Starry Constellation Magazine has an interview with Melinda Clarke.

She looks amazing in that pic!!!

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

Q. As you mentioned you recently appeared on “The Vampire Diaries” as Kelly Donovan, what made you want to be a part of it and how were you approached to be on it?

A. I have to be honest, a part came up that I had been submitted for and I spoke with Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec on the phone actually, and they decided that that part was too small and they wanted to save me for a different role. They discussed with me at length how they thought the character could go, and of course I was concerned about it being too similar to Julie Cooper, another mother stirring up trouble. Of course we could find similarities, but at the same time, to me they are very different. Ultimately after the end of the arc on “The Vampire Diaries” we still have only scratched the surface of Kelly Donovan, there wasn’t a lot of back story, we don’t know why she’s been gone or where she’s been. It’s been a little bit of a taste, a little bit of a tickle, for the audience probably to have this character blast through town and cause trouble for poor Matt. Hopefully there is room for the character to come back and only be Matt’s mom. We started just at one point but hopefully in other seasons we’ll figure out what really makes this woman tick and what her views are.

Thursday night is your last episode of “The Vampire Diaries”!

You never know when a character might die on this show, obviously, but I don’t think I’m giving too much away by saying that it’s a possibility. I saw a quote from [co-creator] Kevin Williamson recently where he said that I’d been established now as Matt’s mom and that they’d have me for as long as I want them. He’s cute. I’ll say this: There’s definitely a climax to Kelly Donovan’s arc in this episode. You may or may not see her the rest of the season, and I will always be open to the idea of being around for “The Vampire Diaries.”

The CW posted this new still from episode 15, A Few Good Men.
It’s another pic of Melinda Clarke who will be playing Matt and Vicki’s mom.

Only 2 more weeks till new episodes. AHHHHHH!!!!!

The EW has a little Vampire Diaries scoop on Damon and guest star Melinda Clarke.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt: (SPOILERS)

Executive producer Kevin Williamson tells me that Matt’s trashtastic mother, Kelly, will blow into Mystic Falls and waste no time digging her cougar claws into Ian Somerhalder’s Damon.

“If I didn’t have Kelly and Damon hook up there would be no God,” declares Williamson with a laugh. “What’s the point of doing TV if you’re not going to put those two characters together? That’s going to be a fun relationship to explore.”

Sounds scandalous!!!
Can’t Wait!!!

According to an article at EW Melinda Clarke is joining the cast of The Vampire Diaries. She will be playing Kelly Donovan, Matt and Vicki Donovan’s mother.

Here is some info on her character from the EW: (CAUTION SPOILERS)

Kelly Donovan, Matt’s irresponsible, hard-drinking absentee mother.

I’m told Clark’s scenery-chewing boozehound will blow into town in March and stick around for at least three episodes.
