David Anders talks Uncle John with TV Fanatic and what the second season of The Vampire Diaries has in store for the residents of Mystic Falls.

What can we look forward to this season?
There’s the big werewolf storyline cooking up. As far as I’m concerned, Elena walks in after Katherine slices my fingers off and stabs me and she’s got a big decision to make. There’s a lot of Katherine and Elena. Nina’s got a lot of work.

Why did John kill Anna?
The fact that she’s a vampire. He saw that she might have dragged my nephew into vampiredom. I don’t think John approved of that. John is Jeremy’s only male figure in his life, so he treats it like a father/son relationship. It was a hard decision for the producers to make, to let her character go.

Will Uncle John and Elena find a way to get along?
It’s extremely difficult for Elena to see any good in me. I’m not well liked around Mystic Falls [laughs].

Wow, check out another awesome DVD Exclusive from E!Online. This one is about the process of casting The Vampire Diaries, includes sneak peeks of the actual cast auditions!

Here are two more sneak peeks from The Vampire Diaries Season 1 DVD, this time from E!Online and TV Guide. The first is about the “extra credit” portion of Vampires 101 feature and the second video is about why vampires are so sexy! Enjoy!

Thanks to Lauren for sending us this! Check out Kat Graham’s cover art and mp3 of Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted Snake”! It gives me great pleasure to be able to share this with you guys! Kat wrote the verses and bridge herself, but kept the same chorus and produced the song herself! Isn’t that awesome?? And word on the street is that Paula Abdul has heard the rendition and LOVES it!

Post Updated: Thanks to Kat for uploading this really cool lyric video!

Here are two new episode stills from “The Return”. This time featuring our handsome Lockwoods. Hmm…wonder what could be going down in that 2nd pic. Sound off in the comments! Many thanks again to Vampire Diaries Web for the stills.

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.

What are they doing to us?? Once again, Jules and Kev have cast another person we will probably fall madly in love with, that we are going to see come and go! It’s ok I guess, as long as they just keep them coming! Many thanks to @Shirarose1 for alerting us to this news! Simon Miller (CSI: Miami, Gossip Girl) has been cast in a flashback episode as “George Lockwood”. Here’s the news via PR Newswire:
