'Vampire Diaries' Season 3 Details

Though "The Vampire Diaries" writers are already hard at work on Season 3, the cast members don't have to report to the Atlanta set until early July. In the meantime, they're having plenty of adventures -- trips to London and glamorous nights out at Hollywood awards shows -- which mean that we're getting the occasional morsel of info about the show's highly anticipated return.
Of course, it's important to note that even the cast members are in the dark about major plot details of Season 3, so they've been spending their summer speculating just like we have! Here are the cast members' best guesses as to what will transpire when the show returns. (By the way, The CW won't confirm it, but it's looking like Sept 8 is the most likely return date -- so clear your schedules, kids.)
Tyler and Caroline are soooo Romeo and Juliet. We saw some tension brewing between Mayor Carol Lockwood and Sheriff Liz Forbes in the Season 2 finale, and word has it that the bad blood will lead to a full-on feud in Season 3... leaving Tyler and Caroline's burgeoning romance hanging in the balance! Candice Accola told HollywoodLife that Caroline "has a very comfortable chemistry with Tyler. She can just sit there and be a mess and be completely comfortable." We can't wait to see the relationship between these two develop. (Just make out already!)
What about Matt? It's no secret that we looooove Matt Donovan around these parts, so our fingers are crossed that our favorite busboy will get plenty of story in Season 3. We're hoping he and Caroline aren't done for good, but he's got other things on his mind at the moment. He's still grieving for his sister after learning new details about her death, so the fact that Jeremy can see Vicki (Kayla Ewell) now may help give Matt some closure. Ewell confirms to TVGuide that Vicki will deal with "unfinished business with my brother, my boyfriend, my ex boyfriend, with so many people. I'm coming back with a vengeance. It's going to get crazy."

Vampire Diaries' Candice Accola in Lyme Light

To demonstrate this season's radiant bright pieces, we knew the wearer needed to be someone who truly shined as bright on the inside. Vampire Diaries star Candice Accola couldn't have been more perfect for the job: beyond the contagious perma-smile she always has on, she's using her position to shine the lyme light on a disease that many aren't educated about. In support of Lyme Disease Awareness month, Accola designed a tribal tunic with proceeds going to Turn The Corner: a charity dedicated to research, education, and treatment of lyme disease. Accola became involved in the fight against lyme disease when a friend she grew up with learned she had lyme in its most chronic form. "I just felt the need to shine light on a very prevalent disease that nobody is talking about," Accola explains, "my friend is still bedridden and not physically capable to educate others on the dangers of simple tick bite, so I wanted to help give her a voice."
And we must say to that end, she's doing it in style. While she pulls off the mega-brights as though they're her daily uniform, Accola tells us her wardrobe revolves around two staples: flowy vintage dresses and seasonal hats. "If a hippy flower child and a 50s housewife had a baby, my style would be that baby," Accola asserts. She is a devotee to price-right shops like Zara, H&M, and Urban Outfitters, declaring herself a junkie of the latter. And the most valuable lesson in style we learned from Accola at the shoot is where she finds inspiration: "I've learned that when I try to emulate someone else's style I always end up uncomfortable. My style inspiration starts from the inside out. I wear what makes me feel comfortable, sexy and free." In today's spread, we think Accola proves her own theory and then some.

'Vampire Diaries': A First Episode 'Game Changer' Brings Bonnie And Caroline To Forefront Of Season 2

If finding out Jeremy's fate (vampire or not?!) on "The Vampire Diaries" season premiere didn't sound exciting enough, just wait until you see the new twist executive producer Kevin Williamson teased to Hollywood Crush at Comic-Con two weeks ago. Apparently, there's going to be plenty of action — and all of the characters will be around to watch it take place.
"Something happens in the first episode that’s sort of a game changer," Kevin said. "Everyone here was sworn to secrecy because it involves everyone. It’s going to help launch us into the second season in a fresh way and it will be fun."
And, thankfully, the game-changing event will also include our favorite female sidekicks, Katerina Graham and Candice Accola. If you thought the fact that both Kat and Candice were conspicuously absent from the "VD" panel at Comic-Con was fishy, fear not: their absence from San Diego was due to work scheduling, not casting cuts (we think...nothing's for certain on "VD" after all). Kevin told MTV News at the time, “Well, someone [referring to Candice] had to work today — well, Friday and tomorrow — when everyone was traveling!”
Actually, Kevin said he's excited to give the show's sideline characters a lot more camera time in season 2. "What’s nice about this is that Matt, Caroline, Tyler, and Bonnie were all sort of our secondary characters — they are not part of the triangle. Now, all the storylines I wanted to tell last year and didn’t have time, I can tell them. I’m grateful I can tell the stories I’ve been sitting on. It will involve Caroline and Bonnie and Matt and Tyler, and a new triangle will be born."
A new triangle, eh?
While Kevin didn't elaborate too much, he did confirm that the show is casting both the new character Vanessa (whom Damon and Alaric will meet while researching vampire mythology at Duke University), and another young lady. "At the moment, we’re also casting a love interest for a girl in between a friendship." Our theory: that girl will get in between Matt (Zach Roerig) and Tyler (Michael Trevino).
As far as specific plot information involving the supporting cast, Kevin shared an interesting tidbit about that little witch, Bonnie regarding that promise she made in the season 1 finale — to go after Damon if he kills another innocent person. "Bonnie had a wonderful season, and she’s going to hold true to her promise," Kevin said. "I think she says it in the first episode [of season 2]: she meant what she said, and she meant business. So she takes a point of view, and she doesn’t let up on it."
