Malese Jow talks with MTV Hollywood Crush about the demise of her character Anna (I’m still crying inside I miss her so much!!!)
You can check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Anna was a lover. “Everything she did, she did out of love,” Malese said.
That’s why Malese thinks the inscription on Anna’s (fictional) tombstone should honor her many remarkable traits. “It would be along the lines of ‘A fighter until the end,’ ‘All for love,’ or something like that,” she said. “Anna had so many layers. Each episode, we would learn something totally new about her, or we would see a different personality.”
One of the best things about Anna was her ability to resonate with all types of people. “She became real,” Malese said. “As much as she was a vampire, people could relate to her.”
I miss ya Anna!!!

TV Chick has an interview with Mia Kirshner.

Here is an excerpt:
Presuming she does come back, which I hope she does, what do you want to see from Isobel going forward?
I think I’d like her to go head-to-head with Katherine one day. I think that would be fantastic. I would like to see the full scope of her power. I think ultimately she wants to be in charge. So, how she’s going to do that I’m not sure. But yeah, I think I’d to see more of that. And I’d like to see more elements of her past and then the present day. Like where she was and what her influences are and why she is the way she is. And I’d like to see — for me, what was really important, which you don’t see that much in this episode — but something that I want in the character is the humanity. I think that’s what makes her even more seductive.

The LA Times has an interview with Ian Somerhalder.
He talks Diaries and the oil spill in Louisiana.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
When the series returns for Season 2 in the fall, Somerhalder hopes Damon returns to some of his old ways. “I hope he gets back to biting people and having fun and getting high on blood all the time. He’s been so serious lately, forging these relationships, and I think it makes him wildly uncomfortable.”
It’s no secret that Damon’s damage is the result of the beautiful Katherine. “She wrecked him, man,” Somerhalder sighs. He considers the inevitable confrontation between Katherine and Damon. “I don’t know how that’s going to work, but I’m curious. Damon is used to being the strongest guy around. He has no fear. Katherine is stronger than him, she’s smarter. She out-foxed him.”
“Damon knows he got played. There was this naivete that he had as a 23-year-old boy in 1864, and somehow, he allowed that naivete to stow away with him through 150 years of living and traveling and understanding the world. Now, finally, he’s smart enough to understand the irony of that.”

iF Magazine has an interview with Julie Plec.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
iF: Are you on the books’ timetable as far as introducing other creatures besides vampires, or is the TV series on its own timetable?
PLEC: Well, [there was an] episode that kind of gave a hint about the Tyler Lockwood [Michael Trevino] character. Somebody said, “Why are you such a jerk, why are you the way you are?” and he says, “I don’t know,” and we pan up to the full moon. Anybody who’s read the books knows that his character in the books is a werewolf and one of the choices that we’ve made is, we are going to go down that road, we’re going to explore that, but before we write a word for it, we [will] have met with our visual effects team and our concept design team to make sure that we know exactly what it is we want to do, because we’ve come to learn on CURSED, the werewolf is the worst thing to design and make look good, especially on a TV budget, so we’re going to make sure we do it right. We’re going to think a little bit outside the box, we’re going to figure out how we can design it so that we can make the effects look good, what parts are going to be prosthetic, what parts are going to be makeup effects and what’s going to be CG, and only then when we feel good about it will we start talking about stories.
