We would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Assignment X has an interview with Paul Wesley.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

ASSIGNMENT X: Were you looking forward to playing Stefan as an absolute badass this season?

WESLEY: No. I told [series producers] Julie [Plec] and Kevin [Williamson], “Look, I’d really love to do something,” and they said, “Great,” and they agreed. We don’t want anything to be redundant – we want to keep it fresh for the viewers.

Synopsis via Vampire Site:

PERSIA WHITE GUEST STARS AS BONNIE’S MOTHER —
Bonnie (Kat Graham) believes her recurring dreams about Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) coffins will tell her how he can be killed. The dreams also lead Bonnie to a reunion with her mother, Abby (guest star Persia White, “Girlfriends”), whom Bonnie hasn’t seen for 15 years. At Abby’s remote farmhouse, Bonnie and Elena (Nina Dobrev) meet Jamie (guest star Robert Ri’chard, “One on One”), the young man Abby took in years earlier. Bonnie’s sudden appearance catches Abby off-guard, but she does her best to explain the past. Tyler (Michael Trevino) turns to an unexpected ally in his quest to regain his free will. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is intrigued by Alaric’s (Matt Davis) new friend, Dr. Fell (guest star Torrey Devitto), and Klaus continues his bitter negotiations with Stefan (Paul Wesley) over control of the coffins containing his family members.

KSite TV got to preview the next episode of The Vampire Diaries, The New Deal, returning on January 5th.

They have 10 teases for us.
Check them all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

1. Bonnie! The first person we see in the episode is Kat Graham as Bonnie. She was absent for a good portion of the first half of the season so it’s nice to see her again. It’s also nice to see her back in her spot as one of Elena’s closest friends and confidantes. Unfortunately, after the first few minutes she’s not in the episode all that much, but it’s a good start.

Head on over to TV Overmind to see what they have to say about the episode.

Below is an excerpt:

Jeremy’s Gone Rogue:
Jeremy’s gotten a little unstable since he was forced to give up Anna and his relationship with Bonnie ended. Alaric is concerned because he’s been cheating in school and both he and Elena are surprised when they learn he was fired from the Grill. He’s been spending his down-time hanging out with Tyler, which his family isn’t too pleased about. But Jeremy hasn’t lost all his reason and quickly catches on to what’s happening in Mystic Falls. This new, more proactive Jeremy is even armed with a cross-bow and a really big knife.

TV Fanatic has an interview with Torrey DeVitto.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

“She meets Alaric and is fascinated by his ability to recover from medical incidents so quickly,” DeVitto said. “And that professional fascination turns into a romantic fascination.”

“For the sake of his character alone, I hope so,” she laughed. “Hopefully I don’t burn up in flames or try to kill him or anything. He deserves a better ending than he’s had.”

We just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.
