The intrepid and awesome Ella (who supplied us with some of the first set pics way back when the series started filming) paid another visit to Covington today, and got some shots of Paul Wesley and Matt Davis filming some scenes together. We’ve got a few for you here, and you can view the rest of the batch over in Ella’s album in our gallery.
If you’d like to feature these images on your own site, please make sure you contact Ella for permission.

This Friday’s issue of TV Guide Magazine has a spread of Vampire Diaries behind-the-scenes photos courtesy of Kayla Ewell, who also gives some spoilery insight into what the future holds for Vicki and Jeremy, reveals that the vampires of the show don’t yet have the hang of the whole biting thing, and gives up Michael Trevino and Zach Roerig‘s dirty little Twitter secret (with photographic evidence! – we’re LOL-ing over here). Click on the images below to see bigger, readable scans in the gallery (a little spoilery!) – and big, big thanks to Denise for the scans.

Nina Dobrev is featured in the new issue of Glamour, along with Sara Paxton (R.I.P. The Beautiful Life) and Jessica Lucas (Melrose Place), and we have a scan courtesy of Nina Dobrev Fan.
The CW Connect has a video interview with Nina where she answers fan questions about the show, including whether Elena suspects Stefan is a vampire, the vibe on the set, how much she knows about what future episodes hold, and how the show is different from Twilight and True Blood. Lots of good stuff – you can view it at CWtv.com or on the official Vampire Diaries Facebook (the second link should work for you, non-U.S.A. peoples).
UPDATE: YouTube embed below.

Vampire Diaries Spoilers have posted some stills from episode 6, “Lost Girls”. Update: We have bigger, better quality versions now. They can be found in the gallery in the Lost Girls album.
In episode seven news, Ernest Dickerson (Dexter, Burn Notice) is at the helm directing the episode, and we’ve seen the title “Haunted” pop up in a few places. There’s also a still from it (courtesy of @LilMissX) with Stefan and Damon looking like they’re not at each other’s throats for once.
Elena and Stefan are up for the Hollywood Style People’s Choice Awards hottest Fall couple. Head on over there to cast your vote for them, and you’ll make Nina Dobrev a very happy lady in the process.
Katerina Graham posted a picture of herself from when she auditioned for Bonnie, and Michael Trevino posted a picture of Tyler’s car. Alas, Michael isn’t posing on the hood in the pic, but it’s still a sweet looking car. We can certainly picture Tyler behind the wheel.

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.

Four days!
Ahem. Now that’s out of my system, on with the news. ;)
Northwest Florida Blood Services are going to be holding a Vampire Diaries blood drive on Thursday the 10th September at the University of West Florida Center for Performing Arts. There will be a variety of promotional giveaways along with a planned screening of the series premiere at the center. You can find more information here.
We meant to post this sooner, but with the flurry from Friday it slipped through the cracks. Marcos Siega tweeted on Friday with a picture and the accompanying message ‘Where vampires go to die…’. Said picture was a rather awesome front view of the Salvatore family crypt. Book fans can all get excited about the link to the books, while everyone else can appreciate what looks like one cool set piece.
Nina Dobrev Fan let us know that Kayla Ewell is featured on the cover of this month’s issue of Orange Coast Magazine (out now). It’s part of a Fall fashion spread featuring some of Orange County’s rising stars, and the Vampire Diaries title appears on the cover next to Kayla. Neat!
Finally, there’s been a lot of press coverage over the past few days, but we haven’t posted links to everything here as most of the content has been posted before in one article or another. Still, it’s worth mentioning that the press is taking notice of the series, and how cool it is that the Vampire Diaries is getting lots of exposure.

