The November 23rd issue of TV Guide Magazine (out Friday) contains a Vampire Diaries sneak peek (re: SPOILERS) at the show’s return in the New Year, and the clues dropped are sure to make the wait ’til January even more excruciating. (Thanks, Denise!)

Highlight for spoilers (this includes tomorrow night’s episode – so if you don’t wanna know, don’t read!):

• Julie Plec says “all will be revealed” about a vampire’s return and Alaric’s motivations.
• Elena and Stefan are “on the outs.”
• Elena joins Damon for “a little adventure” to visit a witch (Gina Torres). “The big question: Is Elena willingly with Damon or is he controlling her since she’s lost her vamp-blocking vervain?”
• Bonnie will try using her developing witch-skills to keep the vampire tomb sealed.
• Matt and Caroline will get closer.
• What really happened to Vicki will be revealed and it will put all relationships at risk.

Speaking of magazines, you might want to pick up a copy of People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue (Johnny Depp on the cover) when it hits stands this Friday. It has a section devoted to vampires, featuring stars of Twilight, True Blood, and yes, Vampire Diaries.

For anyone who missed E’s “10 Vampires We Love” special on Monday night, you have plenty of opportunity to catch a repeat. Thanks to Zap2It for the schedule and @CW_VampDiaries for the heads up. You can see snippets from the Kevin Williamson and Ian Somerhalder interviews on E’s website. (There’s also an interview with Anne Rice where she utters the words “Vampire Diaries” – I think a piece of my brain actually broke off.) Hopefully the entire segment will surface soon, as it features sound bites from Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, Zach Roerig, and Kayla Ewell. While Ian was featured at #10 on the “Love” index, the piece was really about the show as a whole, and there were some fun facts (most previously known), including:

• Kevin Williamson and True Blood executive producer Alan Ball are neighbors.
• The blood mixture includes raspberries.
• Julie: “First thing [Kevin] said was call the True Blood guys and find out what they do because their blood is awesome.”
• Kevin explains that they hired the True Blood special effects team and told them, “whatever you do, keep it different, so we can keep our show special and unique.”
• Vampire Diaries uses several editors who also work on True Blood.
• Red contacts that cover the entire eye and fangs are the only “real” effects, the rest being CGI.
• The sound of a vampire’s bite? Celery. (Ha!)

 
And finally, an AP video interview with Ian: “Damon just wants his girl back. And he wants his brother back. And he’s going to stop at absolutely nothing to get ‘em.”
