Ghosts, witches and thwarted romance, oh my! In addition to this tidbit about the Salvatore brothers in Season 3, TV Guide recently talked to Kayla Ewell, and they’ve got some great info for us about what’s going on with Jeremy’s pair of ghostly girlfriends, and what their real agenda is in Mystic Falls.
Vicki and Anna may have been together in their shocking return to Vampire Diaries, but when the show returns for Season 3, they’ll be anything but united.
“Vicki has a master plan and it’s trying to be stopped by Anna,” Kayla Ewell, who plays Vicki Donovan, tells TVGuide.com. “A lot of what Anna says is, ‘Beware of Vicki, be careful.’”
Looks like we could be in for some beyond-the-grave catfights! Kayla goes on to talk a little about Vicki’s motivations, how long the ghosts might stick around and what a ghost has to do to get her little brother’s attention. We love you, TV Guide!

The last Vampire Diaries cast hold-out has finally succumbed to social media’s siren call – everyone welcome Steven R. McQueen to Twitter: @McQueenInChains. The account has been confirmed by both Kat Graham and Matt Davis, so that is the real deal. This means you have ZERO excuse for falling for all those fake McQueen accounts now, you hear? Give him a follow and welcome him to the crazy town of Twitter.
And in other Twitter news, Joseph Morgan’s Twitter account has changed to: @JosephMorgan. (No more underscore!) The name change doesn’t affect his followers, so no need to re-follow him.

The last image we were left with at the end of season 2 was of Jeremy coming face to face with the ghosts of girlfriends past; Anna and Vicki. The potential impact this will have on Jeremy and his relationship with Bonnie in season 3 is quite staggering, and in typical Vampire Diaries style, they’re going to be keeping us guessing for a good few episodes. Mandi Bierly over at Entertainment Weekly has the scoop.
“When we come back to see him at the beginning of the season, we’ll see that he still hasn’t had any success figuring out what it is that they want, or understanding even what it is that they are,” exec producer Julie Plec tells EW. “We’ll see that maybe he’s been keeping this a secret, that nobody else is aware of what he’s been going through, and that his behavior has changed quite a bit and people are starting to wonder if he’s perhaps getting back into some old bad habits. When in reality, he’s just trying to figure out why the hell he’s being haunted by his dead girlfriends.”
