Carina MacKenzie has all kinds of interesting little tidbits from New York Comic Con this weekend. From the possibility of Matt and Stefan’s future friendship to Katherine coming face to face with some our our human favourites, Carina has a whole range of Vampire Diaries gossip. On top of that, she’s also got the latest from Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson on Damon. Is he worthy enough for Elena? Perhaps not yet, but he’s working towards it. And for those wondering about the long-term regarding stories on the show, Julie and Kevin have already thought about that:
“The Vampire Diaries” may lend itself to a “monster-of-the-week” structure.
Though this won’t be established until much further down the road, Plec says that the show may take a different approach at some point, similar to “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” or “Supernatural.”“Eventually, there’s going to be a formula that will grow out of the show and the storytelling that’ll be a little bit more amenable to the monster of the week, the demon of the week,” she says. “But until then we’re going to keep building one brick at a time.”
There are some juicy spoilers up on Popwrap that you’ll all probably be interested, ranging from Jeremy to possible returning characters and to Katherine. On the subject of Katherine, book fans will be delighted to learn that we’ll be meeting Katherine’s maker at some point. So waddya make of that, sport? ;)
There’s video from the press room featuring Kevin Williamson and Zach Roerig over on Nice Girls TV:
Vampire Support are holding a contest to design them a logo for use on their website and various pieces of the merchandise they produce for charity. The winner of the contest will receive a vampire support shirt of their choice. The contest closes in two weeks. You can head on over to the Vampire Support website to enter. From their contest page:
We would like the logo to simply say “Vampire Support”. Currently we are using the “Vampire Fans Support Gulf Aid” and we feel that is more of our mission, then the logo itself.
Colors- We would like to see, black, purple and blue. Red may be used if you decide to do blood splatter but we ask it not to be used in the logo itself. Optional color will be yellow.
Size- 3000×3000 so we can size it for graphics later on.

Today was Vampire Diaries day at New York Comic Con (we think there might have been other stuff going on, but it pales in comparison to the Vampire Diaries, right?), with Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec, Steven R. McQueen, Katerina Graham, Zach Roerig and Sara Canning in attendance. Moderated by the lovely Carina MacKenzie (@cadlymack on Twitter – give her a follow), the panel was – by all accounts – a blast, with all kinds of intriguing spoilers and factoids being revealed (which you can see further down under the spoiler warning). Carina was also able to confirm with Steven that he doesn’t have a Twitter account. Anyone claiming to be him is a fake. Accept no substitutes.
Carina kindly gave permission for us to share a few of her photos from the event:


More media from NYCC
- Teaser footage for episodes 6 & 7.
- Pics by Ariel and JessiVanessi over at I Heart Vampire Diaries.
- Panel videos one and two from Ariel.
We’ll be adding links to videos and more pics when they’re uploaded (unfortunately cell service at the panel was poor, so many people weren’t able to tweet comments and pictures at the time). While we wait for that, get a load of the spoilery goodness revealed during the panel and in the press room.

The CW has been showcasing these cool cast interview videos on cwtv.com for a few weeks now, in which each actor analyzes their character and speculates what might be in store for them in the second season of Vampire Diaries. (We were waiting to blog ‘em ’til they showed up on YouTube, but that obviously isn’t going to happen any time soon.) The interviews happened during the filming of Founder’s Day, which makes them a treat considering we’re not sure the actors knew what was coming.
Still no Truth Behind Alaric video or (dare we hope?) one for Katherine, but U.S. viewers can check those posted so far over at the CW.
Here’s a direct link to each “The Truth Behind…” video on CWtv.com:
- The Truth Behind Elena: Nina Dobrev interview
- The Truth Behind Stefan: Paul Wesley interview
- The Truth Behind Damon: Ian Somerhalder interview
- The Truth Behind Tyler: Michael Trevino interview
- The Truth Behind Jeremy: Steven R. McQueen interview
- The Truth Behind Bonnie: Katerina Graham interview
- The Truth Behind Caroline: Candice Accola interview
- The Truth Behind Matt: Zach Roerig interview
- The Truth Behind Jenna: Sara Canning interview

At the end of May, Vampire Diaries co-stars Sara Canning and Zach Roerig participated in the Do Something Awards nominees event, but their involvement with the organization doesn’t stop there! Thanks to Jennifer at Charity Buzz for the heads up that Sara and Zach have put themselves up for auction. Okay, not literally (don’t get that excited) – but you can bid on a lunch with the pair as part of the the Second Annual Do Something Online Auction.
One lucky bidder will win:
Includes: lunch with Zach Roerig and Sara Canning from The Vampire Diaries. Valid for up to 4 people in Atlanta, GA. Transportation and accommodations NOT included. Winner is responsible for the payment of lunch. Based on a mutually agreeable time.
Bidding starts at $500 and the auction ends on August 18th. All proceeds benefit Do Something, an organization whose goal is “to inspire, support and celebrate a generation of doers: people who see the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action.”
Also, we have to wonder – which of Atlanta’s restaurants will be hosting the get-together? We all know that the city is a foodie haven.

Chicago’s Mash.com caught up with Zach Roerig and Sara Canning and they talk about everything from the moment they found out they’d won their respective roles of Matt Donovan and Jenna Sommers on Vampire Diaries to the “vampire trend” and their prom nights.
