Vampire Diaries 24/7

Video preview from The Vampire Diaries cast Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley in the Rolling Stones photo shoot.

McQueen’s username is @McQueenInChains and has been confirmed by both Kat Graham (Bonnie) and Matt Davis (Alaric).

Whet your appetite with this all-new season preview of The Vampire Diaries. Catch the season premiere Thursday, Sept. 15 on The CW.

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, 32, along with co-star Paul Wesley (in a Rogue denim shirt), came out to support their CW show, which was up for Choice TV Show Fantasy/Sci-Fi.

Being a teenage vampire or werewolf in Mystic Falls isn't easy. There are always crazy creatures trying to sacrifice you, parents shooting at your friends, hot uncles getting tortured and killed, and bars getting set on fire right when you finish the best karaoke performance of your life. In Season 2 of "The Vampire Diaries," Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) dealt with all that and more.

When Season 3 premieres on Sept. 15, the sacrifice is behind them, but they've got some other supernatural consequences to struggle with. "There's a quote. I think Tyler says, 'I'm just horny all the time,'" executive producer Julie Plec tells us at Comic-Con.

Yep. We already knew that Tyler's rage issues were heightened by his little lycanthropy problem, and that when Caroline started drinking blood she struggled with increased neuroses. Looks like you can add teenage hormones to the list of boosted emotions.

"There is a moment in the first episode where they admit that the urges that come along with being a supernatural being, physically, are a little overwhelming. Last year they were struggling with all the horrible parts of being supernatural entities, they start to discuss a little bit about the side effects of being a vampire/werewolf," Plec elaborates.

"It's important to sort of not completely forget the good guy, the soul that he has, that Stefan that we've all known for two years."

The 32-year-old Vampire Diaries actor was on his way to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress to help save Leatherback turtles.

“Looking around the world at these wildlife, it’s abundantly clear that humans have benefited from nature in so many ways but have also brought many species to the brink of extinction,” Ian said in his testimony.

Nina Dobrev discusses Vampire Diaries: Season 3 and how Elena is reacting to Stefan's big changes. Plus, can Katherine be redeemed?

Ian Somerhalder talks with press at Comic Con about Vampire Diaries Season 3!

When and why did you decide to bring back Anna (Malese Jow) and Vicki (Kayla Ewell)?
Julie Plec: Early on in the season, we started talking about how much fun it would be to bring favorite characters back. When we started thinking about where we were taking Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) over the course of this season and where we were going to end him, we thought of the idea of him seeing people from his past as a result of being brought back to life. The decision to bring Vicki back was instantaneous because Kayla was so well loved and it was devastating to say goodbye. Anna was such a fan favorite, and so we had the opportunity to take a character that the audience was outraged that we had the audacity to kill and give her another story. And it's just the beginning.


When will we learn what Jeremy seeing dead people means?
Plec: We'll get a good sense in the first episode or two how they're manifesting themselves and where they're coming from. As we get deeper into the season, we'll start to understand that they have a compass and they have their own master plan. You'll have to wait and see whether or not that's a diabolical master plan, [but] I think the minute you get any supernatural entity dropping into Mystic Falls, somebody is going to be at risk. The question is: Who do you like more — the supernatural person or the human?


What will the return of Jeremy's past loves mean for his present girlfriend Bonnie (Katerina Graham)?
Plec: There is a wonderful double meaning of what the witches said to Bonnie that there will be consequences. She went against the order of nature [to save Jeremy] and now there are obviously supernatural consequences for what she did, but clearly there are going to be emotional consequences. These two girls are girls Jeremy loved very profoundly. Bonnie is a nice, new, warm, wonderful, healthy relationship and inevitably it's always the healthy relationship that gets tested when the [more volatile] relationship comes back.


The season finale had another major moment: the kiss between Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev). Did you hesitate giving the "Delena" fans that moment too soon?
Plec: I felt like it was something that needed to happen to end Damon's story line for the season. His entire journey had been, "I'm not worthy of you" and at the end of the season, as he's dying, she tells him, "Yes, you are; you're worthy." For her to be able to show that in a sweet kiss, telling him that she likes him the way he is and he doesn't need to change for her, I thought was really important and a really nice ending to that journey. Of course, in their world, the end of any journey opens up the beginning of a whole lot of drama.


How will that be addressed next season?
Plec: There are a lot of complicated feelings attached to that moment, the biggest being that Stefan was off saving Damon's life while Damon was confessing, yet again, his love for his brother's girlfriend. There's going to be a sense of obligation and guilt attached to it, but Damon does what Damon's going to do. And for now, Elena's boyfriend is gone, possibly dead, and Damon's there as a friend trying to help her save Stefan, and anything can happen there.


Will Stefan be back for Elena's big 18th birthday party in the premiere?
Plec: When we come back, no one will have heard from him, no one will have seen him and the audience won't know where he's been and what he's going through is going to be pretty surprising. One of the little big moments [in the episode] is wondering what Damon gives Elena for her birthday and if Stefan makes an appearance to blow out the candles on the cake.


