They also had some nice stuff to say about Atlanta

QUOTE:
According to executive producer Kevin Williamson, “Diaries” — which seems a lock for a season 2 — has benefitted greatly from its Atlanta production location.
“I think we’re going to stay in Atlanta — Atlanta has been very good to us,” he said, noting the benefit of the Georgia state production credit. “We have an amazing crew down there that keeps delivering for us day after day. This is a great-looking show with a very polished look.”
For his part, actor Paul Wesley, who plays the dark, mysterious Stefan Salvatore on the series, said the youthful cast benefits from not having media-capital distractions around.
“We only have each other, and that shows up in the chemistry on screen,” he said.
“We’re not exposed,” concurred castmate Ian Somerhalder, who plays Damon Salvatore. “There’s no other media that we have access to.”

Also Paul Wesley made his perennial case for Stefan getting darker.
QUOTE:
“I feel Stefan is as much capable as the dark side as much as Damon,” [Wesley] says. “It’s up to Kevin and Julie to explore, but I like to think that’s always there. First and foremost we’re vampires, but we have certain instincts we have to fulfil and we can’t run from.”
