Pembroke Hill classmates Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain remain that rarity in the television business: a seasoned female writing duo never lacking for work.

And they keep such good company. They broke into prime-time TV when Kevin Williamson of “Dawson’s Creek” fame hired them. Next, “Buffy” and “Firefly” creator Joss Whedon put the duo on “Angel,” and then Shawn Ryan hired them at “The Shield.”

Fain and Craft (or is it Faincraft?) got to run a show on their own in 2007 but soon parted ways with ABC over “Women’s Murder Club.” What happened next may speak to their reputation more than anything: Whedon hired them back to help develop “Dollhouse.” Next, Ryan asked them to assist on “Lie to Me.”

Then this summer, as if completing the circle, Craft and Fain joined the writing staff of “The Vampire Diaries,” which Williamson developed with Julie Plec.

“The Vampire Diaries,” based on the young-adult novels published in the early 1990s by L.J. Smith, revolves around a beautiful high-school student named Elena who is courted by a new boy in town, Stefan, who in turn is stalked by his brother Damon. Needless to say, both boys are vampires.

In The CW’s hit drama The Vampire Diaries, Ian Somerhalder plays Damon Salvatore, the older and far more dangerous of the vampire brothers who share a long and bitter history that is closely connected to their hometown of Mystic Falls. In season 2 of the series, Michael Trevino’s character, the volatile Taylor Lockwood, will be giving bad-boy Damon a run for his money in the villain department, as his more primal werewolf side makes an appearance.

During an interview to promote the new season of their popular show, co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Michael Trevino hinted at what’s coming up for their characters and what fans can look forward to.

Question: Ian, what hints can you give about what’s coming up for Damon in season 2?

Hier is een interview met Candice Accola, volgens haar zullen de fans van TVD enthausiast zijn over seizoen 2.

Early in The Vampire Diaries, Caroline was the bitch. There’s no other way to put it. But as the rookie season progressed, something interesting happened with Caroline, who is played by Candice Accola.

Over time, Caroline became a three-dimensional, even sympathetic character. When she behaved in a bitchy way, viewers started to feel sorry for her, rather than despising her.

We have to assume the writers on The Vampire Diaries saw something in Accola that allowed this gradual transformation to occur.

“Well, thank you so much, first and foremost,” said Accola, who is back with all the main cast members for the second season of The Vampire Diaries, beginning Thursday, Sept. 9 on CW and A. “To start the story it had to be pretty simple, but as the season unfolded the layers came out.”

Actrice Maiara Walsh heeft een gastrol gescoort in het tweede seizoen van “The Vampire Diaries”. Ze zal als eerst te zien in de aflevering van 7 oktober als scholiere Sarah, die haar oog heeft laten vallen op Jeremy en samen met hem naar een feest van de familie Lockwood gaat. Maiara is vooral bekent geworden door haar rol als Ana Solis, de nicht van Carlos en Gaby in ¨Desperate Housewives¨.

Maiara Walsh, who played Gaby’s and Carlos’ bratty, over-sexed niece Ana on last season’s Desperate Housewives, is headed to Mystic Falls to cause more even trouble. In Vampire Diaries’ Oct. 7 episode, the 22-year-old actress will appear as Sarah, a high schooler who likes to party. Woo-hoo! Crack open the coffins and pour me some blood!

Vampire Diaries executive producer Kevin Williamson tells me, “Sarah is a girl who sets her eyes on Jeremy and encourages him to party it up at the Lockwood house.” (And by Lockwood house, we’re now talking Werewolf Central.)

Since Maiara now has a good chance of being killed off by both vampires and werewolves, I wish her the best of luck in Mystic Falls. She’s a sweet actress whose Housewives character just never took off. Last we saw of Ana Solis, she was headed off to New York City to pursue a modeling career just like her Aunt Gaby did back in her day. At least I think that’s what happened to her. I sort of tuned her character out after she got all caught up with those Bolen neighbors.

In een interview vertelt Sara Cannning over seizoen 2 en volgens haar is de gehele cast enthousiast over seizoen 2!

Sherwood Park’s got its very own blood sucker, and she’s getting stronger by the day.

Well, OK, she’s not a vampire, but Sara Canning, a Sherwood Park native, is about to start taping the second season of Vampire Diaries, which airs on the CTV in Canada and the CW Network in the United States.

Canning plays Jenna Sommers in the TV show, an aunt and caregiver of Elena and drug user Jeremy, who go and live with her after their parents died in a car accident.

But in a world filled with vampires, witches, and other potentially supernatural beings, alluded to throughout the first season, Canning believes that her character will continue to stay oblivious to the fact that she is surrounded by blood-thirsty creatures.

De cast van ´The Vampire Diaries´ is geland op #5 van Hollyscoop’s Top 10 Sexiest TV Casts

5. Vampire Diaries: Vampires are always sexy, and the CW has a proven track record of scooping up the hottest young actors in town to fill their casts. Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are two of the most exotic people we’ve ever seen on TV, and we love the fight between the brothers over one girl. Makes us realize…vampires are just like us!

Nina had het met TV Guide over haar dubbelrol in ‘The Vampire Diaries’, sinds ze aankomend seizoen zowel de rol van Elena als die van Katherine vertolkt.

Nina Dobrev is working twice as hard on CW’s Vampire Diaries, playing both Elena and Katherine this season. “I’m not sleeping because I’ve been shooting so much, if that’s any indication of how big the material is getting,” she says. “It’s getting darker and scarier, but at the same time, more fun for me. I’m also being tragic and running away from bad things.”
