Steven R. McQueen Talks About Jeremy's Death on Vampire Diaries (VIDEO)

The Vampire Diaries’ Poll: Klaus and Hayley’s Sex Scene — Hot or Not?

It wouldn’t be The Vampire Diaries without some intraspecies hookups every now and again.

Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) have never been fans of each other. After all, she’s in love with Tyler (Michael Trevino), and the Original wants that particular hybrid dead. Klaus has sworn to hunt Ty to the ends of the earth, hence why Caroline (Candice Accola) won’t give him the time of day.

But Klaus and Hayley went from trading snipes to stripping down in no time flat. In Season 4, Episode 16, “Bring It On,” she was critiquing his art, while he was over-serving her wine.

When he told her she was free to go, Hayley said she could be persuaded to stay. When Klaus asked which it would be, she replied, “You like to be in

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: What Happened to the Lovable Elena?

There was no redeeming quality in this Elena.

Bye Sire Bond

If one good thing came from this situation, it was the extinguishing of the sire bond between Damon and Elena. The problem though is that Damon used that bond to turn off her humanity and if he no longer can use it, will she ever find her humanity again?

It would be a shame for Elena to stay in this foreign state forever. With the cure still out there, perhaps that will be the only way to save the Elena that her friends and family loved. Perhaps over time, Elena will find her way back though.

Stefan was the ripper, until he wasn't any more. So, anything is possible. Next, we get to see Damon and Elena hit it up in New York City. A little fun, some action, and could we possibly see a reigniting of her love for him?

The Werewolf Quandary

Hayley was working with Katherine, but she's gone missing now. So, will Hayley work with Klaus? Their contrary relationships would make it an unlikely alliance, but at the same time they are willing to play each other.

If Hayley gets close to Klaus,

The Vampire Diaries Spoilers: Stefan and Rebekah?

The Vampire Diaries will always be known, first and foremost, not just for being about vampires and some werewolves, but also about who’s hooking up with who. Some have been predictable, like Elena and Damon. However, some have not been. This would include Candice Accola’s Caroline and Michael Trevino’s Tyler. Looking at them in the first season, the idea of them being together in The Vampire Diaries for anything besides a good fight scene, would have been ludicrous. A few years later, it does not seem so far-fetched.

Another such unconventional pairing was that of Clare Holt’s Rebekah and Paul Wesley’s Stefan. Their characters recently reignited the passion they once felt for each other over a century ago. This turned out to be a series highlight. One would think that we can expect many such love scenes from them in future installments.

However, the executive producer for The Vampire Diaries, Julie Plec, told Entertainment Weekly that that will not be the case.

“Well, as much as I know people love Stefan and Rebekah — and by all means so do we — her [recent] actions put a little bit of a hold on any future romantic dalliances between them,” says Julie.

This really is not much

Hayley and Klaus: How did we get here?

Hayley was thrown out of the house by her adoptive parents when she transformed into a werewolf for the first time and tore the living room apart. Ever since then she has been looking for her real parents. Can you imagine what that was like? She probably didn’t understand what was happening to her, and then the only family she had known tosses her out.

After being thrown out of her house, she joined other werewolves which eventually led her to Tyler, who had become a hybrid and sired to Klaus. Then she helped Tyler unsire all of Klaus’ hybrids so they could kill Klaus.

When she told Klaus the plan he was

TVD: The Originals BTS Photos and Photos With Fans!

As we reported early last week, The Vampire Diaries folks were in the process of filming the back-door pilot of the spin-off (epsiode 4.20, “The Originals”) for The Originals in New Orleans, Louisiana. We tweeted out the filming location, and apparently quite a few fans were able to set-stalk!

Check out these fan-taken pictures that show some of our favorite stars behind the scenes, and with some very lucky fans!

TVD: So There’s Delena, Stelena, Klaroline, Forwood . . . but was there a Dexi? {SPOILERS} 

Since we know these are from a 1970s flashback, they make you wonder, don’t they? (Especially when every time I type “Because the Night” I get the stupid 1980s song lyric “because the night belongs to lovers” – listen to the 10,000 Maniacs version here – stuck in my head.)

Well, Ian has a few teases for us about what we might be in for next week, as we learn what exactly spooked Damon enough to kill someone who was (if you believe an old, faded picture) friends with once upon a time:

ETonline: That episode also features the return of Lexi, a character Damon shares a very tumultuous history with. What’s it like this time around?
Somerhalder: What’s cool about it is that you see how long and turbulent their history is. There are just so many different agendas and egos at play, but at the end of the day, both Lexi and Damon love Stefan, so to see them interacting throughout an episode where they’re not trying to kill each other or making derogatory jokes to one another the entire time is amazing. There was a real relationship there, so it was fun to explore.

Sounds like it will be fun to watch, as well!! LOVE me some Lexi!!! (But you guys already knew that!)

