THIS POST IS A STICKY, KEEP SCROLLING FOR MORE NEWS. KEEP REFRESHING THIS POST FOR NEW LINKS BEING ADDED.

Stuck at home waiting to find out just what took place at Comic Con today? You’re not alone. But Vee and Crissy Calhoun have been tweeting from the panel and signing booth and taking pictures and video, while the rest of us have been ferreting out goodies from other sources to collect together. Don’t forget to keep checking back, because we’ll be adding more stuff as we find it!

First up, a recap of what took place at the panel. Highlight or mouseover the spoiler blocks to see the potentially spoilery stuff.

• The audience sang Happy Birthday to Paul Wesley.
• There was a brief clip from season 3 featuring Damon and Elena. Damon surprises Elena while he’s stark naked. Fans screamed.
• Everyone seems unanimous on seeing Kayla Ewell and Sara Canning die on the show. Paul also mentions Rose. Julie reveals she still gets hate mail for killing off Mason Lockwood.
• Paul is looking forward to exploring the darker side with Ripper Stefan.
• Elijah will be back, at the very least in flashbacks.
• Jeremy is being haunted by ghosts
• Candice tells the audience she thinks it’s cool to do stunts and be a strong young woman. When asked what’s in store for Caroline and Tyler, Ian interjects with, “Puppies!”
• Julie jokes that Katherine skipped town to Hawaii after the season finale.
• On the subject of Damon and Elena dating: Julie points out that Katherine said it was okay to love both brothers, and that was for a reason. Kevin says that Elena will not just run into Damon’s arms now that Stefan is off with Klaus.
• Nina reveals that Justin Bieber wanted to be on the show. Kevin states that he thinks stunt casting is unnecessary and that they’ll cast based on what’s good for the story.
• At the end of the panel, everyone whipped out Team t-shirts. Paul had Team Damon, Ian had Team Stefan, Nina had Team Katherine, Candice had Team Tyler, and Joseph had Team Klaus. Julie and Kevin had a t-shirt listing all the main characters. Ian Somerhalder then says, “All of these teams together make up this kick-ass family that we call Vampire Diaries.”

Check out PopSugar’s Top 10 Hot Vampires and Werewolves, The Vampire Diaries snagged three spots, with Paul Wesley at #9, Nina Dobrev at #7 and Ian Somerhalder at #1.

You can also vote for your favorite in this year’s installment of Glamour’s Sexiest Men. Ian is listed at #65 with Paul right behind him at #70. Before you vote, however, you may want to check out this little gem of a video from TV3. The video is in Spanish Catalan (hey, they were in Barcelona, after all!) but don’t let that scare you off. The fellas start talking around 2.22, and it’s worth a look for sure!