First of all, today (well, technically tomorrow, but whatever) marks the one month countdown to the Vampire Diaries premiere, which airs on September 10th on the CW. We’ve added a little countdown to the sidebar on the right for a bit of fun.
People.com has posted “Five Things to Know About TV’s Hottest New Vampire“, a short-but-sweet article about Paul Wesley in which acting, pointy teeth, and the show are talked about. We have to give a shout out to his little sisters for reading the books – we hope they liked them! Also, we can guarantee that his family aren’t his only fans.
Korbi Ghosh from Zap2it caught up with Ian Somerhalder for a brief chat. That link could be considered spoilery if you have any idea about the cast and characters (or have seen the pilot), but from a non-spoilery perspective it’s starting to look like Damon may well be set to steadily work his way through the population of Mystic Falls, leaving quite a few disheveled ladies in his wake.
There’s an audio snippet of Kevin Williamson at the TCA panel over on Hollywood Outbreak. It’s a section we’ve posted about in text format before, in which KW explains that the Vampire Diaries isn’t just a teen show but more of a small town show that will develop the mythology in the books.
In set news, it looks like the body count starts here. Michael Trevino teased followers on Twitter with a picture of the Mystic Falls coroner’s van. Given the potential death toll (dare we say it could give Sunnydale a run for its money?), we have to wonder if they’ll be needing to purchase another van for the Mystic Falls coroner’s office before the season ends?
GMMR and Ducky talk about the Vampire Diaries in their TV Talk podcast, briefly discussing the fact that they enjoyed the pilot (the term ‘guilty pleasure’ crops up) and the ‘swoonworthy’ nature of Paul Wesley. They’re planning on discussing it in more depth in their Fall TV podcast. The Vampire Diaries discussion starts at the 32:30 mark for those who want to skip ahead to it.
The Television Without Pity Tubey Awards are underway, and the Vampire Diaries TV series is up for ‘Most Anticipated New Show of the 2009-10 Season’. Go and cast your votes in the polls. You can find the TVD poll under the ’9-10′ tab.
Sally from Australia sent us an email to say that Freeview channel GO! – who will be airing the Vampire Diaries in Australia later this year (though still no specific dates) – has now launched, and they’re airing adverts for the series on a pretty regular basis.
Vampire Diaries fans Rachel and Andrea have been busy channeling their love for the series creatively by making some awesome t-shirts. Do we have any other fans out there with a similar crafty flair?
Caption Competition Update:
We’d just like to remind you all that you have until Friday to enter our caption competition to win some Vampire Diaries Comic Con goodies. Judging from some of the entries, we get the impression we may not have been clear enough with what the caption competition is, so we’ve updated the post to explain the concept some more and to provide an example of a caption for you.
Because some people might not have understood what we were asking for in this contest we’ve decided that participants are welcome to change their caption to something else if they’ve already submitted one to us. No worries if you’re happy with what you submitted, but we feel it’s only fair to give people the option.
Click here to find out more information and to enter the contest…

Now that filming for the Vampire Diaries is underway in Covington, Georgia, a lot of fans are heading down there to watch it as it happens. By all accounts we’ve seen so far the cast and crew are a really laid back, friendly and genuinely nice to the fans who turn up. Ella (who provided us with the earlier photo of the Mystic Grill) headed over there recently to meet the cast and get some behind-the-scenes pictures of filming taking place, and has been kind enough to share them with us. We’re only highlighting a few here (click on the thumbnails for the larger images), but Ella has a whole bunch more that you can see in her Photobucket account.
Paul Wesley seems to be somewhat elusive in these pictures at the moment (he’s a mysterious blur above). Looks like he’s taking Stefan’s sneaking abilities very seriously. ;) If you’d like to use Ella’s pictures, please don’t just take them – you should contact her for permission.
If that’s not enough for you, you can also check out DefineDelicate’s photo video of her visit to the set, and read all about another fan’s recent set experience.

Many thanks to Ella for sending us this external shot of the Mystic Grill (which is the local hangout for the residents of Mystic Falls in the Vampire Diaries TV series). It’s looking pretty swish and sophisticated from the outside, certainly the kind of place you could buy a decent doughnut from. ;)
If you’ve got pictures you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you.

While we don’t want to get into the habit of posting about every photo Vampire Diaries director Marcos Siega tweets from the set (besides, you should just follow him – he’s a funny and cool guy), we thought one might interest the book fans: Is this the legendary Mr. Tanner’s History class? Script would seem to indicate so. (Also, we think we spot at least one sweater in the photo, which means The Vampire Diaries sweater legacy remains somewhat intact.)
Take a peek at the classroom and spot the sweater… ;)