You dubbed Season 3 "The Year of the Originals."
Plec: In the beginning, we'll catch nice glimpses in flashbacks of a time when Stefan was a true ripper. We'll get to see what that was like and how he got this reputation that Klaus has been holding on to because Klaus wants Stefan to be his wingman. Then, once we get into our second chapter in mid-fall-early winter, that's when we're really going to be digging deeply into the history of the original family and go all the way back in flashbacks to the year 1000 approximately. We're going to tell their origin story, see where and who Klaus comes from, why he is the way he is and why he so desperately needs some therapy or a hug.


Will Elijah (Daniel Gillies) be back?
Plec: Yes. I can't live in a world in which Daniel Gillies is not a part of it in some way. He can go book the next Bourne Identity for all I care, I'm still going to make him come back.


After pulling out some pretty big guns in Season 2, how do you raise the stakes for Season 3?
Plec: The stakes are instantly raised because we have our good brother who is in the grip of Klaus' influence and demands and his own demons, so we're about to watch our hero go down a very dark road — and it's not going to be pretty. Then you have a character seeing people from his past and there are a lot of things that could open up because we've got a lot of people in the past that weren't necessarily so nice. We're also pushing all our relationships to the next level. We left Caroline and Tyler not really sure where they stood with each other. We've seen Tyler come to terms with himself and now we're going to get to see what that means for him in this town, in his family, and in his relationship and friendship with Caroline. I feel like there's more opportunity this season then there has been the first two seasons.

I can’t wait for The Vampire Diaries to come back! Teases! Hints! Anything you can say? — Mel
I’m betting I’ll have more to say after Comic-Con next week, and feel free to submit your questions in case I find some incredibly informed people who might be able to answer them. (I will.) Until then, imagine the meanest, drunkest Stefan you’ve ever seen. Can’t? Well, you’ll be seeing him soon.

Though it's been reported that Atlanta actress Lilly Roberson was cast as Becky, a former flame of Stefan's, sources confirm to Zap2it that Becky is still in the casting stages. Roberson, who previously had a guest role on "Without a Trace," is actually playing Sofie, Tyler's (Michael Trevino) date to the birthday bash.

Don't worry, though. This new love interest isn't likely to make quite the lasting impression on our favorite werewolf that Caroline (Candice Accola) did. While Tyler and Caroline are currently in the friend zone, the potential romance that was built up in Season 2 is definitely going to surface again as they battle with the fact that they're members of two warring species.

For those of you worried about Emma’s first role post Harry Potter, Nina assures fans that Ms. Hermione Granger has it covered. "I think they're going to be excited to see her in something else," says Nina. "And see her spread her wings and try different things. It's always exciting to see someone you love do something different and see a different side of them." Speaking of which, Dobrev herself is slipping into a very different persona from the one we see on The Vampire Diaries.

"My character is a victim of abuse," Dobrev says. "So she's abused, and [my brother] Charlie [played by Logan Lerman] witnesses that. That's kind of my drama of the movie."

Ian admitted in a new interview that he doesn't really know what will happen and that he's curious to see where Damon's storyline will go.

"I don't know if Damon is going to be conflicted and actually feel bad [because of Stefan]," Ian explained, "or decide to kill the emotion." He added that Damon could either be unbearably apologetic, be happy that Stefan is gone or, he said jokingly, join Stefan and Klaus in their human hunt.

"I'm excited to see where they take the character," Kayla said, "They've have vampires, they've had werewolves, they've had witches, but, they have yet to have ghosts or angels, or whatever it is that Vicki is."

"It will be interesting to see if Jeremy will have to choose between Vicki and Anna... what would he do?" Still, Kayla could not help but joke that Jeremy is such "a lucky man, he's got three beautiful women after him!"

“I think Elena has moved closer to Damon,” Candice said when asked about the pair's love potential on the next season, "I think that the writers did a beautiful job in setting up the cliffhanger in which I am kind of terrified to see what has become of Stefan (Paul Wesley) now that he has fed into his urges, no pun intended!"

"I think that we're all really happy for each other," Dobrev said when asked if she felt a kinship with the Twilight stars. "I'm very happy that they exist because we exist because of them. Their success is our success."

According to various reports, producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec have already written out a storyline for the third season of The CW's hit series The Vampire Diaries. Recently, Julie revealed some possible spoilers that could take place.


For starters, she recapped the moment in which Elijah told Katherine that she reminded him of someone he once new. Plec revealed that Elijah was referring to the original Petrova Doppleganger. The original Petrova's blood was used to seal Klaus' curse 1000 years ago. Julie hopes fans get to meet her but she isn't making any promises as it's too soon to tell.

In addition, Julie also mentioned that fans may meet another one of Elena's friends from the book series, Meredith. She could make an appearance and if that's the case, the show may go in a whole new direction.

Finally, Julie revealed that Damon will continue to struggle with his humanity and won't always know how to deal with it. She went on to say that he'll revert, feel remorse and change for the better. Unfortunately, there will be times where Damon won't be able to stop himself and it definitely won't always be pretty.

