The long wait is finally OVER!

The Vampire Diaries returns tonight with episode 12 “The Descent” and it’s all new! All Delena shippers rejoice – Damon and Elena get close and hug – at least for a moment (see that photo below.) Caroline is getting kissed by Tyler and Matt and Rose descends into madness.

Here is the official synopsis:

DOOM, GLOOM AND PERSONAL GROWTH — Stefan (Paul Wesley) has his own ideas about Elena’s (Nina Dobrev) new plan for the future.  While Damon (Ian Somerhalder) tries to get the truth out of Jules (guest star Michaela McManus), he asks Elena to keep an eye on Rose (guest star Lauren Cohan), a situation that turns unexpectedly dangerous.  Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig) try to be honest about their feelings for one another, and Tyler’s (Michael Trevino) reaction to Caroline’s generosity comes as a surprise to her.  Damon struggles to hide his true feelings when a life-and-death crisis hits him harder than he expected.  Matt Davis also stars.  Marcos Siega directed the episode written by Sarah Fain & Elizabeth Craft (#212).

Don’t forget to watch at 8pm on The CW. The show is up against American Idol so help out TVD and tune in tonight.

Nina Dobrev lands inside Elle Magazine’s February issue ‘Out of Character’ feature of women in television.

The Vampire Diaries star shared why she likes her TV role:

“Working on TV, you have this one character, and you have time to explore her, create her, see her develop into different people.”

The actress also tells Elle how hard it is to wear the period costumes:

“Wearing a corset kicks the wind out of you—I almost passed out once wearing it for 16 hours.”

It’s been such a long wait but Nina and costars Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Candice Accola and Michael Trevino will return with new TVD episodes Thursday January 27th.

Werewolves and witches were front and center as the last new episode of The Vampire Diaries for 2010 hit at the beginning of December.

So what’s on track now that Tyler (Michael Trevino) has had his first transformation? What’s up with Luca (Bryton James) and his pops Jonas (Randy J. Goodwin)? Now that Jules (Michaela McManus) has hit town, is she bringing her own wolf pack to handle the vampire threat, particularly Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) who just can’t help but tick off every new person he meets?

Producer Julie Plec gives us some hints to what lies ahead. Hit the link to see what she has to say about the future of Mystic Falls and it’s residents. Read more »

The Vampire Diaries heads into werewolf territory officially tonight in episode 2.11 “By The Light Of The Moon” and we see that the Lockwood family curse is really that – a curse. Oh yeah, and there is hot cave action between Stefan and Katherine…

“By The Light Of The Moon” (CONTENT RATING TBD) (HDTV)

TYLER FACES HIS FIRST TRANSFORMATION — As the full moon approaches, Caroline (Candice Accola) helps Tyler (Michael Trevino) prepare for the transformation he is powerless to stop.  While Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Katherine (Nina Dobrev) play mind games on one another, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Alaric (Matt Davis) are suspicious when a stranger named Jules (guest star Michaela McManus) shows up in Mystic Falls, searching for her missing friend, Mason.  Elena (Dobrev) is frustrated at the lengths Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and her friends have gone to in order to keep her safe.  Bonnie (Katerina Graham) and Luca (guest star Bryton James) work together on a spell, while still keeping secrets from one another.  Finally, Elijah (guest star Daniel Gillies) makes an unexpected appearance with an offer that could change everything.  Sara Canning and Zach Roering also star.

The Vampire Diaries is all new tonight, December 9th at 8pm on the CW. Don’t forget – tonight is the end of new episodes until late January!

Finally! The Vampire Diaries is back tonight and brand new. Episode 2.10 “The Sacrifice” and next week’s “By The Light Of The Moon” focus a bit more on the werewolf transformation that Tyler endures.

JEREMY MAKES A DANGEROUS MISTAKE — Elena (Nina Dobrev) decides to take matters into her own hands and offers a tempting incentive to Rose (guest star Lauren Cohan) for her help.  When things take an unexpected turn, however, Rose calls on Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to deal with the plan Elena has set in motion.  Jeremy’s (Steven R. McQueen) reckless attempt to help Bonnie (Katerina Graham) retrieve the moonstone lands him in a life-threatening position and forces Stefan (Paul Wesley) to put himself in danger.  Bonnie and Luka (guest star Bryton James) form a closer connection.  Tyler (Michael Trevino) shows Caroline (Candice Accola) the Lockwood cellar, where she makes a discovery that leaves them both terrified.  Sara Canning, Zach Roerig and Matt Davis also star.

