Marguerite MacIntyre plays Caroline’s mom Sheriff Liz Forbes on The Vampire Diaries and now it seems she has a new gig.

She will be leaving Mystic Falls and heading to New Orleans as a writer on the show’s spinoff, The Originals. I’m hoping this still means she will be on The Vampire Diaries playing the sheriff. I know some of the characters are heading to college, but lets face it Mystic Falls is a breeding ground for evil. It still needs it’s sheriff!

Gratz to Marguerite on the new job!

Alloy Entertainment had a chance to chat with Charles Michael Davis at the CW’s 2013 upfront presentation in NYC to talk about The Originals including his character, Marcel.

Check it all out here.
Below is an excerpt:

Alloy Entertainment: What was your initial reaction to The Originals making it onto the CW’s Fall 2013 line-up?

Charles Michael Davis: I was pretty confident from the beginning that The Originals was going to be picked up because I watch The Vampire Diaries and think it’s just such an amazing show — but of course you can’t celebrate until you receive confirmation. But we were picked up to series the day right after the [backdoor] pilot aired so I was feeling great. To film a pilot and have it air and then you get a response so soon? I was overjoyed. I really was.

Julie Plec gave TV Guide some Elena and Katherine scoop for next season:

Will we see a lot of Elena and Katherine facing off on The Vampire Diaries next season? —Marie

NATALIE: Maybe not facing off, but perhaps switching off? “One thing we’re looking forward to so much next season is Elena on her own as a vampire and living her new life in college,” executive producer Julie Plec explains. “And to see a vulnerable Katherine, who is able to be hurt and able to be killed and in need of the protection much like the first Elena we met four years ago.” Oh, and get this — she says it’ll be fun.
