The Secret Circle’s Phoebe Tonkin Joins The Vampire Diaries

TV Guide is reporting that Phoebe Tonkin, who you may know as Faye from The Secret Circle, has been cast in a recurring role in season four of The Vampire Diaries:

“The Australian actress will play Hayley, a wild, sexy and very free-spirited friend with whom Tyler (Michael Trevino) shares a past. She’ll first appear in Episode 3.”

Well, that should add another interesting element to the Caroline/Tyler/Klaus situation.

wow 1st Claire and now Phoebe, its like an h2o reunion.
Can’t wait until Vampire Diaries returns.
DAMONIAN

yayayayayayayayay! I LOVE HER! she is gonna rock TVD!
Rose-Petals

Also does this mean that she’ll figure out that Tyler is not really Tyler, will Klaus start to like her, or will Tyler be back in his own body by then? So many question and now to wait for october.

Fabulous is the only word that comes to my mind.

I didn’t like the Secret Circle but really liked Phoebe. She was great on that show. Wonder if she and Tyler got together when Tyler was off trying to control his werewolf, sire to Klaus thing. Does this mean Tyler and her were hanging out or hanging out wink wink nudge nudge. If they did “get together” Caroline is going to be pretty upset and I also wonder if she is also a werewolf. Which means Caroline better watch herself.

This is awesome!!! Talking about wish fulfillment ; )
She can rival Damons snarky greatest hits
rachel

Not surprised by this news. They create Hailey’s character just to get Phoebe Tonkin on TVD. As soon as TSC was cancelled, KW tweeted that it would be great to have her on TVD. I just hope it’s a great character and not one that will be lame like Sage. I’m just worried that with all these new recurring/guest characters, there won’t be enough screen space for the core characters.
rachel

Ha, imagine her and Damon having a go at each other with their snarky commentaries… that would be absolutely hilarious!
Jenna

Now why can’t SHE become Damon’s new BFF?!!! Loved her on SC, hope she rocks TVD :) And maybe, just maybe Damon’s world, lol!!!
Jenna

Now that will be fun TV :) Her and Damon at it, in more ways than one!!! I hope she’s as edgy and sassy as she was on SC.

I read somewhere that she helped Tyler break his sire bond. It could be fake but if not, then she’s probably a werewolf. She’s probably there to throw a wrench at Forwood so that Klaroline can happen. I just hope the writers don’t hook her up with Damon but I won’t be surprised if that happened.
Tal1tha

Yep, Elena better watch out! lol
nick

I doubt Hayley will be anything more than a friend to Tyler. She’s going to be there to create complications with his relationship with Caroline so that she’ll turn to Klaus. Hope I’m wrong…
Tal1tha

Exactly much better drinking buddy then M. Probably depends on how her character is been written.
VAMPLOVER1973

I kinda thought she would be cast for this part…..I’m curious how Haley knows Tyler, when they met, ect……either way, welcome aboard…this is going to be good;)
Iansfan

… she and Damon could be a rather toxic mixture of thick skulls in many kinds of ways … Mr dark tall and handsome meeting Mrs female accidental sexiness wow! I can already see sparks flying from my screen…
ihatepeople

Her being a werewolf that he met on his ventures seems pretty likely. It could’ve been either when he was new and doing the rounds with Jules or when he left to break the bond. Since both Tyler and Caroline have been lifers in MF Caroline would already know her if she’d lived there before and is returning. A werewolf amongst the group could be fun.
cindychandler

I watched Secret Circle and despite hanging in there all season I wasn’t surprised when it wasn’t picked up for a second season. The cast and plotlines were weak…except for Faye. I’m glad to see that they recognized this actress’ talent and are giving her a chance on TVD. I kind of hope that her character is like Faye. ;)
ihatepeople

Since a vampires emotions are heightened could you imagine the jealousy that would flare if either of your scenarios happen?
Georgia_Peach

HA! I knew it! Welcome Phoebe Tonkin!
This is going to be so good!
From Beginning To End

Yeah I saw this coming since I knew KW wanted her on the show. First I thought she’d be the other new girl but when I read about Haley I was like, “Definitely going to be Phoebe.”