Catch the epi tonight, Thursday December 2nd at 8PM on The CW.

In one season on The Vampire Diairies, Candice Accola’s Caroline has gone from human midnight snack for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to a powerful, slightly neurotic vampire forging a friendship (and possible romance) with werewolf in waiting Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino). Accola sees the two forming a sort of alliance that is becoming so strong, all things are possible between the two supernatural characters:

There are hints that Tyler and Caroline’s friendship is something more. Are we going to see them develop a romance?
A lot of great romances can grow from friendship. Of course, there’s definitely a possibility of that. Whether or not that’s going to happen, I don’t know. We’re not that much farther ahead of the audience. So I really don’t know. I know that … Caroline’s the only one that knows what Tyler’s been going through, so that friendship isn’t just going to go away. There’s something there. Whether that turns into a romantic relationship or whether it turns into a really beautiful support system for one another, who knows. The fans will just have to stay tuned and watch.

Romance or friendship-wise, do you think they’re doomed in a way since vampires and werewolves are historically enemies?
It’s definitely got a Romeo and Juliet quality to it, the idea of them becoming romantic. Who knows? That didn’t end very well with Romeo and Juliet. [Laughs] Hopefully, it wouldn’t be that same result for Caroline and Tyler. I don’t know. Really, right now, the most prominent thing going on between both of them is finding a safe place for Tyler to transform. It’s really about his transformation right now. It’s not about anything else, which I think is such a wonderful thing because, for Caroline, any involvement with a member of the opposite sex was immediately sexual throughout the first season. It was immediately like crush-worthy. It wasn’t just like a friendship. I think it’s just a lovely way of showing that she as a character has grown within the second season. It’s more than just about a boy I immediately have to have a crush on. It’s a friendship. It’s something a little bit more substantial.

So what is in store for Caroline & Tyler? The last two shows of 2010 on December 2nd and 9th deal with the werewolves and Tyler’s transformation so there should be lots of scenes together. Should we call them Cyler or Taroline or Fockwood? Either way – I like the Romeo and Juliet aspect of these two characters.

Accola has truly been a wonderful surprise in the second season of TVD – and for a show that is consistently raising the bar every week with twists and shockers – that is saying something.

Check out The Vampire Diaries episode 2.10 “The Sacrifice” on Thursday December 2nd on The CW.

Nina Dobrev is always multi-tasking. The December cover model for Russia’s ElleGirl magazine has a lot on her professional plate.

Playing the roles of Katherine the vampire and her dopplegänger descendant, human Elena on The Vampire Diaries is quite a challenge, but Dobrev is up for it and is “working really hard.”

Along with having twice the scenes, Dobrev has also added an unofficial title to her resume: translator. The actress, who was born in Bulgaria and relocated to Toronto, Canada with her family when she was young, can speak Bulgarian. This came in handy as the writers of the show put Katherine’s origins in her birth country. Dobrev had to tweak her lines a bit, with help from her Mom:

“I called my mom, and she and I translated it,” Dobrev said of the Bulgarian dialogue in the episode titled “Katerina.”

“I think the writers had used an internet translator and it was so funny. All those online translators are never right. So we did it. I translated my own dialogue, but I called my mom just to confirm I was right.”

The 21 year-old actress has been doing a great job playing both parts convincingly, but perhaps she will have a bit of a rest coming up. TVD returns with new episodes on December 2nd and 9th and these seem to (you can never be too sure with the writers on this show!) focus more on the werewolf transformation of Tyler (Michael Trevino.) Love the show, Nina and I can’t wait for new episodes!

The Vampire Diaries has only two new episodes left between now and the holidays so they have to pack the kinda punch that keeps everyone hooked until the January 2011 shows. The big teaser all season long has been will Tyler (Michael Trevino) Lockwood activate the curse (yes!) and when will his transformation to a werewolf be seen. Executive producer Julie Plec explained the upcoming December 2nd episode like this:

“They shot it (the transformation) over two days. Closed set, special effects makeup guys, visual effects guys, Michael Trevino ready to rip out his soul and expose it bare to the world. I think if it’s even half as good as what we want it to be, it’s gonna be amazing.”

This part we already knew, but what she says next is kinda spoilery so don’t go further if you don’t want to know!
