The first ever holiday episode on The CW’s The Vampire Diaries was a bloodbath… literally.

While we knew one character would be dying on “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” we didn’t anticipate the carnage that would come.

But the holidays weren’t just full of death in Mystic Falls, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) also made a big decision about his relationship with Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Jeremy (Stephen R. McQueen) attempted to train away his urge to kill his sister. Not many characters on the show had themselves a Merry little Christmas.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen “O Come, All Ye Faithful.”

Jeremy’s cured. Well not really, but by using Bonnie (Kat Graham) as an emotional touchstone for persuasion, the newly anointed hunter, actually, can I just call him slayer?, is able to be around his sister without wanting to murder her. The episode was not without a close moment between Jeremy and his vampire sister though.

Damon releases Elena. Despite Elena’s insistence, Damon succumbed to his guilt over the sire bond and lying to his brother and told her to leave. It was sad but I’m not necessarily sure how to feel about it quite yet. It seems their “relationship” can’t be ending as it did with a kiss goodbye and a lame “suddently every part of my body is telling me to leave you” comment. I want more.

“That little werewolf slut has lot her mind.” Ok first of all, that may have been Caroline’s (Candice Accola) best line on this episode. Second, Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) and Shane’s (David Alpay) hidden agenda was nothing I anticipated. Apparently, they needed Klaus (Joseph Morgan) to sacrifice the twelve hybrids, but why? And what is this Cylus and the cure map deal? I need more back-story because I’m feeling confused. Though seriously, that scene where Klaus killed the hybrids — best part of the episode.  But I felt bad for Tyler. He was devastated when Hayley told him of her betrayal and then even more so when walking through the decimation of his pack. I can only imagine what he’ll do when he finds out that Klaus has killed his mom.

RIP Carol Lockwood.  You weren’t a great mayor but with your death, hopefully, comes some great storylines for Tyler. Poor kid can’t catch a break.

The Return of Rebekah (Claire Holt). While the original lady vampire wasn’t resurrected on this episode, April (Grace Phipps), who was rocking Jeremy’s vervain bracelet, found her casket and opened it to find the vamp daggered. With the preview for the next episode in January, we can assume that she helps put the original vamp back in action. I personally can’t wait to see the other originals as well. Paging Elijiah (Daniel Gilles), you’re wanted in Mystic Falls.

Buzz Moments:
OMG: I don’t care that Caroline didn’t die when Hayley snapped her neck…I literally covered my mouth with my hands.

Thank you, TV gods.: For Klaus’ artistic ability. How about those snowflakes, huh? Almost better than the horse he drew last season.

Awk-ward: Jeremy telling Elena she ruined their family, even if it wasn’t really how he feels, that hurts.

Hotness: Are those new hunter arms Jeremy?! Looks like the little Gilbert has got some increased strength and it comes with a nice set of biceps! Don’t mind me I’ll just be over here rewinding that scene on my DVR for a bit.

Fab-u-lous: As always there were lots of cute clothes in this episode, especially Caroline’s dress (anyone know where it’s from?) but I really loved Elena’s camel colored leather jacket. It’s available at Nordstrom.

Can. Not. Wait.: To get more information on Hayley and Shane’s plan and see the return of Rebekah and the other Originals.

Celebuzz (1-10): 7. While the episode was good, it was far from the best we’ve seen this season and the death, while sad, wasn’t all that shocking. I often have that ‘I need more feeling’ after a TVD midseason finale, and this episode has left me with an ‘I need to watch it again’ feeling.

The Vampire Diaries returns Jan. 17 at 8 PM on The CW.

What are your thoughts on the midseason finale? Sound off in the comments below!

Tyler’s (Michael Trevino) plan to take down Klaus (Joseph Morgan) with his pack of unsired hybrids is about to come to a head on Thursday’s first-ever holiday episode of The CW’s The Vampire Diaries and it appears that not everyone will make it out alive.

Candice Accola, who plays Tyler’s girlfriend and the object of Klaus’ infatuation, told Celebuzz that our nerves over the situation are justified: “I think there’s always reasons to be nervous when watching the show so I think that the viewers definitely have a lot to watch out for.”

Fans “already expect a certain amount of drama and craziness to happen so I think they’re already expecting a lot and the writers delivered.” And as always, she teased that you should definitely be ready for a cliffhanger on the midseason finale.

But how will this impact Tyler and Caroline? What does Accola think about ‘Klaroline’? Can we expect more BFF moments between the blonde vamp and Stefan (Paul Wesley)? We spoke with the actress to get all the answers you’ve been searching for.

Celebuzz: Caroline and Tyler haven’t had the happiest times in their relationship recently and now with them at odds on the plan to take down Klaus, what can you tell us about the tension they’re facing?

Candice Accola: This is kind of a very human thing for Caroline and Tyler to go through within their relationship. Their communication, just to be quite frank, sucks this week. It’s not been very good in the past weeks. I think what’s funny is that Caroline is just convinced that if Klaus can go away and Hayley [Phoebe Tonkin] can go away and all these plans can work out then magically Caroline and Tyler can be just be perfect together and live in this beautiful little Mystic Falls bubble.

Their disagreements are very human right now. They both are having perspectives on what they feel is right and neither one is really forgiving of agreeing with the other person so that is definitely a recipe for some miscommunication in this episode. There’s definitely conflict. Just because you love someone doesn’t mean that magically makes everything else go away so I think they are going to start realizing that, not just in this week’s episode but in episodes to come.

