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?)
