Gossip Teen

Actress Mia Kirshner, best known for her roles in “The L Word” and “24”, will play Elena’s (Nina Dobrev) mother Isobel, who abandoned her daughter while she was still a baby. Isobel, a woman fascinated by vampires who apparently was turned into one by Damon (Ian Somerhalder), wants to meet Elena at all costs but their relationship won’t be easy as the slogan – “Connected to her mother by blood, not love” – suggests.
