Absolutely. Instead of a triangle there’s a love rectangle going on right now, and I think with Vicki, wherever she goes she stirs up trouble. I don’t even think she means to, she just does. I think Vicki and Jeremy really do love each other, and I think Jeremy really loves Bonnie too, so there’s bound to be some drama stirred up. There’s room in there for some major catfights, because if you throw in two vampires and a witch there’s bound to be trouble.

So am I, thank you! We tried really hard to keep it a secret. I read the article in The Post with Kevin Williamson and they had all of these things that they would say if we were spotted in Atlanta. They really had all things planning out. For me, my brother and sister are in college and are big Twitter and Facebook people. I was very nervous that they would say something, so I didn’t even tell them until right before. I didn’t want anyone to find out. It really makes it more exciting when it’s a surprise. As quickly as I left is as quick as I came back, you never know what will happen!

I’ve done so many roles and characters throughout my career, but Vicki’s role has been the one that I’ve really had a special place for in my heart. The show, the people, the role…so just to be able to come back for one episode and do it again and have something so shocking and the episode end on me was such a wonderful thing. I also got to meet Malese [Jow], who I never got to meet before, and I thought so highly of her. It was nice to go back and know who each other was.
