The Vampire Diaries is pulling out all the stops for season 2 dubbing it ‘The Year of the Kat’ as Katherine (Nina Dobrev) the vampire who set everything in motion with the Salvatore (Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder) brothers, returns.

That is one super hot peek.

TVD is back, Thursday September 9th at 8pm EST.

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.

The Vampire Diaries is coming to a critical part in the plotline – Elena (Nina Dobrev) pieces together that Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) are vampires. Here is the CW’s promo for this weeks ‘Lost Girls.’ This new episode will air Thursday night (10/15) at 8pm EST.

“Don’t look at me with those judge-y little eyes.”

The Vampire Diaries did not disappoint this week. The show is beginning to delve into the history of The Brothers Salvatore, their relationship to the town and the hotness that is Ian Somerhalder knows no bounds.

Awesome Twilight dig from Damon: “Edward is so whipped!”

So let’s sum it up:

Caroline (Candice Accola) is under Damon’s (Somerhalder) control for most of the episode. She knows he’s a vampire, he feeds on her blood and that he will kill her eventually and still keeps his secret. Stefan (Paul Wesley) is physically and mentally weaker than his evil brother because he does not feed on human blood and Damon takes advantage of this and invades his little bro’s dreams.

The town has a long standing tradition called The Founder’s Day party and the Salvatore family has history that is slowly being uncovered by Elena (Nina Dobrev.) Stefan tries to counter Damon’s mind manipulation and gives a vervain-enhanced locket to Elena so she can see through his wily attempts. Oh and the human uncle Zach has a secret stash of the plant growing. Damon tried to wipe out the anti-vampire plant vervain some time ago. Shhhh!

Elena’s family has a pocket watch that is coveted by the townspeople (who are aware that there are vampires in their midst) and the group wants it. Elena has handed it over to her brother who was sentimental about it belonging to their dead parents but a long lost love shows up to court their Aunt Jenna and get it back. Watch = Silver bullet/stake in the heart kinda protection perhaps?

Damon gets played by Stefan who spikes Caroline’s drink with vervain and when Damon drinks her blood, he ends up in spasms on the ground. Stephan and Zach throw Damon into the locked room with the strength sapping plant and think their problems are solved. Tricky!

After Damon’s influence is gone, Caroline starts to remember all the vile things Damon has done and is about to have a nervous breakdown in Elena’s arms.

Now it’s getting juicy!

Author LJ Smith wrote the trilogy of books The Vampire Diaries, back in 1991. Thanks in part to the success of Twilight, these vampires have made it to television as a weekly show. Unlike Summit Entertainment Studios relationship with Twilight’s author Stephanie Meyer, Smith has had “minimal” input into the CW Network’s TV show of her work. So what does Smith think of the small screen adaptation of her work?

“I think they have done an incredible job of interpreting it, especially presenting it for a teen audience,” she said. “I love the music. I love the cinematography, I think the cast is fabulous. I especially like Damon. Ian Somerhalder does very well. But I really, really like the Elena that they picked, Nina Dobrev. Even though she’s brunette, and not blond, which took some getting used to for me because in the book she’s blond, she’s a great actress. And I love the Stefan [Paul Wesley] that they’ve picked.”

While she has been uncertain how some plot points would work out, she has been watching and is pleased with the results so far. Smith must be relieved to actually like the work. So often in Hollywood, an author is left out in the cold while studios change characters and plots at their whim and the author is left unhappy. Nice to hear someone is getting it right. I enjoy The Vampire Diaries - especially Ian Somerhalder, but I might have mentioned that a few times already…
