Sara Canning made an appearance at Dragon*Con over the weekend and got lots of love from fans at the event. TVD fan Mandy was on the scene and was kind enough to tell us about her experience, along with some of the TVD tidbits that Sara had to share.

Mandy told us in an email that Sara was very nice, with many nice things to say about Atlanta, the show and the cast, particularly Matt Davis. She related how she and Matt worked together on a back story for Jenna and Alaric’s relationship, as so much of it happened off screen. Sara’s favorite scene to shoot was the BBQ at the Gilbert house, she enjoyed working with some different actors than she usually shot scenes with. Mandy also had this to say about Sara’s comments regarding Jenna’s death:

Sara did not find out that Jenna was dying until two weeks before the episode was shot, though she was very glad that she got to be a vampire before leaving the show. She would have liked having more time for Jenna and Isobel to interact. Sara did wonder about how Jenna was going to react to the truth about vampires, she had thought Jenna might be in denial and not believe it, but she liked the ‘heartbroken’ direction that the writers took.

Our fan-on-the-scene was also able to snap a few pictures, despite some lighting challenges. Big thanks to Mandy for the inside scoop from Dragon*Con!

Earlier today, Michael Trevino tweeted that he was listed on the Dragon*Con guest list in error:

“For those asking, I was never scheduled nor will I be at Dragon Con this weekend in ATL.”

We don’t know how he wound up on the official guest list, and we’re sorry to have passed along this misinformation. So far as we know, David Anders and Sara Canning are in fact scheduled to attend.

UPDATE: David Anders has also pulled out of the convention.
