Regular readers may remember me getting a little irate with BuddyTV’s dismissal of Matt Donovan as a boring character back in October. Well, such insinuations have been made again, and this time it’s Zap2It’s Carina MacKenzie stepping up to defend Matt’s honour. Carina recently visited the Vampire Diaries set in Atlanta so she’s got a little help from Zach Roerig, who chats with her all about representing Team Human, and what’s in store for Matt in the future. Be sure to check out the video of the interview at the end of the article!
Secrets, secrets are no fun… without someone to keep them from. “I must say that I am honored to hold down the human fort in Mystic Falls,” Zach jokes. In a town where you can’t sneeze without spraying a vampire, a witch, or a werewolf, Matt remains one of only two regular characters who isn’t in on the supernatural drama.
But being out of the loop doesn’t make Matt boring — it makes him the wild card. (Sexy, right?) We were all shocked when Katherine compelled him to provoke Tyler into triggering the werewolf curse because the twist came out of nowhere, and you can bet that there are more Matt-related game-changers to come.
Thanks to the CW’s Judy Yam, we’ve got a behind the scenes picture from an upcoming episode featuring Ian Somerhalder, Michael Trevino and Paul Wesley looking particularly badass.

TV Squad’s Maggie Furlong recently visited the set of the Vampire Diaries and has shared a fun video featuring Candice Accola, Katerina Graham, Steven R. McQueen, Zach Roerig and Michael Trevino, in which they complain about the cold discuss character development, Klaus, a musical episode, having fun on set, and what Ian Somerhalder was really up to in that Pictionary scene in Memory Lane.

TV Guide‘s Robyn Ross brings us more video interviews from New York Comic Con. Kevin Williamson talks about the decision to turn Caroline and Zach Roerig explains why he’s “proud to be a puppet.” Meanwhile, Katerina Graham explains the circumstances that could cause Bonnie and Damon to work together, and Sara Canning cleverly – as we now realize – dances around the whole “When will Jenna know? How does this affect her relationship with Alaric?” issue.

AOL TV Squad’s Jean Bentley interviews Taylor Kinney. Warning: Major spoilers for Plan B!
When you initially joined the show, how receptive were the fans?
I was doing a show a year ago, a medical drama, and the people who came up to me and enjoyed the show were a lot of people in the medical field. They’d say “I like the way this is done.” So it was in passing, in brief. As soon as I signed on here, this is a world where you have fanatics. And that was new to me. To have someone come up and start screaming and know more about these characters than I do, that was new. That was really cool. It lifts your spirit. It makes you want to give more to the characters. I think everybody feeds off of that — I know certainly the cast does. The fans are huge in terms of what it means to tell stories and to do what they’re doing on ‘Vampire Diaries.’
READ THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW AT TV SQUAD.
Michael Trevino previews his Halloween plans and talks about his favorite horror movies over at Latina Magazine.
Trevino explained why he chose the funny costume. “I think for men, you have to think outside the box and/or wear something that’s going to get a lot of laughs.”
Ian Somerhalder talks about his cats over at PeoplePets and writes a column on Gulf Oil Spill recovery at Huffington Post.
We’ve added scans of Michael, Zach Roerig, and Steven R. McQueen’s Seventeen Magazine spread to the Gallery. Click on the images below to see larger versions.
And for those wondering when Mads Langer’s “The River Has Run Wild” (featured in EP201, The Return) would be available for purchase/download, the artist announced via his Facebook today that the song has finally been recorded and will be featured on his upcoming album.

Melissa Girimonte, aka The Televixen, is a long-time friend of Vampire-Diaries.net and Vee is a regular participant in The Televixen’s Vampire Diaries Podcast. You can find her on the web at TheTelevixen.com.
I’ll go ahead and admit it. I’ve been very vocal in wanting the Vampire Diaries love fest, whether it be some type of panel or cast appearance or autograph signing, to make its way north of the US border to my home and native land. I still haven’t given up hope that something will eventually happen in Canada, but for now, my TVD thirst has been quenched. How excited was I to learn that a Vampire Diaries panel had been added to New York Comic Con? VERY, especially considering that I was already heading down to the Con with my significant other and my friend Sheryl, who just happens to be the person who introduced me to The Vampire Diaries series.
The weekend in NYC was great, but it wasn’t without its challenges. First, the hotel had no water for 24 hours. I nearly became a convention hygiene cliche! Second, the Javits Convention Center is a black hole encased in solid concrete. And third, purchasing wifi access in the convention center proved to be fruitless. Those obstacles aside, I decided nothing was going to keep me from savoring every moment of the moment I’d waited all weekend for … The Vampire Diaries Panel!

