The Vampire Diaries episode 2.16 “The House Guest” is the last new show before it goes on another one of the dreaded CW month-long hiatus. No new episodes until April.

Knowing there is a long drought between episodes says tonight’s will be a doozy with enough mayhem, killing and shocking surprises to keep us interested on the break. So let’s get to it – here is the official synopsis:

A NIGHT OF CONFESSIONS — Katherine’s (Nina Dobrev) mind games are getting on everyone’s nerves, but Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) realize that her knowledge of Mystic Falls history will help them stay alive.  Frustrated with her relationship with Matt (Zach Roerig), Caroline (Candice Accola) finds a new way to get his attention.  Alaric (Matt Davis) makes a surprising confession to Jenna (Sara Canning), and Katherine makes a different kind of confession to Damon.  Stefan and Bonnie (Katerina Graham) try to convince Jonas (guest star Randy Goodwin) and Luka (guest star Bryton James) that they should all be working together, but Jonas’ lack of trust leads to a violent and fiery confrontation. Steven R. McQueen also stars. Michael Katleman directed the episode written by Caroline Dries (#216).

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 »

Paul Wesley was in New York City over the weekend and hit up the opening of the new Broadway play Elling, starring Brendan Fraser and Jennifer Coolidge. The Vampire Diaries star was dressed in shades of gray again, (why Paul, why?) as he mingled with the NYC theater crowd for the celebration.

Wesley is also into round three of EW’s Under-Appreciated Entertainer poll (he is definitely overshadowed by Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev and their possible off-screen romance, but he is just as integral to the storyline.) Want to vote for him and show him some love? Hit the link and maybe he will take the prize, as costar Somerhalder took EW’s Sexy Beast win this summer.

Check out a couple more photos of Paul in NYC inside. Read more »
