For Vampire Diaries fans cannot live on promos alone (okay, maybe they can): TV Line has a slew of Vampire Diaries teases, including tidbits on Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, Dr. Fell, and Klaus:
Question: Joseph Morgan recently mentioned that he’d like to see Klaus have a love interest on Vampire Diaries. Is this happening anytime soon? —Amy
Ausiello: Morgan is getting his wish! While Plec wouldn’t tell us if the lucky (or maybe not so lucky?) lady is someone we’ve met before, she did confirm “someone will catch Klaus’ eye very soon.”
Zap2It has their own preview of this week’s episode, The New Deal (EP310):
We’ll find out much more about siring and what it means to Tyler that Klaus is his sire — he’ll even explain the key differences between compulsion and siring. (Sort of. Let’s just say the line is a little blurry.)
And TV.com‘s Price Peterson tweeted out a The New Deal tease that may interest fans of The Vampire Diaries book series:
This week’s ep of #TVD marks the first time I’ve ever regretted not reading the books.
Make of that what you will (and speculate in the comments)!

Looks like TV Overmind has a last minute gift for Vampire Diaries fans! They’ve got a whole crowd of new stills from the new episode, and we’re just dying to see. Judging by the picture below, Jeremy is going to cowboy up (crossbow up?) for the second half of season 3.

One week out from the return of The Vampire Diaries on January 5th and there are teases galore about what we can expect from The New Deal (EP310) on January 5th. Following up KSiteTV‘s Ten Things About The New Deal from yesterday, TV Overmind and The Examiner’s TV Insider chime in with their own thoughts after previewing the full episode. Warning: Minor spoilers!
TV Overmind: The Vampire Diaries Episode 3.10 Advance Preview – Klaus Means Serious Business
Jeremy angrily declares what may turn out to be true. After they all become aware of the lengths Klaus will go to in order to retrieve his family members, Jeremy wisely suggests they skip town. “None of us are gonna make it out of this town alive”, he concludes. One has to wonder whether that will turn out to be true in the end. With The Vampire Diaries, you never know.
The Examiner’s TV Insider: The Vampire Diaries’ The New Deal Spoilers
Strip a man– or a vampire, or a hybrid, whatever– of the ones he loves, and he spirals. What that looks like depends on the individual involved, and in the case of “The New Deal” and Klaus, it looks like sticking around Mystic Falls to torment and threaten, and yes, brood, until he gets what he wants. But he isn’t the only one spiraling when The Vampire Diaries returns.
And TV Guide‘s Robyn Ross chats with Executive Producer Julie Plec about that ever-present tension between Elena and Damon and how Elena herself will respond to new threats against her loved ones (and it may – or may not – surprise you.)
“Elena realizes that in order to survive and in order to protect the people she loves the most, sometimes she has to behave more like Katherine than Elena, and sometimes a dark choice needs to be made, a violent act needs to be enacted and it’s troubling for her,” Plec says. “So who is she really at her core? She’s clearly not the girl-next-door do-gooder, she never has been.”

Screeners for the January 5th episode of The Vampire Diaries, The New Deal (EP310), were sent to select TV bloggers/reporters today, and KSiteTV has a (mildly spoilery) preview of what TVD fans can expect when the show returns next week.
7. Shippers will be happy. Which shippers? The CW gods said not to tell… but I can say at least three fan-groups get to see their favorite characters interacting. The choice of names that Klaus lists as “Elena’s loved ones” is also particularly interesting. And some shippers might want to get their screen-capturing software handy.

We are officially just over two weeks away from the return of new Vampire Diaries episodes, so it’s time to get worried again! (Or maybe wait until after the holidays? Or do you like your anxiety peppermint-flavored?) All signs point to conflict among the various characters and factions in Mystic Falls, and while that may make for some tense television viewing, it also makes for fabulous television viewing, no? So as we plod through these last two weeks, feast on some teases in the meantime:
- Julie Plec tells TV Guide that someone’s future is “looking bleak” in Mystic Falls.
- And Julie tells TV Line that Our Town (EP311) is going to be a “big” episode for just about all of our favorite characters. There’s also good news if you’ve been hankering for another Salvatore fight.
- Via Zap2It, Julie talks Rebekah and Klaus.
- And E!Online’s Watch With Kristin has a tease about kissing and a departure.
It never gets old seeing The Vampire Diaries pop up on more Best of 2011 lists!
