Thanks to the CW for uploading this awesome extended trailer that pretty much sums up the entire season of The Vampire Diaries First Season. I noticed one “never before seen” clip in there, let’s see if you guys can figure out which one it is. Sound off in the comments!

TV Guide has posted more of their interview with Julie Plec. When will Damon and Stefan find out about Katherine? And what will Katherine be up to this season? To find out, read on!

TVGuide.com: What is Katherine’s goal this season?
Plec: She sets her sights on basically making sure that the Stefan [Paul Wesley] and Elena love story hits a snag. It’s going to be fun seeing Stefan and Katherine come up against each other. Obviously it’s fun to see Damon [Ian Somerhalder] and Katherine because there’s a lot of history there, too, but the triangle becomes the square.

TVGuide.com: How long will it take Stefan and Damon to figure out it’s not Elena?
Plec: They both know within the first 15 minutes of the first episode. Damon realizes he was duped, and Stefan comes face-to-face with Katherine. The fun of it is how Stefan responds to the moment, as opposed to how Damon responded to the moment.

Read the rest of the interview.

Thanks to MTV Hollywood Crush for these awesome and absolutely hilarious videos of the cast of The Vampire Diaries at Comic-Con. They all stopped by the MTV Tower to chat about what we can expect from next season. Lots of laughs had, and spoilers revealed. So check them out!

E!Online‘s Kristin Dos Santos chats it up with Ian, Paul, Nina, Steven and Kevin in the press room at Comic-Con. Here’s a great interview with Ian. He talks about the fans and makes the greatest statement when Kristin asks a question about whether he is able to walk through without getting mobbed. Here’s what he says,

“It’s not mobbed, it’s just a lot of enthusiasm in here. I think that people who complain about amazing fans appreciating what you are doing, and being happy and coming up to you, I think it’s lame (insert adorable Damon eye roll here) when people complain about that.”

Check out what Kristin says after, and I happen to agree with her. Yes, Ian, you made me love you even more. The rest of the interviews are after the jump.

Congratulations to Leticia! She has won the last giveaway, an autographed photo of Ian Somerhalder. (results below) Thanks again to everyone that participated in the giveaways, I have enjoyed doing them, and hope to be able to offer more very soon! Thanks again, to Hub Productions for providing the autographed photos. And of course, last but not least, to Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder for taking their time out to sign them for us!

Awesome interviews with the cast and producers of The Vampire Diaries at Comic-Con with EW’s Michael Ausiello. Click the pic below to take you to the video interviews! My favorite part of the 2nd video is how they discuss how they have chosen the wolves that each actor (Michael Trevino and Taylor Kinney) will transform into. I’m getting so excited, I can’t stand it!

Do you like The Vampire Diaries? How ’bout spoilers—you a fan of those, too? If you answered yes to one or both of those questions then run—don’t walk—to the embedded video player after the jump. It features an exclusive two-part interview with the cast and producers of The CW’s second-year vampire phenom that is so insanely scoopy (particularly part 2 with EPs Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec) I almost feel a little guilty posting it. I said almost.

Whoa…check out this major scoopage from executive producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec! The Vampire Diaries showrunners sat down with William Keck of TV Guide to discuss some of their season 2 secrets they are plotting. Here’s a little taste of the interview, but you MUST head on over to TV Guide for the rest!

TV Guide Magazine: Speaking of which, both Twilight and True Blood have plunged heavily into werewolf territory, which you are about to do in your new season.
Plec: We actually talked about this a lot, because we didn’t want to be the third to bring something to the table. But it’s in the Vampire Diaries books and the character of Tyler Lockwood could not and should not exist without this werewolf arc. We started laying the groundwork for this story all last season, so to negate that genre element would have been to negate the entire Tyler character.
Williamson: Every vampire story has a werewolf nearby. It’s just the way it is.

TV Guide Magazine: What will your werewolves look like?
Williamson: Wolves, and we’ll show them transform. But not right away. And I think on True Blood their werewolves transform at will, whereas Tyler is bound by the full moon. Once a month he can’t control it.

TV Guide Magazine: And now it’s looking as though True Blood is about to introduce werepanthers.
Williamson: Really? Well we’ll introduce were-armadillos!
