There is still time to donate to Global Roots for a chance to win dinner with Paul Wesley and Torrey DeVitto! Global Roots is a non-profit humanitarian organization aimed at aiding children in areas of famine, social unrest or instability. This is done by working with local humanitarians to discover what is actually needed by each individual community and by working together to create areas of tranquility and nourishment in which children can grow.

We are extremely proud to have Paul Wesley and Torrey DeVitto as two of our volunteers. In order to raise funds for our ongoing projects, they have invited two lucky fans to join them for dinner in LA this spring. Every 10$ donation gets your name entered in the drawing. There is still time to donate! Donations will still be accepted as part of the fundraiser through Friday, March 9th. The drawing will be held on March 10th. For more information about Global Roots or the opportunity to donate for a chance to win dinner with Paul and Torrey, visit www.globalroots.org.

The Insider‘s Jarrett Wieselman talked to Torrey DeVitto about the characters of questionable sanity she currently plays on both The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars. She discusses her recent trend of playing crazy ladies, her role in a certain recent cliffhanger, and what’s coming up when The Vampire Diaries returns on March 15:

“You learn a lot about Meredith — you’ll see her unfold and learn a lot about where she’s coming from. Her personality comes through a lot more.”

Pretty Little Liars fans will also want to check out what she says about Melissa.

We’ll have to wait a few weeks for the next episode of The Vampire Diaries, but TVLine talked to Julie Plec and got some hints about what we might be seeing in March. Great big spoilers for All My Children (EP315). Julie talks a little about the upcoming flashback episode, the ongoing concerns about Alaric’s ring, and the life expectancy of one Dr. Meredith Fell.

Plec says that unlike most Vampire guest stars (who have an end date from the get-go), Torrey DeVitto’s Meredith is sticking around for the foreseeable future. “With Meredith, [the story] has been ever-evolving,” she muses. “It’s possible [the character could become a permanent fixture] — or she could die a horrific, violent and tragic death.”

There’s been a great deal of speculation about the mysterious Dr. Fell. Is she crazy? Is she evil? We just don’t know! There’s also a lot of interest in her relationship with a certain unlucky-in-love local high school teacher.

Torrey is much to savvy to be giving anything away, but the actress recently spoke with Andy Swift from Holllywood Life, and shared some thoughts on love, life and life expectancy in Mystic Falls.

“I think there’s consequences to every relationship on this show,” she admits. “There are so many components mess them up. It’s hard to maintain a normal, healthy relationship. But I think their relationship is building in a cool way. I like these characters together, I think they work really well. I’m always excited to see where they’re going next.”

Torrey has a lot more to say about her character, READ THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW AT HOLLYWOOD LIFE.

Speaking of complicated relationships: TV Fanatic interviewed Persia White about Abby and Bonnie, and she’s admits that the situation between the two Bennetts is far from ideal.

TV Fanatic: On “The Ties That Bind,” Abby said she’s enjoyed the past 15 years being a “woman,” as opposed to a “witch.” Can you elaborate on that? Will we be seeing or learning about anything else from the character’s past?
 
Persia White: Abby has a lot of making up for the past mistakes. Being a parent is a huge responsibility and the fact that she is a witch holds an even greater weight… we’ll learn more about her weakness and strengths as the episodes unfold.

We’ve all been keeping a close eye on Mystic Falls’ new doctor, and Starry Constellation Magazine has some inside scoop from Torrey DeVitto about why she loves her character, sharing a set with Paul Wesley, Twitter, and her charity work. She also answers a couple questions about Pretty Little Liars, so fans of both shows are in luck!

Q. Why were you drawn in to playing Meredith on “The Vampire Diaries?” What about her made you want to portray this character?

A. Just getting to be on the show alone was a draw enough, but as I have gotten to know this character more, I have just really start to love her more and more. She’s smart, sharp, strong and straight forward. I love getting to portray females that have a backbone.