PopWrap: What excites you about the possibilities this raises for season three?
Nina: The entire third season is like a blank slate – I think it’s going to feel like a completely new show now that Stefan has gone to the dark side. He will be with Klaus and I think that’ll set up a dark shift because when we started Damon was the mysterious one with all the fog following him [laughs]. Now I think we’ll see that come back with Stefan and Elena is turned around because she doesn’t know what to do.

8:00-9:00 P.M. "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES"

Based on the best-selling book series, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is the story of two vampire brothers, obsessed with the same gorgeous girl, who are battling to control the fate of an entire town. In season one, Stefan and Damon Salvatore returned to their hometown of Mystic Falls, Virginia, for very different reasons. Stefan was determined to get to know Elena Gilbert, who bears a striking resemblance to Katherine Pierce, the beautiful but ruthless vampire the brothers knew and loved - in 1864. Damon, on the other hand, was intent on releasing Katherine from the tomb where he believed she was trapped by a witch's spell all those years ago. In the explosive season finale, Elena's uncle set a plan in motion that saw the return of the vengeful Katherine Pierce. In season two, Katherine's appearance and her precise manipulation threw a wrench into the love triangle between Stefan, Elena and Damon, and the other residents of Mystic Falls were forced to choose sides as they fell victim to a new breed of danger. Stefan and Damon were later met with their greatest challenge yet - the arrivals of Elijah and Klaus, two of the "original" vampires. As Klaus goes head to head with Damon and takes a special interest in Stefan, he is also seemingly focused on breaking the "Sun and Moon" curse by sacrificing Elena. Yet no matter what action the brothers take to protect Elena, Klaus won't be swayed from his mission, proving to be the most powerful vampire in existence. Season three opens the door to learn more about Klaus and The Original Family as his motives for wanting Stefan on his side are finally revealed. As Stefan sinks deeper into the dark side, Damon and Elena struggle with the guilt of their growing bond even as they work together to bring Stefan back from the edge. The ghosts from Jeremy's past have a powerful message they're trying to deliver to him, not to mention the impact they're having on his relationship with Bonnie. And as Caroline and Tyler grow closer, a war erupts between their families. The series stars Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert, Paul Wesley as Stefan Salvatore, Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore, Steven R. McQueen as Jeremy Gilbert, Kat Graham as Bonnie Bennett, Candice Accola as Caroline Forbes, Zach Roerig as Matt Donovan, Michael Trevino as Tyler Lockwood, Matt Davis as Alaric Saltzman and Joseph Morgan as Klaus.

PopWrap: How do you feel about the season finale?
Kevin Williamson: I was excited that we got to bring a few of the storylines to a close, so not everything was left as a cliffhanger, while also introducing some new threads for next year. Next season there are several places we can pick up, we don’t have to start right where we left off this time.

PW: The finale also leaves us in an intriguing place for the Stefan-Elena-Damon relationship. What excites you about where that goes in season three?
Kevin: We’re in an interesting place now with Stefan and Klaus – and Damon is in a place where he never wanted to be. If he didn’t like playing hero this year, what’s going to happen when he’s forced to do the right thing and save his brother? [laughs] It’s going to be an interesting journey. It’ll be exactly what we set out for, but of course we’ll twist it and turn it. That’s the goal. I’m excited to see the dynamic shift with those three. For Elena, after two seasons of loving her as a strong female figure, I think the audience will now finally hopefully be receptive seeing her buy into what Katherine said, that it’s ok for Elena to love both Stefan and Damon.

PW: So ... less witches in season three?
Kevin: Oh, no. Don’t get me wrong, I love the witches – and there’s another whole show I’m involved in about witches. I’m glad we told Bonnie’s story – she is another one who I’m so proud of this season.

Check out the hot new promo!

"If I did what I think I've done with it, and what I hope I've done with the role and the way that I've done it, then people are going to recognize Klaus as the most evil person ever to visit Mystic Falls. Absolutely. The worst is yet to come."

Julssmarzari: I want The Vampire Diaries, por favor.
Who else thinks the Originals are an awesome addition to this season? We do. And so goes TVD boss Julie Plec, who says that season three has been dubbed: "Season of the Originals." So, expect at least one Original to survive the bloodbath during the remaining episodes.

Lauren_eli7: Will something finally happen between Damon and Elena on The Vampire Diaries?
"Something" is such a broad term. We can narrow it down to this: something fans have been expecting will happen between Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) in the remaining episodes. And of course, something that fans will not be expecting will also happen. Vague? Maybe. But we bet you smart TVD fans have some ideas.

Ian Somerhalder arrives at the White House Correspondenets' Dinner party at the Washington Hilton on Saturday (April 30) in Washington, DC.

The 32-year-old actor was joined by his girlfriend and Vampire Diaries co-star, Nina Dobrev.
Nina, 22, wore a white Dolce & Gabbana dress and accessorized with a Chopard diamond necklace.
