Lindsey R. Garrett Joins Cast

Lindsey R. Garrett is joining the cast as Samantha Gilbert.

Here is some info from TV Guide:

Samantha, in her 20s, is described as a bit of a gossip, but don’t expect her to cross paths with Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) anytime soon. She’ll appear only during flashbacks in the episode titled “1912,” airing at the end of February, as one of the town’s founding family members who interacts with both Salvatore brothers.

I love flashbacks!!