Seventeen posted a series of pictures featuring Steven R. McQueen, Zach Roerig and Michael Trevino. There might have been something about the scents the like or wear, but I don’t think anyone on Twitter was paying attention to that last night. ;)

Sorry, I could sum up the topics touched on in this IGN video from New York Comic Con, but I am way too busy laughing myself silly over Steven R. McQueen’s total surprise that Damon didn’t see the ring and Julie Plec setting him straight. Hilarious. (Chat with Kevin Williamson, Zach Roerig, Sara Canning, and Kat Graham, too!) Thanks to @VDSource for the heads up!

WetPaint has a brief (three fan questions!) interview with Vampire Diaries executive producer Julie Plec and she drops some heavy duty tidbits, including what we can expect on the Tyler front as we head towards the holiday hiatus. (Which, if the math gets confirmed, might happen as late as December 2nd, assuming they skip an ep the week of Thanksgiving? We’ll let you know for sure when the final schedule is confirmed by the CW.)
The folks over at TVD promise that the Lockwood family curse won’t turn out to be a big teen wolf tease. In fact, Julie says we can probably expect Tyler to put the hair of the dog on his chest before Christmas. “I can’t be super specific about it. We’re still figuring it out. But it will probably be Episode 11, which will be the episode that takes us into the holiday hiatus.”
HOLY CRAP, right? This has been playing a huge role in the debate of those upcoming death rumors and this makes the timeline a whole lot more interesting. She also touches on the resemblance between Katherine and Elena and Stefan and Katherine’s smokin’ hot chemistry. READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AT WETPAINT.
SyFy’s Blastr has clues from Kevin Williamson on what viewers can expect in upcoming episodes (most of which has surfaced in previous NYCC reports):
“In the book, they have this mythology about all this blood being shed in this town during the Civil War. Wherever there was bloodshed, it attracted all the things that go bump in the night like vampires, werewolves and witches. I have another mythology that expands on that as to why Mystic Falls ultimately becomes one of these places that draws all this stuff to it.”

Vampire Diaries may be a repeat this week, but the goodies just keep rolling out from New York Comic Con this past weekend. First up, Nice Girls TV has their own press room video with Julie Plec and Steven R. McQueen, touching on “bad ass Jeremy,” the awkward Alaric that scene that was never shot (BOO, HISS!), the strange forces that may eventually make an appearance in Mystic Falls, Caroline, Steven’s inability to work his computer, why the show is willing to “go there,” the overall “diabolical master plan,” and the problem with absolving Damon of his worst deeds.
Jean Bentley of AOL TV Squad has press room video of Kevin Williamson, Zach Roerig, Julie Plec, Steven R. McQueen, Katerina Graham, and Sara Canning:
io9 also has more from the press room, including this intriguing tidbit:
The next four episodes in particular are promised to contain “an explosion of information” and by Thanksgiving, we’ll all know more about several lingering backstories. When someone asked about deviating from the canon of the books, Plec explained that the showrunners were excited to be able to “go there” and shock people with new takes on the original source material as well as their own addition.
Fancast has more on upcoming love interest(s) for Bonnie, Damon getting some, and this great quote from Julie:
“Anybody who thinks they’ve got a bead on Katherine is going to be sorely mistaken. I will say that in what they do, they learn just how diabolical she really is and the lengths she’s willing to go to. And yet when all is said and done, there’s a slight element of victory.”
And TV Guide weighs in with more on Bonnie:
There’s going to be a new guy in Mystic Falls soon, and to paraphrase the bard Spears, he’s not that innocent. He’s a huge fan of the dark arts — and specifically, he knows an awful lot about the Bennett family. Put another way, Bonnie is getting a groupie, and she’s not happy about it at all!