ETonline: I’d also imagine that this new layer to their relationship makes the fact he killed her more significant.
Somerhalder: Totally. I think if you go back to that episode after seeing next week’s, the look of betrayal on her face, the shock of it all, is recontextualized. Which I think is a great way to elaborate or, at times, strengthen or fix a storyline that maybe didn’t work as well. It’s an added bonus to the structure of how our show works.

Yeah, that’s probably the one thing I haven’t quite forgiven Damon for just yet . . . although it did serve a purpose.

So what do you think? Did Lexi and Damon have a thing?

'The Vampire Diaries': Ian Somerhalder talks Elena's sire bond, Jeremy's death, and Rebekah

"The Vampire Diaries" returns with new episodes on Thursday, March 14 -- but while you endure the final stretch of the mini spring hiatus, we've got a little face-time with Ian Somerhalder to tide you over. Zap2it visited the set of the show and, as you can see from the video below, we shot our interviews in Elena's bedroom, which has burned down in the fictional Mystic Falls world! Luckily, we had Ian on hand to get some final moments with Damon in the iconic set.

Of course, we had to ask Ian about his true opinion on Elena's sire bond, which has caused a lot of controversy with "Vampire Diaries" fans over the course of the season. "Sire bond schmire bond," Ian jokes. "Damon can't get any true anything.

The Vampire Diaries: What's next for Jeremy Gilbert?

Will He Return To The Show?

Jeremy has died for real, paving the way for Elena to turn off her emotions without a reason to look back. That hasn't stopped fans from missing him — especially when things between he and Bonnie were just getting good.




Still haven't recovered from Jeremy Gilbert's death on The Vampire Diaries? You aren't alone.

With the death of little brother Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), a lot of Vampire Diaries' fans aren't sure where they're going to get their weekly fix of barely legal swoons. Not that the show is lacking in the eye candy department... But the little brother was just getting all grown up.

No word yet on what's next for The CW heartthrob.

Fans of the show know by now,

The Vampire Diaries Recap: Stefan vs. Damon, Round Seven: On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink

Hey, everyone. Did you guys have a nice vacation? Did you bake a lot of pies and go outside and stuff? Good, because The Vampire Diaries is back, and it means business. Last night’s episode was fun and actually a welcome reprieve from the emotional torment we’ve suffered over the last few months. Elena’s off switch turned her into a full-on mean girl, the sire bond may have been broken (whatever), and, most important, STEFAN SMILED.

To the debate!

It’s Stefan’s Party, and He’ll Dance If He Wants To
Remember how Stefan gets Caroline points?

The Vampire Diaries returns to its roots while Elena tries on a new personality. Here's Caroline's review of Bring It On...

4.16 Bring It On

So, switched-off Elena is awesome. When we last saw the Mystic Falls crew they were in a considerably bad way, with Elena so distraught over Jeremy’s death that Damon though it appropriate to turn off all her feelings. No longer caring what happened to her previous, human life, she burned down the Gilbert house with her brother’s body still inside, and now we’re left with a new, improved, and considerably more bad-ass version of our heroine.

Having your main character turn into a violent sociopath is a ballsy move, even for The Vampire Diaries, but now we can at least say that they fully committed to turning Elena into one of the undead. She may have been a vampire for sixteen weeks, but that was just the transitionary phase between whiny, indecisive Elena and the reckless party girl we saw here. It’s loads of fun, first and foremost, and leaves the show at a bit of a crossroads. The tone is considerably lighter, also – not surprising when the previous episode had most of us crumpled in the corner crying our eyes out.

The opening scene was particularly awesome, with Elena adopting Damon’s favourite party trick of lying in the road until someone tasty pulls up. It’s hilarious that this is her go-to move after being such a moral stick-in-the-mud for so long, and it’s really quite refreshing to see Nina Dobrev let loose with the character like this. Hats off to her, she’s now played three completely different personalities on the show, and I’m intrigued as to what would happen if this new Elena met up with Katherine. As the latter still has the cure they’re all after, the odds are we’ll get to see that meeting before season four is done.

In many ways, this episode went back to the show’s roots, which were admittedly of dubious quality. Early on, The Vampire Diaries wanted to be a supernatural high school drama à la Buffy, and now we have a whole hour of cheerleading practice, b*tch fights and keggers to enjoy. Remember when Elena and Caroline were rivals for popularity? Well, despite all they’ve gone through since then, that resentment is back, and Elena’s still winning. I’d think, after being the stronger, luckier one for three seasons, Caroline’s a bit miffed about Elena trying to take her spot back in the high school world. When was the last time she even went to class?

Having a character like this offers the show a chance to speak a few home truths to certain characters, and no one gets this more than Caroline. She’s still pining after Tyler, speaking to his voicemail and updating him on life in Mystic Falls, but the letter he sends her at the end of the episode suggests that the character is gone for good. Her face when she can’t get into the Lockwood house is really quite sad, and it’s revealed that Tyler has left the house to Matt. I was wondering where he was living, to be honest, and I guess now he can provide the meeting place for exposition sessions. This is actually a genius idea, as it keeps him involved.

