The new issue of TV Guide Magazine highlights Vampire Diaries’ mid-season return; thanks to Denise (as always!) for the scan. WARNING: William Keck drops a MAJOR spoiler from A Few Good Men, which we’ve spoiler-blocked in the scan. We’ve posted the un-blocked version in the Gallery (because it’s out there in print) but if you want something to be a surprise..?

Thanks to Denise for the heads up on TV Guide Magazine’s interviews with Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, and Nina Dobrev at this weekend’s Hot Topic event in Los Angeles. They talk about what’s on everyone’s mind after the events of Fool Me Once and, now that we have Season 2 to look forward to, the possibilities are nearly endless.
So without the steadfast mission to find his one-time love, what will Damon resort to next? “Damon having idle time, not having a mission, is a very, very problematic situation…I think there are more shenanigans [to come].” And when Damon is up to no good, his Salvatore brother is sure to follow.
We’ve been thinking about a “Damon without purpose” scenario since the last episode aired, and it scares the crap out of us…in the best possible way.
Dobrev is holding out hope for Elena and Stefan, but admits here will always be outside factors toying with the strength of their relationship, which means anything can happen. “I think his presence always has an effect on their relationship, even if he doesn’t do anything. Even his existence complicates both their lives, so we’ll just have to wait and see,” said Dobrev.
Like having Damon show up unannounced in the bedroom. Boundaries, dude. BOUNDARIES.
“One of my favorite things about the show is the flashbacks,” said Wesley. “There’s still so much to cover, like what happened? We’re still at just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much for us to explore with 1864, but what did they do in 1910? What about 1950? It’s amazing how much we can explore.”
Yeah, the flashbacks are our favorite too, Paul. We want to see Stefan and Damon in 1977. Just sayin’.

Yesterday we saw the cover, and now today we have scans of the TV Guide Magazine interview in that same issue, thanks to the lovely Denise.
We particularly like this quote from the article:
It’s Team Damon versus Team Stefan! Whom do you think fans want Elena to be with?
Wesley: I’m president of the Team Damon fan club. I have a Facebook page as 13-year-old Ashley, who subtly manipulates people into hating Damon.
Somerhalder: [Laughter] So that’s why you yell at me to go away when I knock on your door!
You can also read the main interview over on TV Guide Magazine if scans aren’t your thing.
Katerina Graham had a chat with the Associated Press, and you can see what she has to say about the show and Damon in the video. There’s also a teeny extra road trip snippet at the end.

Two days left, and we’re delighted to find that Ian, Nina and Paul are on the cover of not one, but two magazines today – TV Guide Magazine and NYLON.

The NYLON website has a few snippets from their February 2010 feature of the Vampire Diaries, and also a few pictures from the photoshoot.
Finally, fans in Spain can mark their calendars for the premiere of the show: February 11 on the TNT channel. (Thanks, @matx88!)

We’re catching up on some tidbits, so there will be a few posts coming your way. But first up, a special reminder that Ian Somerhalder’s appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly airs tomorrow morning, Monday, January 18th. Check your local listings for times on their website.
Speaking of Mr. Somerhalder, he shares a very amusing anecdote involving Damon, Lexi, and Matthew Fox’s 12-year old daughter over at TV Guide Magazine. Not gonna lie – we kind of love her. (Read the entire story at TV Guide Magazine.)
“It’s 1:30 in the morning—there’s a six hour time difference between Hawaii and Atlanta—and Matthew calls me and says, ‘Listen, dude, she wants to talk to you. You need to justify some things to her. She’s not happy with you.’ So she drilled me with these questions and I was explaining my actions and saying, ‘There are times when you find yourself in situations that you may have to hurt someone for the betterment of the family, which is what Damon was doing.’ And every time I’d start explaining something, she’d go ‘Yep, uh huh. And…?’ It was an interesting hour for me!”
Unreality Primetime has some Ian London press which yields a few interesting nuggets (Damon’s age when he turned? 23). He talks about the usual, but it was his personal influences for Damon that made us smile:
Who or what were your influences when deciding on how to play the character of Damon?
“Three big ones. Josh Holloway, (Sawyer in Lost) Cary Grant and Dionysus. The marriage of a crazy crass redneck with the class of an eloquent man like Cary Grant is an interesting way to play a crazy well rounded 150 year old guy who likes a dance and the finer things in life – like blood, wine and Beethoven. Then you add in Dionysus – Damon is essentially Bacchus, he is that figure.”
And here we have a brief video chat with Ian and Nina Dobrev backstage at the TCA’s, in which Nina reveals a secret talent. We don’t know about you, but we are now earwormed. Thanks to VDO for the heads up.
