Much to the surprise of their friends, Matt (Zach Roerig) and Caroline (Candice Accola) continue to hang out together. When Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) tells Damon (Ian Somerhalder) there has been another attack, he offers to track down the killer and learns a startling piece of information about the town's founding families. Alaric (guest star Matt Davis) steps in to help during an awkward scene with Jeremy, Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Mayor Lockwood (guest star Rob Pralgo). Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) come to a new understanding, but everything changes when Elena accidentally makes a devastating discovery.

Serial changes from the book to the tv show

The television series has changed many things in adapting the novels to screen. Some minor changes include characters’ last names being changed and their relationships to each other somewhat altered. Some major changes include renaming the town the story is set in. Fell’s Church was changed to Mystic Falls, as producers were unable to get legal clearance for the name. Also, Jeremy Gilbert, Elena’s younger brother, is not a character in the novels (Elena instead has a little sister named Margaret). Similarly, the character of Jenna Sommers, Elena’s aunt, was originally named Judith Gilbert in the novels. The character of Bonnie in the novels was a red head and a descendant to the Druids, in the TV series she appears African-American and is a descendant of the Salem witches. Also Vicki and Matt are brother and sister in the TV series but aren’t in the novels.

Both Damon’s and Stefan’s back stories have also been changed. Instead of hailing from Renaissance Italy, Stefan and Damon appear to be from Civil War-era Mystic Falls. Another addition is Zach, Stefan and Damon’s human relative, as this character never appeared in the novels. Also, in the novels, Elena is described as a blonde, blue-eyed, “ice princess”, whereas in the show she is a brown-eyed brunette. In the books, Caroline is also depicted as an “Egyptian Princess”, where in the show she has blonde hair and blue eyes. Elena’s other best friend Meredith from the novel is not in the TV series. However, it has been hinted that she will eventually appear.

Halloween!

Here’s an adorable shot of Nina Dobrev (Willy Wonka), Katerina Graham (Vampire), Kayla Ewell (Pirate) and Sara Canning (Sally, Night Before Christmas) all dressed up for Heidi Klum’s 10th Annual Halloween Party courtesy of Vampire Diaries Show. You can check out the rest HERE.

Paul Wesley interview

"I hate to admit this," Paul Wesley says, "but I've never really owned a TV." It's quite a confession, given that the actor's appeared in more than two dozen small-screen series, including 24, The O.C., and C.S.I. "I've had cameos on some cool shows," he says. "But it's nice to now be doing something that I'm involved in from the beginning."

He's talking, of course, about The Vampire Diaries--the new CW drama based on L.J. Smith's bestselling books. Starring as sensitive vampire Stefan Salvatore, Paul's a natural on camera, but getting into character was challenging: "I'm 150 years old but trapped in a teenager's body, I have these supernatural abilities, and whenever my hormones go out of whack"--like, for example, when he sees his love interest, Elena (Nina Dobrev)--"my eyes turn bloodred, and I get all pale and veiny." He could, however, relate to Stefan's reclusiveness: "I wasn't some weird loner in school, but I definitely wasn't invited to any of the cool parties," the New Jersey native, who started missing classes after he was cast on a soap opera sophomore year, says. "Girls didn't like me that much--I didn't even go to my prom."

Paul didn't just draw from his own experience; he also did his research. "The minute I was cast, I plowed through all the books." And he made a point of not reading or watching Twilight. "I didn't want to be influenced by it at all," he says. But the other bloodsuckers were hard to avoid: New Moon and The Vampire Diaries were both being shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, last April. "The cast was staying at our hotel--we saw them everywhere and hung out all the time. They're actually really nice people." And while critics have been quick to call the show a Twilight spin-off (though, for the record, Smith's books were written before Stephenie Meyer's), Paul, who recently relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to continue filming, disagrees: "They have vampires and high school romance in common, but that's about it." --LINDSAY TALBOT

Kayla Ewell Talks Vicki and Vampire Diaries

Kayla Ewell, who plays Vicki of course, has a given a new interview where she talks of her character and the show.

