entire article over at Fancast.

KryptonSite have a whole bunch of stills from “Haunted”, the Halloween episode of the Vampire Diaries, and the holiday season is looking pretty funky over in Mystic Falls (seriously, I’m hallucinating just looking at these stills). UPDATE: Larger versions now available in our gallery in all their psychedelic glory. ;)
Katerina Graham was interviewed recently by Starry Constellation Magazine. She talks about her background research for Bonnie, working with the rest of the cast, her fans and supporters, and a host of other things.
Q. Bonnie is a direct descendant from one of the accused Salem witches, did you do any research into that background?
A. Yeah, I studied a lot about the Salem Witch Trial and I watched The Crucible. I studied as much as I possibly could and I have been reading all of The Vampire Diaries books to see what her reaction is to a lot of these things. I kind of want to go to Salem to do some more studying and research but for now I am doing as much as I can. There is so much work you can do for the background of a character like that, so you definitely want to do as much as you possibly can.

E! News visited the set of The Vampire Diaries last week during filming of the Halloween episode (Haunted – we’ve already had glimpses of Jeremy’s and Elena’s, and Matt’s costumes via Nina’s Twitter), and the segment features some soundbites from Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder.
For those of you interested in the ratings breakdown for Family Ties, TV BY the Numbers has it all laid out here and also has the CW’s press release:
VAMPIRE DIARIES continued to cast a spell on viewers in a number of key ratings measurements, with flat week to week performances in adults 18-34 (1.8/6) and women 18-49 (2.3/3).

The CW have posted two clips from episode 2 of the Vampire Diaries, “Night of the Comet”, on their YouTube channel. We’re unsure whether this is awesome, or utterly evil. ;)
First up, Stefan, Matt and Vicki at the hospital.
And a scene between Damon, Elena and Stefan.
So, does this help tide you all over until Thursday, or does it just make the wait even more agonising? ;)

Hi, guys. Anything exciting going on? We’re still playing catch-up from the full-on crazy that was last night and today, and a lot of stuff has been slipping through the cracks. Here’s an attempt to gather some of it in one place. Thank you to the five gazillion of you (okay, it wasn’t that much, but it felt close) who emailed us with links, news, videos, songs, you name it, all through last night and today. This site is truly what you guys make it; we’re just the facilitators. You’ve humbled us big time with your help and overwhelming enthusiasm.
We’ll add to this post throughout the night as the need arises. And breathe. Feel free to drop links in the comments if we’ve missed something super-important.
If you’re just getting around to watching the pilot, or will be catching it tonight or Sunday, be sure to swing back by and vote in the Pilot poll.

We’ve got some episode stills from episode three (production code #102) of the Vampire Diaries TV series, ‘Friday Night Bites’. As the title implies, it’s a very football-focused episode, with a lot of Stefan in a football shirt (and both Vee and I agree that our favourite number is ’7′, so Stefan being ’17′ kind of tickles us). We’ll be adding our spoilery observations to the Friday Night Bites spoiler zone later on.
