As you all know, the Vampire Diaries Cast, Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Michael Trevino all flew out to Australia this past week to represent The Vampire Diaries at the Hub Productions Vampire Diaries Fan Event in Sydney and then in Melbourne. We covered the whole event via Twitter. And there are so many tweets and pics out there, too many to post! But I’ve been retweeting on Twitter what I find, so if you aren’t following us, you need to now at @tvdfansonline.

Here are a few pics courtesy of Portrait Magazine at the Sydney event. And speaking of them, you need to head on over to their site, they have a poll for Top 10 TV BFF, and you need to vote for Elena/Bonnie or Bonnie/Caroline. Also, they have a poll in their sidebar for who should be on their August cover, and Ian, Nina and Paul are all listed, so go vote for one of them! Ian is winning at the moment!

Well it’s about time! We’ve got some juicy scoop from TV Guide’s William Keck, check it! Ahem….Major Spoiler Alert

“I can’t talk much about it yet,” says executive producer Julie Plec, “but one of the big surprises is that Katherine comes face to face with Elena.”

How does Nina feel about playing both Elena and her 19^th century doppelgänger in the same scenes? “I will have to ask for a second pay check,” kids the 21-year-old, who as a child marveled over Lindsay Lohan‘s dual performance in The Parent Trap. While special effects have advanced a thousandfold since Elizabeth Montgomery’s Samantha/Serena face-offs on Bewitched, Nina is still worried about emoting opposite a stand-in tennis ball when the series resumes production in July. “It will be difficult because a lot of acting is reacting to the other person, but it’ll be fun to step out of my comfort zone.”

Nina’s not the only one who’ll be given a tough acting assignment. Having the look-alike ladies in the same town will also force Ian Somerhalder to play two different sides of Damon. “It’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster for me,” Ian predicts. “Damon, with Katherine, is this youthful wide-eyed fun guy who is so intrigued by her — so different from the maniacal, more mature Damon you see with Elena.”
