Vampire Diaries Spoilers – EW Exclusive First Look at David Anders
Posted by Ruthie • No Comments »

EW has an exclusive first look at David Anders on The Vampire Diaries. Check it out! And beware below, if you don’t want to be spoiled.

Vampire Diaries execs didn’t have to cut through any bloody red tape to cast David Anders as Elena and Jeremy’s uncle, Jonathan Gilbert. “When we started talking about this role, I immediately thought, ‘What about Sark from Alias?’ executive producer Julie Plec recalls. “We called his agent the next day and the day after that [the deal was] done.”It’s fair to say Anders’ arrival in Mystic Falls will be slightly more complicated. The Alias and Heroes alum makes his debut in the April 15 episode when it comes time for Elena and Jeremy to sell their father’s doctor office. “He has to sign the escrow papers but he isn’t quite ready to give the office up,” explains fellow e.p., Kevin Williamson. “But like everyone else in town, he’s there for something [else]. His intentions are not pure.”

We wouldn’t have it any other way. Would we?

More Vampire Diaries Casting News On Spencer Locke’s Role
Posted by Ruthie • No Comments »

Well, well. We have quite a bit of buzz about Spencer Locke’s role on The Vampire Diaries floating around on the Internet and Twittersphere since we posted about her casting the other day. So here we go. Both TV Guide Magazine and MTV’s Hollywood Crush has the scoop. Including a new episode title for what I belive will beEpisode 19. Check it out from Hollywood Crush!

Oh, Twitter, what did we used to do in the days before you existed in our lives? Thanks to a Hollywood Crush informant, we came across a juicy tweet from “Big Time Rush” star Spencer Locke today (it was posted March 1) that read: “packing for Atlanta, GA! so excited to be working on Vampire Diaries :) not so prepared for the freezing COLD!what to bring..what to bring..”Spencer has plenty on her plate these days — she recently appeared on “Cougar Town” and will be seen in the upcoming sci-fi horror flick “Resident Evil: Afterlife” — so we just knew whatever was bringing her to Mystic Falls had to be pretty worth it. Here’s what we know so far: A rep for the CW series confirmed to us that Spencer will be featured in an upcoming episode titled “Miss Mystic Falls” and her character’s name is Amber.

From our quick “Vampire Diaries” research, we can’t seem to find a trace of that name in the book series, which means she’s another genius creation from the minds of exec producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec. We have a feeling she may be working closely with Malese Jow, who plays feisty vampire Anna, as she tweeted a picture of her and Spencer yesterday along with this note: “Proceed extensive assemblage”! hottest new crew around! Taking over HOTlanta! http://twitpic.com/179×6f.”

Perhaps the episode title suggests they’ll also be a beauty pageant? If that’s the case, then may the best giril win!

Spencer Locke Cast in The Vampire Diaries
Posted by Ruthie • No Comments »

Yesterday, I stumbled upon a tweet from Spencer Locke that she was heading to Atlanta to be on The Vampire Diaries. And then Malese Jow tweeted this. I’ve searched high and low for any casting news and I haven’t found it yet. Maybe someone can shed some light for me? I might just tweet her and ask her myself. Here’s her IMDB profile and a short bio from TV.com.

At a young age, Spencer Locke already seems to have a bright future. She went to Hollywood with a manager at age 11 and landed her first gig as a guest star on Without a Trace in 2004. Although she is a sweet and cheerful person, she has been known to play sassy popular girls such as Bitsy on Ned’s Defied School Survival Guide and Candita on Phil of the Future. She is probably best known as the former girlfriend of the loveable Jacob Smith. One of her best known roles is that of K-Mart in the film Resident Evil: Extinction. She currently lives in California where she is managed and supported by the Lane Management Talent Agency. Spencer has appeared in the Kidz Bop commercials and is breaking out as a talented young actress that deserves a second thought.

UPDATE: Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we have the following info on Spencer Locke, it appears her role on The Vampire Diaries will be guest starring.

Actress Spencer Locke has been cast in a guest spot on the CW’s “Vampire Diaries.”

Locke will play Amber Bradley, a girl who enters a beauty pageant along with Elena and Caroline.

Locke has appeared in the ABC series “Cougar Town,” the film “Resident Evil: Extinction” and the Nick series “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.”

Vampire Diaries Casting – David Anders Cast As Jonathan Gilbert
Posted by Ruthie • No Comments »

Great casting news via Ausiello! David Anders, who just so happened to have played one of my favorite characters from Heroes has been cast to play Jeremy and Elena’s Uncle Jonathan Gilbert.

