Stefan and Elena in Family TiesLast night’s encore of “Family Ties” drew in a respectable 1 million viewers, and the DVR ratings are also in for “History Repeating”, giving the episode an extra juicy 1.6 million viewers. Courtesy of the Futon Critic:

Freshman smash THE VAMPIRE DIARIES only gets bigger once all DVR playback is included, gaining 57% in women 18-34 (3.82rtg v. 2.43rtg), 51% in adults 18-34 (2.68rtg v. 1.77rtg) and 57% in women 18-49 (3.09tg v. 1.97rtg).

There’s a casting call out for a new recurring character by the name of ‘Lucy’. We know a lot of you don’t like to be spoiled too much about upcoming characters, so if you want to know more, highlight the text below (you can also head over to the Spoiler Zone on the forums, where people will post more information when they find it).

[LUCY BENNETT] Early 20′s.. HOT African-American, Bonnie’s cousin from out of town. A Virginia Tech college student that is wicked smart and is happy to let you know it. At first, she comes across as crass and in-your-face but look deeper and you’ll see a wounded soul who’s never really belonged. She is very guarded and mysterious and is not above using her looks to her advantage. Men beware. GUEST STAR, RECURRING

Thanks to Candice from BettyConfidential.com for letting us know about their interview with Zach Roerig.

When Matt finds out Vicki’s [fate], is he going to go after Damon and Stefan?
Matt’s definitely going to seek redemption. I’m not sure he’s going to know what direction to go in, but he won’t stop till he figures it out. It may not mean staking a vampire in the heart, but he’ll do something. I’m just waiting to see what’s in store for the rest of the series. It started out focusing on Elena, Damon and Stefan, but Bonnie and her witchy ways are going to become a bigger part of the show; the town’s people who are trying to secretly hunt for vampires will be out in force; there are new characters popping up, so there’s a lot more to come. I’m just as excited as the viewers to see it unfold.

There’s also an interview with Katerina Graham from I Heart Heels. It’s all about style, baby.

IHH: Is Bonnie’s style ever anything you would wear on your own?
KG: We’re different to the extreme. Bonnie goes for the loafer, while I opt for the platform stiletto. But, I love Bonnie’s clothes and will even see something and pick it up in a store if I feel it reflects her. As an actor, it’s important to lose your ego and fall into the character, even if she’s different than you are style-wise.

    Of course the new character would be hot. Just like the rest of the cast. LOL.  (Quote)

    At least Red was in key, Vee. Only the best and the brightest for TVD. Which reminds me, wouldn’t Paul Wesley have made a much better Edward than Robert Pattinson? But then he’d be playing opposite Kristen Stewart as Bella and even he couldn’t make her look good. She pretty enough, but she can’t act!  (Quote)

    I rather liked Kristen Stewart in Adventureland. You know, for the record. ;)

    Pussycat Doll references are hereby banned from this website – from now on. Let that be a lesson to you, Red.  (Quote)

    Intriguing. Although I really wish we’d get Meredith instead. *sigh*

    Great singing Red! LOL  (Quote)

    I have often said to Vee that Paul Wesley could be the Edward in my head. I just do not find RPattz attractive. I wish I did. I’m obviously missing something vital here because so many people like him. Unless it’s the accent. Being a Brit, I’m immune to the accent. ;)  (Quote)

    they should hire Zoe Kravitz as Bonnie’s cousin Lucy!
    She’s into acting too  (Quote)
