Considering the intense competition last night, this is AMAZING news! To put this in perspective, courtesy of Travis Yanan, Vampire Diaries virtually tied NBC’s 8 p.m. comedy block (SNL: Weekend Update and Parks & Recreation) in the ratings.
UPDATE: CW release – The CW’s new hit The Vampire Diaries to competition: bite me! (Emphasis ours. Heh.)
We’ll update this post with more details as they roll in.

Ratings are in for “Night of the Comet”, and while numbers are down from last week, they’re still very good. From TV MoJoe:
“Vampire Diaries”: Against much tougher competition (DVR alert!), the show proved it’s still undead. Results: 1.7/6 in adults 18-34, 2.6/8 in women 18-34 and 3.76 million eyeballs. That’s down from the premiere: 2.2/8 in 18-34, 3.0/10 in women 18-34 and 4.84 million viewers.
There’s a new trailer for “Friday Night Bites”, similar to the one from last night but with a few extra scenes.
The CWSource has posted a video interview with Kayla Ewell, who talks about knowing from the start that she wanted to play Vicki, the audition process, and how much she loves working with Vampire Diaries’ cast and crew.
Popstar.com have an interview with Katerina Graham:
PopStar: Give us all the juicy details about your character Bonnie Bennett.
Katerina Graham: I play Bonnie Bennett in the show. Bonnie Bennett is psychic and she is also Elena Gilbert’s best friend, they grew up together. She has this foreboding energy about her, in the beginning it is about little intuitions and senses things which I think is so amazing. They are giving her this gift right when vampires come to town. She knows that something is wrong but she can’t put her finger on it. Throughout the show, her powers grow and she actually gets put to the test on a couple of things. It is a great character; she has this hippie style, very fun, innocent and very fun to play.
Finally, everyone give Nina Dobrev a warm welcome to the world of Twitter. She’s on there now as @Real_NinaDobrev, and the pretenders are no more. UPDATE Confirmed by Katerina Graham and executive producer of Degrassi, Stephen Stohn.

We’re aware that sites such as KryptonSite and SpoilerTV blogged about this before the weekend: Episode six (#105) appears to be titled “Lost Girls” (wonder what that’s a play on?), and you can see a HQ promo from Vampire Diaries Show below.
We do so love following the cast and crew on twitter, because they feed their followers all kinds of cool comments and pictures. Sometimes they slip us by, like this ‘another night with the vampires in the forest’ pic that Paul M. Sommers posted on the 4th. Other times, we see them pretty much right off the bat, like this spiffy pic of some extras in 19th century costumes from Marcos Siega, which can mean only one thing: Flashbacks. Waistcoats, please?
On the subject of Twitter, you can now follow Chris Mollere, music supervisor for the Vampire Diaries TV series, at @cmollere. He’s going to be tweeting the music tracks used in the show after the episodes air, so he’s the guy to watch to find that song you loved.
For those who get a kick out of this information as much as we do, ratings for the Sunday night airing of the pilot episode in the USA came to 1.35 million viewers.
In book news, it looks like the Vampire Diaries are really rocking those bestseller lists. They’re at #2, #3 and #6 on the Barnes & Noble teen bestsellers list, and #13, #14 and #23 on the Amazon Teens bestsellers. Thanks @1Sjes and @AprilRoxX for that information!
Finally, if you’re interested in learning some more about myself and Vee along with some of our thoughts on The Vampire Diaries, you can head on over to read an interview with us over on Innsmouth Press that we took part in for their Vampire Diaries week. Be warned, the interview is full of bookish spoilers. And shoes.