24’s loss is The Vampire Diaries‘ gain!

David Anders, who (spoiler alert) permanently clocked out of 24 last night, has rebounded with a multi-episode arc on The CW smash, sources confirm to me exclusively.

The Alias and Heroes alum will play Elena and Jeremy’s uncle, Jonathan Gilbert, who comes to Mystic Falls to “cause some trouble,” teases an insider.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because, well, it should. Jonathan Gilbert is the name of Elena and Jeremy’s circa-1800 ancestor. Old school Jonathan debuted via flashback earlier this month as played by Joe Knezevich.

Look for Anders’ present-day Jonathan to turn up in April.

Stephen Martines is the next to join the cast of The Vampire Diaries!  The Hollywood Reporter has all the scoop!

Stephen Martines has landed a recurring role on the CW’s freshman drama “Vampire Diaries.”

He will play a bad-ass vampire named Frederick who is locked in the tomb where Katherine (Nina Dobrev) was once thought to be and is up to no good when released.

Following last night’s episode, which revealed that Katherine is not in the tomb, the vampire drama is going on a six-week hiatus, returning with originals on March 25.

Stephen Martines, a former soap star who started off on “General Hospital” and “The Guiding Light,” recently recurred on TNT’s crime drama “The Closer, ” where he played a news reporter who asked Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) some tough questions.

Martines is managed by Evolution.

Vampire Diaries Casting – Sterling Sulieman As “Harper”
Posted by Ruthie • No Comments »

Keck’s Exclusives is reporting that Sterling Sulieman has been cast to play a Union Civil War soldier just released from “the crypt”. Check it out!

Come February, Vampire Diaries will reveal that Katherine the Late (Nina Dobrev) isn’t the only entombed vampire someone is trying to release from the Mystic Falls crypt. The popular CW show’s executive producer Julie Plec tells me, “we have a union soldier down there named Harper who we’ll be seeing soon.”

Very soon. All My Children vet Sterling Sulieman will debut as Harper on February 11 and stick around for at least three more episodes. Sterling can also be seen as CTU Agent Tac on this season’s 24.

Sulieman shared his excitement about his new role with his Twitter followers, saying, “Not going to Atlanta till Monday! but I got fitted for my Vampire Eyes. Also got to try on the black ones from true blood. Creepy.”

I’m thinking Harper’s arrival may be especially good news for the bewitching Bonnie, who could use a break from casting spells.

Vampire Diaries Casting – Melinda Clarke Cast As Kelly Donovan
Posted by Ruthie • 1 Comment »

This just in from EW. Ausiello is reporting that Melinda Clarke has been cast to play Kelly Donovan, Matt and Vicki Donovan’s mom!  Here’s the scoop!

Julie Cooper’s comin’ to Mystic Falls!Sources confirm to me exclusively that Vampire Diaries has tapped the inimitable Melinda Clarke (The O.C., CSI) to play Kelly Donovan, Matt’s irresponsible, hard-drinking absentee mother.

How rotten is this woman? She didn’t even bother to show up to her own daughter’s funeral. (In other words, my kind of gal!)

I’m told Clark’s scenery-chewing boozehound will blow into town in March and stick around for at least three episodes.

Memo to Kevin Williamson: Let’s get that series regular paperwork started now!

Vampire Diaries Spoilers – More Scoop On Mia Kirshner’s Role Via WWK
Posted by Ruthie • 9 Comments »

Well, well, well.  Looks like Kristin from EOnline has some extra info about Mia Kirshner’s role on The Vampire Diaries.  She has recently been cast to play Alaric’s wife Isobel.  Check it out!

We’re about to find out on Vampire Diaries, because sources tell me there’s much more to the casting news that just broke about Mia Kirshner (24, The L Word) joining the cast for a recurring role.

While it’s true she’s playing Isobel, the wife of Matt Davis’ ridiculously named schoolteacher character Alaric, she might already not be of this world…

According to my sources, Kirshner will appear on the series beginning Jan. 21, but her scenes won’t be in present-day. They will be in flashbacks because her character Isobel is already dead.

And you’ll never guess who killed her. No really, go ahead, try! Though my sources have asked me not to spoil the big twist outright, suffice it to say that Isobel died at the hands of a main (hot) character we already know. (Did I mention hot?)

Read the rest of the article.