Hopefully she will end up being new love interest for Klaus. She would fit with Klaus so much better than Caroline – as Caroline hates him and is also mostly a flippant little ditz – doesn’t seem like someone that would attract an Original. Phoebe is drop dead gorgeous too. TVD is lucky to have her, but Kevin and Julie already know that :)
Lola Rose17

100% agree with you and many of your comment(im a big fan of elena and i understand her character).i was sure KW will cast her,some of the characters in this show are cast in strange way,but im dont know about her (never watched the SC),i ll wait and see.as for the show and what is going you r right.i think they need to sit and fix it.

BEST NEWS!!!!!!!! DYINGGGGGGG :O OMGGGGGG

Phoebe will SLAY….you´ll see….she´s such a good actress and sooo hilarious when being bitchy :O I ADORE HER!!!!
evangeline

love her! first claire now her<3

she could be damons new drinking buddy….that would be so cool!
pjtpjt

Yes!
Evesworld

I’m glad!!!! TVD needs some new faces who stay a little bit longer!!! There are too much vampires and i want to see some humans too :)

a fight between a vampire and a witch. lends a whole new meaning to girl fight! watch your back Caroline.
Evesworld

i think damon needs an adult to be his drinking buddy ;) i like her to be just a normal bitchy human being :)))

This is amazing news!! Can’t wait to see how the character is portrayed! I absolutley adore Phoebe Tonkin! And hey Claire came on in the third episode last season and is still around so lets hope the same goes for Phoebe
evangeline

or she is a bitchy female werwolf^^
Jenna

Now that would be worth watching… Elena seething with a little bit o’ jealousy ‘cos Damon’s found a ‘real’ drinking buddy, lol!!!
That would be a new storyline IMO, Elena truly tasting some of her own medicine for once, since I never really bought her whole jealousy over Rebekkah… was more like condemnation!!!
Jenna

Right, it would be great for her to see what she’s been doing to Damon for the past three seasons!!! That would be fun to watch!!! lol!
Accalia

Hopefully she’ll get together with Tyler so that Klaroline can finally happen!!!
http://twitter.com/ladyprom Maeggie D.

or maybe she´ll be a love interest for jeremy ???? :O
Georgia_Peach

Hayley is a 19 year old college student who has a history with Tyler. I’m pretty sure Hayley will be setting her sights on Tyler, which will be a situation Klaus may want to manipulate and capitalize on. I’m pretty sure, April (16 years old) will be the likely candidate as a love interest for Jeremy.
Guest

Caroline is not a flippant little ditz. That was season 1.
Cassie

I Hope this girl f***s Caroline up! Tyler needs a new girlfriend!
Swecar

Okay, I didnt really get into TSC but this girl rocked the few episodes I saw. Omg can’t believe it’s 2 months away.
Loretta

I just hope that she can speak in her regular Aussie accent. Because, no offence Phoebe, but your English one is not so great. :/
http://twitter.com/FictionWriteRUS Tessa Mack

I think Kalus is going to use Hayle to drive a wedge between Caroline and Tyler ( like I didn’t see that coming) I love Phoebe and I am so glad she will be joining the cast… I just hope that I’m wrong about my prediction… but I have a feeling that I am not :(

Either way can not wait to see this girl in action :D

Honestly, I hate the idea of PT as a werewolf but that’s what I thought she’d be too. It’s the most logical choice since it’s Tyler she shares a connection with but it was just leaked that she’s actually in fact a vampire which I couldn’t be more thrilled about lol
ihatepeople

Vampire huh? Well she’ll fit right in. Hmm makes me wonder then if her time there will be short lived. The vampire hunter will need to have people he can pick off and it won’t be any of our regulars. It’ll be interesting to see when Tyler met her…when he was on the road with Jules or when he broke the sire bond.
mary.m155

I really like her, she was the only thing good about The Secret Circle ;) I liked that show in the beginning but it went down hill for me towards the end… But anyways…She will rock TVD for sure.
mary.m155

Thats just her personality, lol what is a flippant?
mary.m155

Ya i like her as well!
mary.m155

or she is someone Damon hooks up with! ;0 lol sorry guys. maybe Tyler moves on to her…I would kinda like this Klaus and Car thing to play out…HOPEFULLY there isnt going to be a love triangle between the Car, Tyler, and Klaus for 3 seasons. that would suck.