She’s given this interview after Haunted, so I don’t want to write much here, because it is obviously very full of spoilers for those who don’t know what happens with Vicki.

So, you can read the interview behind the cut.

**SPOILER ALERT**

Vampire Diaries’ Kayla Ewell talks about Vicki dying & a possible return. Michael Ausiello over at EW recently interviewed Kayla Ewell who plays Vicki on the CW’s new hit show “Vampire Diaries.”

In an exclusive interview with them, she talked about when she first new that her character would be killed off the show,how she felt about it,filming alternate death scenes,and a possible return for Vicki.

First, she did confirm that Vicki is really dead by stating, ” Sadly, yes. It’s funny because I almost died four times on the show.”

Next, she talked about finally being able to tell her friends the truth about not currently working on the show,since she had to keep Vicki’s death a secret. She stated, “Yes. It’s a relief to finally be able to talk about it. People have been coming up to me in L.A. going, “Why aren’t you in Atlanta working on the show?” And I’m like, “Oh, I’m just here visiting my family. I had a couple of days off.” I’ve had to basically lie. But The CW and Warner Bros. wanted my death to be a big shock. And I think it will be.”

She revealed that she knew early on that Vicki would die. She stated, “I knew very early on. But knowing it and actually going through it are two completely different things. Seven episodes is a lot of time to bond with people. Being back in L.A. has been harder than I thought it would be because this job was more special to me than any other job I’ve ever done.”

She also said she knew that when she first signed on, that it would only be for seven episodes. She stated, Yes. Vicki’s death was something that needed to happen in order for Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) to go through a transformation.”

She talked about shooting her death scene,and how they had to reshoot it because of a change in script. She stated, “Funny story: In the original script, Jeremy kills Vicki. And that’s what we shot. Jeremy is forced to choose between saving the love of his life or his sister, and he chooses his sister. We shot the whole thing and I moved back to L.A. Then about a week and a half later, I got an e-mail from Kevin and coexecutive producer Julie Plec asking me to come back to Atlanta to reshoot my death scene,only this time Stefan kills me.

Finally, she gave a little insight on how a possible return for Vicki might be feasible in the future. She stated, “Anything can happen on a vampire show. Dying doesn’t necessarily mean that someone’s gone forever.In the original script, when Vicki gets staked you see her disappear into dust. But in the reshot scene that aired, Stefan pulls the stake out and Damon takes me away. So they left the ending open to interpretation.”

I was personally thinking that same think,too. I was actually thinking that they could say Stefan missed her heart,if they decided to bring her back in the future.

Mind control

Elena wants Jeremy to believe Vicki ran away and isn't coming back—so much so that she trusted the most untrustworthy of people (undead or alive) to make it happen. Did she make the right decision? Did she have a choice? Jeremy turned to drugs and alcohol when his parents died, and one can only imagine what Vicki's tragic end would do to him. So now Jeremy will think Vicki abandoned him and he may never know that his first love loved him back. If you were in Elena’s shoes, what would you have done?

R.I.P Vicki Donovan

We haven't been turned into vampires (yet), so we don't know what Vicki was going through, but we can imagine that the transformation wasn't easy. She wasn't even ready to go out in public, so should she really have had to pay for attacking Elena with her own life? And what about poor Matt and Jeremy? They'd been through so much already. Now they're suffering another loss.The world may be better off with one less chronically bad girl, but we'll still miss Vicki. Here's hoping eveyone's favorite twice-dead girl rests in peace. Do tell us, though, do you think she got what she deserved?

Love or hate

On The Vampire Diaries, it’s good brother versus evil brother. Sometimes it seems like evil has more fun, and with Ian Somerholder’s hot portrayal of Damon, it’s hard not to cheer for the bad guy. But then he goes ahead and tries to kill Caroline and Vicki? It’s a tough call—do you love Damon? Hate him? Or just love to hate him?
