Here’s a little Dalaric scoop from WWK’s Spoiler Chat:

Britney in Dallas, Texas: I’m so over Stelena and Delena on The Vampire Diaries. Please tell me we will see more Dalaric!

You can rest easy because we will be seeing plenty of Damon and Alaric teaming up in season two. We asked the show’s very own Buffy (spin-off idea: Alaric The Vampire Slayer!) Matt Davis, about the unlikely duo’s partnership and here’s what he told us: “Our bromance is definitely developing. You’ll see much more of that for sure. I love Ian to pieces and I love working with him and I think our chemistry as friends and the way Kevin and Julie write the two of them together, just the archetypes of the two characters together I think fit really well.” If that wasn’t cute enough for you, Matt recently tweeted a picture of the duo’s nifty supernatural rings with the caption, “Wonder Twin power unite in shape of a bromance!!!” Um, I die.

Over the past couple of weeks, the CW has been posting cast interviews as a part of their “The Truth Behind” Series. They now have up 4 videos, The Truth Behind Elena, Stefan, Damon and now Bonnie. You can watch the videos over at the CW web site, and the international fans can view the YouTube versions here courtesy of YouTuber, trojanas. Not that great of quality, but better than nothing. And we will post more as they are made available!

The Truth Behind Elena:

Well…we are finally here. It’s time to vote again Vampire Diaries fans and Damon lovers! This time the final showdown for EW’s Ultimate Sexiest Beast: Damon vs. Edward. It’s going to be quite a fight, but we can do it!

Here is an absolutely hilarious interview from EW’s Mandi Bierly with Vampire Diaries Executive Producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson. They were discussing the fact that Ian Somerhalder’s “Damon Salvatore” is beating out “Eric Northman” in EW’s Sexiest Beast Bracket Game. Damon has made it to the quarter-finals, and voting is set to close at Midnight EST. So if you haven’t voted do it now! Once you have that taken care of, you need to read this interview. Here’s an excerpt below and read the rest over at EW! Trust me, it will have you rolling, and not to mention they give us a HUGE teaser about Nina Dobrev/Katherine for the season 2 premiere!

Entertainment Weekly: Damon is beating the pants off of Eric in our Sexy Beasts Bracket Game.

Julie Plec: [Gasps] Oh, we have made it!

Kevin Williamson: What?

Plec: [Explains Sexy Beasts Bracket Game to Williamson, she voted last round] Ian is beating Eric. I love it. By the way, Eric — hot.

Williamson: Eric who? From True Blood? Ohmygod. I’m sorry, I’m voting for Eric. I love Ian, but I see him everyday. [Laughs] I don’t see Eric. I can vote for Eric, right?

Plec: That’s been one of the greatest things is watching the audiences, and the critics, and fans, and even our executives go super-excitable about Damon Salvatore and how he has become a villain that they love, and hate, and worship, and want to sleep with, and want to flirt with, and watching the character pop.

Williamson: You know, I’d pick Ian. Stepping aside, just as a viewer, I’d pick Ian. And even knowing what I know about Ian, I’d double-pick Ian, because Ian’s got the goods. The man has got it goin’ on. For me, he just sort of feels perfect. He has that wonderful definition. He’s athletic and naturally fit…

PLEASE read the rest of the interview! LOL