Meanwhile, Klaus and a returning Hayley are doing their best to create reasons for their approaching back-door pilot, as they head to New Orleans after some steamy bedroom action. I can’t say there was anything especially compelling about their exchanges – unlike with Klaus and Caroline – and it makes me a little concerned about how their dynamic will work when they have their own canvas to paint on. I wasn’t expecting them to sleep together, either, as this removes any ‘will they, won’t they’ undertones that have made the Klaroline pairing so popular with fans.

But, before New Orleans, we’re going to have a New York episode, as Damon and Elena head off to the Big Apple for some much needed excitement. As predicted by some, the sire bond has now broken, and this looks like a good way for the writers to weasel out of their mistake once they decide to switch Elena’s feelings back on. She obeyed him before, she doesn’t now, and she won’t when she returns to normal – it doesn’t make any sense, but we’ll take whatever we can get. At least it injects some fun back into the couple, as this is the version of Elena that Damon has always secretly wanted. New York should be interesting.

ELENA'S GOT A HIDDEN AGENDA IN NEW YORK

With pink hair and a sassy new attitude, Elena is poised to fit right in in the Big Apple. But with a secret scheme and no inhibitions, she's planning on doing more than partying.

If we got anything from last week's episode of The Vampire Diaries, it's that Elena (Nina Dobrev) is a loose cannon now that she's turned off her emotions.

Putting her in New York City is just asking for trouble. But Damon's got this thing with reliving his partying days in the 1970s and thinks Elena could use some time away. Maybe not a good idea for the citizens of New York.

But perhaps it's a good idea for Damon (Ian Somerhalder). From the looks of the promo, he'll be getting some rooftop action.

Will Jeremy Gilbert return to the show, or is he dead for good? >>

Review: ‘The Vampire Diaries’: Runnin’ with the devil

It’s amazing what a three week hiatus can do to a girl. I’d momentarily buried all my Jeremy feelings in the box marked “Julie Plec is a Life Ruiner” for safe keeping. But tonight they came rushing back with the first new episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ since Elena burnt the Gilbert house (and supposedly Jeremy’s body*) to the ground.

And though the episode didn’t do much to advance the main plot – Silas and the cure (dibs on the new band name) – it did provide us with a window into the state of Elena’s psyche since she turned off all of her emotions at Damon’s behest. And I have to say, I think I kind of like this Elena. This take no prisoners version of Elena is, in short, the Elena we’ve always wanted her to be, albeit an extreme version.

If I had my way, Elena would be a balanced version of the whiny, compassionate Elena and the fierce, trying to kill her best friend Elena. And while

Nina Dobrev Says Her Mom Critiques Her Sex Scenes on Vampire Diaries

Are you this close with your mom? When Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) appeared on Conan O’Brien’s show on March 12, she explained that her mother will sometimes visit her on the set of The Vampire Diaries — and that can be uncomfortable when she’s shooting certain scenes.

“The awkwardness and the weirdness is when my mom comes to set and I have to film like a sex scene or something,” Nina explains. “But what’s even weirder is when I come off set, and she starts giving me notes.”

Conan found that creepy — but he definitely wanted specifics. “Arch your back more, it looks sexier if you arch your back,” Nina says, giving an example of her mother’s suggestions.

Of course, any time Nina’s mother visits sets, there’s a good chance her daughter will be doing a sexy scene. Between her dual roles of Elena and Katherine, Nina’s gotten to make out quite a bit.

“I’m pretty sure I’ve made out with every guy on the show — as my character, of course,” joked Nina.

Um, we can think of at least one guy we haven’t seen her kiss: Steven R. McQueen, who played Elena’s brother, Jeremy Gilbert. That’s one liplock we don’t want to see!

The Vampire Diaries’ Spin-Off The Originals Films in New Orleans

It’s Ramos Gin Fizz and gumbo time! The Vampire Diaries spin-off, The Originals, has begun filming; this week, the cast headed to New Orleans to give the show an authentic flare.

The episode won’t air until April 25, but the actors and crew have been tweeting their excitement. “New Orleans Bound with this babe @MissClaireHolt,” wrote Phoebe Tonkin of her bestie and castmate Claire Holt. The ladies will reprise their roles as Hayley and Rebekah, respectively, on the new supernatural show.

Newcomer Charles Michael Davis, who will play Klaus’s (Joseph Morgan) erstwhile protégé, Marcel, has also taken to Twitter to share photos of the city. Filming for the show began last week in Atlanta, and Joseph gave his new co-star a ringing endorsement, tweeting, “When 'The Originals' pilot hits TVs on April 25th you're all gonna go crazy and hit your follow buttons for this man @CharlesMD. Trust me ;).”

The pilot will take place in New Orleans — both present day and when the Originals first lived there a century ago. Daniel Gillies (Elijah) tells Entertainment Weekly, “It will be about both the contemporary [story] — where we are now and what we are up to — and also will flash back to show what the f**k happened to us to bring us to this moment.”

We can’t wait to see the vampire siblings — and their friends and enemies — take over the Big Easy.
