MTV caught up with Nina Dobrev at last night’s Young Hollywood Awards and she had some special insight into the filming of the Vampire Diaries season finale’s final act – so, you have been warned, MAJOR SPOILERS AHOY.
READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AT MTV HOLLYWOOD CRUSH.
Teen Vogue has a brief Q&A with Sara Canning. She fields questions about the season finale, the age difference between her and her character, and period acting.
Though you’re one of the very few figures of parental authority on the show, you’re just 22. What’s it like playing the adult?
I thought it might be a stretch given that Jenna’s quite a few years older than me, but I’ve found her to be very relatable because she’s essentially growing up herself as I have in the past two years since finishing Vancouver Film School’s acting program. Plus, when I moved down to Atlanta, Nina Dobrev and I actually became roommates so she really has become like family to me!
READ THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW AT TEEN VOGUE.
The TV Chick has a stellar interview with recent Vampire Diaries guest star Mia Kirshner, aka Isobel. She discusses her time on the set, her working relationship with Nina, Ian Somerhalder, and Matt Davis, and has surprising insight into her memorable role.
Presuming she does come back, which I hope she does, what do you want to see from Isobel going forward?
I think I’d like her to go head-to-head with Katherine one day. I think that would be fantastic. I would like to see the full scope of her power. I think ultimately she wants to be in charge. So, how she’s going to do that I’m not sure. But yeah, I think I’d to see more of that. And I’d like to see more elements of her past and then the present day. Like where she was and what her influences are and why she is the way she is. And I’d like to see — for me, what was really important, which you don’t see that much in this episode — but something that I want in the character is the humanity. I think that’s what makes her even more seductive.

TV Guide Magazine has a brief conversation with guest star Mia Kirshner about what viewers can expect when Isobel waltzes into Mystic Falls during tonight’s episode of The Vampire Diaries. Executive producer Julie Plec also gives insight into the character’s motivations.
“Isobel resents it, but you can see that her human emotions haunt her,” says Kirshner. “She’s not the most stable mother, but her attitude toward her daughter turns out to be very surprising in the end.” We just hope it doesn’t suck for Elena.

Here comes trouble – and no, we’re not talking about the Vampire Diaries summer hiatus inching closer. Isobel – manipulative wife, wayward birth mother, all vampire, and played by guest star Mia Kirshner – gets an entire episode named after her tonight on the CW and we’re not sure that’s altogether promising for those hoping there will be sunshine and puppies (with cute, floppy ears). If this was real life, we’d be begging for someone to give Elena a break after the events of the past three weeks but, since this is television, we’re not expecting a smooth ride for any of our favorite characters. In fact we’re thinking it might be time for Alaric to upgrade to absinthe.
THIS IS THE LAST EPISODE BEFORE NEXT’S WEEK’S MAY 13th SEASON ONE FINALE!
REMINDER: Nina Dobrev will be on NYC’s PIX Morning News May 6th, 7:50am! And, West coasters/Mountain timers, you still have time to catch Nina on Jimmy Fallon, 12:35am/11:35pm!

Sometimes a spoiler is a spoiler…and sometimes it’s a promotional campaign! Looks like the CW is putting the focus on Elena’s biological mother, Isobel, as we head into the home stretch of season one. If you’re looking for some background, head over to the Watch with Kristin blog, and below is E’s first look at the Isobel & Elena promotional poster – Connected to her mother by blood, not love.
Are you looking forward to Isobel’s arrival in Mystic Falls?

First up, Mystic Falls’ hottest teacher and eligible bachelor, Alaric Saltzman, is on Twitter. Zach Roerig posted to let the cat out of the bag that Matt Davis can be found at @ErnestoRiley. Everyone pay him a warm welcome and see if we can’t entice him to tweet more.
We’ve got a few miscellaneous – and pretty! – Vampire Diaries images that have been sent our way today, so we thought it would be easiest to throw them all together in the same post.
Greystone Mansion (Andrew Eccles):
Love Sucks:
(Thanks, Ian Somerhalder Italy!)
Stills from “A Few Good Men” of Isobel (and the back of Alaric’s head):

MTV’s Hollywood Crush has an ever-so-rare chat with Steven R. McQueen about what’s in store for Jeremy on upcoming episodes of The Vampire Diaries. He has wonderful things to say about Malese Jow, who will be guest starring as Anna (J’s potential love interest?), calling her “very talented and very sweet.”
And we know from reading your comments in the blog and posts in the forum that what Damon did to Jeremy is a huge, HUGE point of interest, and you’ll be happy to know Steven plays a bit coy on that front (spoilery!):
It was way back in 2009, but you may recall that earlier in the season, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) pulled his special vampire brainwash-y powers out to erase Jeremy’s memory of his girlfriend Vicki’s death. The catch is, it’s not exactly clear what Damon did. “That’s something that’s going to unfold itself a little later in the series,” Steven said. “[Damon] did erase my pain and my grief and such, but I’m not sure what I can reveal of just how much he shut out of my memory — and if he put anything in there.” (Dun Dun Dun… )
And @LilMissX is being very, very good to Vampire Diaries fans in anticipation of the show’s return this Thursday. Check out our first look at Mia Kirshner as Isobel, Alaric’s wife, in this still (we know Isobel is set to debut in Bloodlines, but we’re not 100% positive that’s what the still is from) with Matt Davis (Alaric):
UPDATE: Thanks to KryptonSite, we now know the Alaric/Isobel still is from an upcoming episode called A Few Good Men.
According to this ITV2 press release, it looks like UKers can look forward to a Tuesday, February 2nd debut for The Vampire Diaries. And it gets better: The channel will be kicking off with a 9-11 p.m. double header of the pilot and Night of the Comet. Smart move, we say.
Speaking of air dates: The Vampire Diaries kicks off in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria tomorrow night! Though I suppose it’s already January 20th in your neck of the woods, so… Enjoy the show!
With all of the TVD cast appearances in magazines lately, we thought you might want to check out Katerina Graham pontificating on the particulars of her beauty bag in this Seventeen video, and Nina Dobrev Fan has nice, watermark-free scans from Nina’s very pink fashion spread in SELF.

Wow. The January 21st episode of the Vampire Diaries is chock full of new faces – Noah, Lee, Bree, and now Isobel. According to the Ausiello Files Mia Kirshner has joined the cast as Alaric’s “sweet-yet-dangerous” wife, Isobel, and will make her debut in “Bloodlines”. Mia has appeared in The L Word, 24, and Paul Wesley fans will recognise her as his older sister, Ruby Cates, from Wolf Lake.
Is it January yet?
UPDATE: More (spoilery!) information over at E! Online.
UPDATE2: The LA Times has some more insight into Kirshner’s “last-minute casting” as well.
