Matt has taken the role of Xander, from Buffy, except Xander has brilliant observation watching from the outside. Matt should try to bang Katherine since he can't bang Elena Well, I guess he could, you never know with these writers.
I know, but he'll be gone soon. I HATE that they compelled him.
Atleast I still have Klaus.
It's sad. I want him to stay, but decisions like that make a series interesting. Decisions that aren't just for a short time and stay permanent and you don't expect. Otherwise you would always be sure none of the main characters would die if they didn't make things like that.
How does one celebrate their 23rd birthday? If you’re Nina Dobrev, you start with a massive Twitter party! Nina’s fans rallied together Jan. 9 at midnight to get #HappyBirthdayNina trending — and as always, they succeeded. Not only did Nina take notice of her fans’ tenacity, but her Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder offered up his own congratulations, as well.
“#HappyBirthdayNina is trending right now” Ian tweeted. “Happy Birthday Nina!!!!!! 35,wow you look great!”
To which Nina replied, “Wow, it is!! So cool, thanks guys!”
Earlier that night, The gorgeous Bulgarian actress had a special message for her more-than 1.5 million followers:
Taking a moment to reflect and appreciate what a great year it has been.. To be thankful I that even survived to another birthday. So many things, places and people I’ve met who have touched and changed my life this year… Looking forward to all those I will encounter tomorrow. So, this is my Good night to you all!! I have to get to bed early because i have to be up at 5a for work! Namaste!”
She always looks much more hotter & fierce when she plays Katherine
Can't wait for next episode,I need to see queen Rebekah and Elijah back on the show!
And bye bye to Jeremy,i was kinda hoping they would kill him so he could be together with Anna again

Stefan’s Dark Arc: Paul Wesley Talks Season 3 With Entertainment Weekly:
This season of The Vampire Diaries has had everyone talking about Stefan: the good, the bad, the OMGSCARY. Whether you love Stefan’s wild ways or miss the days of dates and flowers, it’s no secret that Paul Wesley has really enjoyed playing the bad boy side of his Salvatore.
Paul spoke with Entertainment Weekly recently, and from the sound of this this (slightly spoilery) interview, he’s not hoping for redemption anytime soon.
Quote:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It’s an interesting turn in Stefan’s arc that it’s after his humanity begins to creep back in and he saves Damon that he becomes more of a villain than he ever was when the switch was fully in the ‘off’ position.
PAUL WESLEY: He reveals that if he lets any emotions or feelings in, all he feels is deep pain and regret, so he doesn’t want to go there. He’d prefer to just sort of rationalize it by being… incredibly hostile. [Laughs]
Are we going to cry watching this episode?
Who’s we? [Laughs] It depends on how susceptible you are to the Stefan-Elena love story/tragedy.
Well, I talked to Plec about scenes on the show that have made her cry, and you got us both with that call Stefan made to Elena on her 18th birthday — and you didn’t even speak.
Ah, that’s cool. I think any time anybody sees the bad guy show emotion and you’re not hitting the audience over the head, there’s always a tinge of empathy for that individual. So if we did it correctly, and Stefan shows his humanity in the most subtle ways, and we don’t hit the audience over the head with ‘Oh, feel bad for me, I’m a tortured soul,’ then I think it will be effective. But again, I haven’t seen it. But supposedly it’s great. [Laughs]
I was surprised that Stefan agreed to let Damon join forces with him so quickly in last week’s episode. What’s your theory there: Did he realize he needs minions like Klaus has, or was it simply better to give Damon something to do so Damon doesn’t do something on his own that jeopardizes Stefan’s plan?
It is interesting: In that scene, all of the sudden he’s like, “You want in? Okay, I’ll let you in on this.” Maybe it’s because he wants to be closer to Elena. Maybe it’s because [this is the one time] you keep your friends closer than your enemies. It’s his brother. They’re buddies. You can justify it so many different ways. I really have no idea.
Early in season 2, you sat down with Plec and said that while you love Stefan’s heroic side, as an actor, you’d love to dirty him up a bit. She told you she and Kevin Williamson already had that in the works. Has this arc turned out to be everything you hoped for?
Yeah, I don’t want the arc to end. I don’t want to go back to being the good guy. Look, Julie said we’re gonna milk it as long as we can. I also understand that things get old. Hopefully this is still new and fresh. You know, he was the good guy for two years. Maybe I can do another two years as the bad guy to balance it out. [Laughs] I think everybody likes playing the bad boy.
And everybody likes watching the bad boy.
I was talking to Torrey [DeVitto, his wife, who's now recurring on the show as Dr. Fell], and she’s like, “You know, I watch Vampire Diaries all the time. I’ve always enjoyed watching Stefan. But now that you’re playing him as the bad guy, it’s, like, infinitely more entertaining and pleasurable to watch.” [Laughs] I’m thinkin’ to myself, it’s so funny, you’d think the girls would enjoy the good guy, the hero, the protagonist. But it’s like, no, that’s why nice guys finish last. [Laughs] It’s really true. And as an actor, it’s just so much more enjoyable.
With Stefan, it’s really the best of both worlds: He’s a bad boy, but we don’t have to feel guilty for enjoying him because we refuse to believe Good Stefan isn’t under there somewhere.
I refuse to believe that he’s not under there either.
Breaking Report: Ian Somerhalder Proposes To Nina Dobrev And She Says No
Quote:
The time has come Vampire Diaries fanatics. The outrageously beautiful and low key couple that is Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev were recently moments away from taking a leap in their relationship but ultimately left with an outcome far more catastrophic. In Touch is reporting that Ian, 33, proposed to Nina, 23, over the holidays and she said NO! The couple have been secretly dating for the past year, but have kept it quiet from the press and fans because they don't want their relationship to affect the show.
Clearly this should have been the easiest decision she'd ever have to make in her life but in a baffling move she turned him down. Why? Is he not rugged enough? Is he not perfect enough? Apparently, she ultimately declined the offer (that so many diehard fans would say yes to in a second) because of her young age.
Really? Yes.
An insider says, "She is freaking out, saying, 'I don't want to marry him!' She thinks she's too young, and with all the offers she's getting, she's poised to be a big star. They were having fun, and now there's a lot of tension." This much is true. She really is young and she probably thinks that her career will just continue to get bigger. But she's still filming the CW series with him and the high ratings clearly show that it's not stopping anytime soon. Weren't their feelings strong enough whereas she would have said yes? Ian is absolutely infactuated with the Bulgarian beauty, and he's ready to take their relationship to the next level, but the feelings aren't mutual for Nina. The problem is Ian is ready to settle down, but she isn't. Her career is her main focus! Now, sadly, she feels like the relationship is ruined. “They were having fun, and now there’s a lot of tension on set between them.”

I don't believe this whatsoever. Seems fabricated.
Well, I guess he could, you never know with these writers.
I know, but he'll be gone soon. I HATE that they compelled him.
” Ian tweeted. “Happy Birthday Nina!!!!!! 35,wow you look great!”
Good Job!
However, I bet he wishes she was 35 years old, so the age difference wouldn't be such a huge gap.
