TV Guide has a portion of their article from next week’s issue up on their site. They spent some time on set a few weeks back, and have tons to share. It’s very spoilery to those that might have not seen previous spoilers, so beware. Also, check out this brand new promo shot from the “Masquerade” episode.

The masquerade ball is a handy metaphor for “the masks we wear in life,” says Williamson, who flew in from Los Angeles to watch over the night’s filming. “Katherine always plays games, she’s always wearing masks. And at the party, when she’s alone with both Stefan and Damon for the first time since she’s come back to town, Katherine rips the masks off their faces.”

Thanks to Leslie for the heads up! Wetpaint has more of their interview up with Julie Plec. They discuss what Damon’s reaction is to finding out about Mason and Katherine. And what is Bonnie going to do when asked to help? Maybe my screencap I captured from the recent promo tells us…

Now that we know Katherine and Mason are in cahoots, Plec says we’ll also start to get answers about Mason: why he’s working with Lady Piece, what he wants from her, and vice versa. Apparently, it’s not at all what we think. On the same tip, Plec says, “Damon’s reaction to learning that Katherine and Mason are together is also surprising. How he handles it. What he does about it.”

Speaking of the sexy Salvatores, Damon and his lil bro Stefan will also have to figure out how to counter Katherine’s latest attack — and they’ll turn, once again, to our favorite witch Bonnie for help. “We get to see Bonnie starting to come around in a way that she hasn’t come around this season to the vampires,” says Plec.

Thanks to Melissa of @TrueBloodDotNet for alerting me to her videos she posted on NiceGirlsTV. It is video from the press room of The Vampire Diaries cast and producers at New York Comic Con 2010. Lots of good spoilery stuff in these. Kind of goes along with the other videos I just posted from BuzzFocus, and the slip that was made. And that’s all I’m sayin’…

And I apologize, if you guys have already seen these, but this was the first I’d seen of them. They should have a video with Sara Canning and Kat Graham later today, I’ll update this post when they post it. UPDATED: Sara Canning and Kat Graham Video.

We’ve got a little more scoopage to share from Fancast and TV Guide. They’re talking Damon nookie, Jeremy lovin’, a Bonnie groupie and why Katherine shouldn’t buy any green bananas? Check it!

Via The Big Tease:

You offered to elaborate on your NY Comic-Con tweets about ‘The Vampire Diaries.’ Any ideas on who Damon will bed, and who Jeremy’s love interest will be? – Tammy

After ‘TVD’ EP Kevin Williamson told me that Damon will get some nookie, I asked if it will be with someone currently on the canvas. Alas, I couldn’t tell if Kevin’s headshake meant “It is not someone we know” or “No, I will not tell you” – so I’ve got bupkus there. As for Jeremy’s love life, “You can expect a dabble with a capital D,” teased EP Julie Plec. “And possibly with somebody we already know.”

What did you mean when you Tweeted that ‘Vampire Diaries‘ Katherine shouldn’t buy any green bananas? Tell us more! – PaulaEdgar via Twitter

What I meant is that the preview reel played at Comic-Con showed Damon & Co. fortifying themselves with all manner of stakes, bows and spiked knuckles, in the name of taking down the nasty dame. Julie Plec, though, had this to tell me about their mission: “Anybody who thinks they’ve got a bead on Katherine is going to be sorely mistaken. I will say that in what they do, they learn just how diabolical she really is and the lengths she’s willing to go to. And yet when all is said and done, there’s a slight element of victory.”

Via Mega Buzz:

Doesn’t it seem like everyone knows everyone’s secrets on The Vampire Diaries? I wish there were more “innocents” in the cast now. — William

MICKEY: Well, I’ve got bad news, William. There’s going to be a new guy in Mystic Falls soon, and to paraphrase the bard Spears, he’s not that innocent. He’s a huge fan of the dark arts — and specifically, he knows an awful lot about the Bennett family. Put another way, Bonnie is getting a groupie, and she’s not happy about it at all!

This scoop has been making the rounds on the internet. Mostly likely coming from casting sides. But now that Kristin of E!Online has confirmed the scoop, here ya go! Click “Show” to view.

Thanks to Jarett from New York Post’s PopWrap for getting this amazing spoiler scoop (a flashback from 1492 Bulgaria) from The Vampire Diaries New York Comic Con panel and press room yesterday! Enjoy an excerpt below and head on over to PopWrap for the rest!

And thanks to Vampire Diaries Web for the above photo, they have tons more in their gallery on their site, go see!

Although we’ve heard about Katherine since nearly the beginning of the show, her exact backstory is still a giant mystery. But not for long. “[The ninth episode is] an origin tale – we go back in time and show how Katherine became who she is,” Kevin reveals. “We answer a lot of questions, we get into the Petrova line of it all. We flashback to 1492 Bulgaria, London, Romania. We show how she started and why she was necessary to the story of the vampires.”

But that won’t be the only time traveling season two serves up. “We have four [flashbacks] planned,” Kevin adds. And by Thanksgiving, fans will know exactly why Katherine returned to Mystic Falls thanks to a shocking moment akin to Damon’s tomb reveal in season one. “That all explodes over the next four episodes,” Julie teases.
