It seems a new vampire is joining the brood over at the CW in the very near future. Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files is reporting that Mia Kirshner has joined the cast of The Vampire Diaries. Kirshner will appear in the recurring role of Isobel, the wife of history teacher Alaric (Matt Davis).

Mia Kirshner and Two Others Join The Vampire Diaries

Not sure how we missed this story the other day -- I blame holiday festivities and distractions -- but in any event, it looks like The Vampire Diaries has added another recurring character: Mia Kirshner will portray Isobel, the sweet-yet-dangerous wife of substitute history teacher Alaric Saltzman (Matt Davis).
The news came down via EW's Ausiello Files Blog, which reports the actress will make her debut in the Jan. 21 episode, which, come to think of it, has already been shot. How will Vd boss Kevin Williamson pull that one off? “Ever hear of an 11th hour reshoot?” sniffs an insider. “That’s what they’re doing.”
Kirshner is no stranger to our genre, particularly as it relates to vampires, having recently been signed to Ben Ketai's 30 Days of Night: Dark Days and previously appearing in Dracula: The Series back in 1990/91.
In addition, according to TV Fanatic, two other new »

21 December 2009 2:39 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Nick Jonas stood up for his brother Kevin at Kevin's wedding over the weekend, and in a couple of weeks he'll be standing in for a slightly older pop-culture icon: Regis Philbin.

Philbin is on leave from the show while he recovers from hip surgery.

21 December 2009 12:07 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

The Vampire Diaries 1.10 "The Turning Point" Recap
21 November 2009 2:10 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Ssssnnnnnnnooooooooorrrrrrrrttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!
Man, that was some good product Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson dealt us last night with The Vampire Diaries, I tell ya. But I will be on serious withdrawal till next year!!!!!! What is a Tvd addict to do?
But first let's recap the cliffhanger episode that gave us a sneak peek of what the rest of the season has to offer. Including a werewolf!!!!!
The Set Up
So we picked up a breath from where we left off last week with a newly vamped Logan trying to enter the Gilbert residence through Jenna, who is not budging. Logan tries harder to work his charm on the lovelorn Jenna, but he screws up by getting to cocky and finds the door slamming in his face. Not deterred, he snacks on the closet thing he could find: a female jogger. I'm still trying to figure out who jogs that late at night… »

Vampire Diaries Review: Crazy Creatures, Hot Sex and More!
19 November 2009 6:34 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
A new vampire in town. A likely werewolf revealed. And red hot sex between two main characters.
No wonder this episode was titled "The Turning Point," as The CW drama gave viewers plenty to think about until its return on January 14.
As you mourn the loss of entertaining Thursday nights over the next two months, let's go over the reasons why this was yet another outstanding installment of the best new show on television...
Brothers, united! When the show kicked off, there seemed to be nowhere to go with the Damon/Stefan relationship. The former sucked (literally!), while the latter wanted nothing to do with his brother. But we've seen a (somewhat) softer side to Damon over the last couple weeks; and tonight we got to see the Salvatores team up and battle a common enemy.
They may never truly be on the same side, but a good show finds »

'The Vampire Diaries' recap: Damon's plan revealed
13 November 2009 5:42 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
I have a weakness for grieving men on TV — you experience the vulnerability without having to deal with the palpable pain. Hence me finding Damon Salvatore extremely attractive in this episode. Definitely his best hour to date, and he didn't even murder anyone (though, of course, he tried to). Rather than give a chronological play-by-play, let's examine it story line-by story line. Damon's diabolic plan: The show did a nice fake out making us think since the pilot that Damon just wanted to make Stefan's life miserable. After Elena told Stefan that Damon was terrorizing Bonnie so she'd give back the crystal, »

9 November 2009 1:48 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
It's only Monday, but already our thoughts are turning to Thursday night, and The CW is happy to help us get ready for the latest installments of our guiltiest pleasures: Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries.
First up, is Supernatural's Episode 9, entitled "The Real Ghostbusters" (if there's a series with better ep titles, I sure don't know what it is!):
Super fan Becky (guest star Emily Perkins) uses Chuck's (guest star Chuck Benedict) phone to trick Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) into attending a Supernatural fan convention, complete with fans dressed up as Sam and Dean. One of the activities is a live action role-playing game, but things quickly turn sour after a real ghost appears on the scene. Jim Conway directed the episode with teleplay by Eric Kripke and story by Nancy Weiner.
