McQueen, Matt Davis, Michael Trevino, Nina Dobrev, and Daniel Gillies (!) were in attendance, along with Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson.

Looks like we have some changes to the #TVDNashville convention line up. Zach Roerig will be appearing at the convention on Sunday, September 18th along with Paul Wesley. Looks like The Mystic Grill will just have to get along without Matt Donovan for a day or two!
Sadly, Creation has also announced that Ian Somerhalder will not be attending the Nashville event as scheduled. From their announcement:
August 22, 2011: We have been advised that Ian Somerhalder has been invited to present at The Emmy Awards in Los Angeles during our convention day. Therefore he is unable to attend our convention this year. We hope to welcome Ian at a future date and understand this cancellation.
With these two changes the updated guest list for the Nashville event is as follows: Paul Wesley, Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies, Zach Roerig Michael Trevino and David Anders. For more information about the Nashville convention or to check which day a given actor will appear, you can visit Creation’s website HERE.

Mystic Falls sure does have a lot of complicated sibling relationships! Living, undead, frequently-revived or ghostly, it seems all the brother/sister teams have a lot of issues to work out. Hollywood Crush interviewed Kayla Ewell recently, and from the sound of it Vicki’s spirit is as restless as ever.
“Did death reform her? Of course it did. But it didn’t change her completely,” Kayla said. “I’m still going to be a little bit of the trouble-maker, and I kind of just don’t know any other way to be.”
Hollywood Life and Wetpaint also interviewed Kayla, and she talks about her recent work on The Glades as well as offers up some fun facts about how the Vampire Diaries Team put together the Donovan family photo album.
They asked Zach and I if we had any photos of when we were little, like Christmastime and stuff like that, and they’re going to use those pictures of us.
Okay, pictures of Matt Donovan as a little boy? It’ll be the awwww heard round the world.

Ghosts, witches and thwarted romance, oh my! In addition to this tidbit about the Salvatore brothers in Season 3, TV Guide recently talked to Kayla Ewell, and they’ve got some great info for us about what’s going on with Jeremy’s pair of ghostly girlfriends, and what their real agenda is in Mystic Falls.
Vicki and Anna may have been together in their shocking return to Vampire Diaries, but when the show returns for Season 3, they’ll be anything but united.
“Vicki has a master plan and it’s trying to be stopped by Anna,” Kayla Ewell, who plays Vicki Donovan, tells TVGuide.com. “A lot of what Anna says is, ‘Beware of Vicki, be careful.’”
Looks like we could be in for some beyond-the-grave catfights! Kayla goes on to talk a little about Vicki’s motivations, how long the ghosts might stick around and what a ghost has to do to get her little brother’s attention. We love you, TV Guide!