Celebuzz: Fans love everything about Klaroline, especially after that flirty adorable scene at Miss Mystic Falls. What is your take on their relationship? Is more flirting on the horizon?

CA: It’s just Caroline and Klaus being in conversation. She’s still not — By no means is Caroline like ‘Now I think he’s really cute and I really like this guy.’ There’s an ease to a conversation that’s also just really human. Tyler went to take care of himself and in doing that found a comfort and a friendship with Hayley. While Caroline was back in Mystic Falls, she was kind of using Klaus, or manipulating Klaus for the grand plan and in that came a different kind of comfortability in their conversation.

I think that that never went away and now that Caroline and Tyler [are] starting to be at odds against each other and their communication isn’t very strong we’re just going to see glimpses of Caroline searching for that communication with other people. I know that the viewers are going to read into them and by all means, have at it because I do really love those characters together and the dynamic that they have but I just don’t see the longevity in it and I don’t see any emotional truth to it. Sometimes if you’re going through some hard times, sometimes it’s just nice to have someone make you laugh when you haven’t had that with your partner in a while and I think that’s what Caroline is experiencing. I don’t think by any means does she like him. She just thinks that she’s laughing again for a second.

Celebuzz: We love the scenes we’ve seen between Caroline and Stefan this year. Their friendship has been a highlight of the season. How will it continue to develop throughout the course of the season?

CA: That’s something that’s very strong with Caroline and Stefan is their communication is just very on point. They’re very much on the same page. It’s nice. They trust each other’s judgments very easily. I love those scenes too because it’s just Caroline is so strong and comfortable and able to say things very clearly when she’s around Stefan. I love the dynamic of their talks.

They’re definitely on the same page with the plan that’s ensuing and I just love watching this friendship build. She is Team Stefan all the way. She knows that the root of him is a very selfless, good man and she wants that for her friend. She doesn’t want Elena [Nina Dobrev] to get hurt. That’s why she wants to just hit Elena over the head with a frying pan being like, ‘What are you doing? There is this great man that has done nothing but prove that he’s selfless and yea maybe he was the Ripper and maybe he messed up but he works on it. He wants to be better. Damon [Ian Somerhalder] never wants to be better. Damon’s always Damon.’ That’s very much the tone of what Caroline has been giving Elena.

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays at 8 PM on The CW.

Who do you think will die on the midseason finale? What are your thoughts on ‘Klaroline’? Let us know in the comments below!

While the young ladies of Mystic Falls donned their prettiest dresses for the Miss Mystic Falls pageant, and Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas made an appearance on Thursday’s episode of The CW’s The Vampire Diaries, there were some MAJOR developments for Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder).

But the newbie vamp’s relationship with the sexy Salvatore wasn’t the only one which saw some progression on Thursday’s episode.

Note: Major spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen Thursday’s episode, “My Brother’s Keeper.”

Sired for sex? OK, “Delena,” fans take a breath and soak it in, because this is the moment that you’ve been waiting on for four seasons… Elena and Damon slept together. The problem is Caroline (Candice Accola) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) have an inkling that these feelings that Elena has for the “sneaky” Salvatore are a result of her being sired to Damon. Could this be true? Of course, it’s totally possible but I’m going to stick with this being just a theory for now. Though it’s also a theory I can’t believe I never thought of.

“Friend-tervention.” While I am firmly on Team Switzerland when it comes to picking which Salvatore I want Elena to be with (seriously, can’t she just be with both?), Caroline is clearly the president of the Team Stefan fan club. In fact she tells her BFF that the thought of her with Damon “makes [her] want to barf.” As the president, Caroline and Stefan shared some adorable scenes together throughout the episode. Her explanation to Stefan about Elena:  “You and her, epic, her [and] Damon, uh god.” I am kind of obsessed with their friendship.

Klaroline. Damon and Elena’s relationship wasn’t the only one developing during Miss Mystic Falls. Though Caroline only agreed to attend the event with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) to keep up Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Hayley’s (Phoebe Tonkin) plan and fufill her promise to have a date, the pair shared some poignant moments within the hour. With him opening up to her about the only moment he ever wanted to be human and teasing her by reading her Miss Mystic Falls application aloud, I could totally see this actually happening. I say, let’s do it. The duo have a good chemistry together. Also, the strings playing “Falling Slowly” from the film, Once, during their scene pretty much stole my heart.

Super Slayer Strength. Jeremy  (Stephen R. McQueen) the vampire slayer has got super strength and energy now that his hunter potential has been awakened. Too bad most of his friends are vampires. In the name of love and by Klaus’ order, Stefan gets Jeremy to kill a newborn vamp. But as his tattoo grows , so does his urge to kill the undead – especially his sister. With just two kills under his belt, he’s already thinking like “Connor 2.0.” And within the course of the episode, he attacks both his sister and Stefan. Seeing his difficulty in the situation, Elena takes it upon herself to move out of the house and tells Matt (Zach Roerig) to move in.

Hayley’s secret. Well wouldn’t you know it, the two newbies in town – Hayley and Professor Shane (David Alpay) – are in cahoots. Apparently breaking the hybrids of their sire bonds to Klaus is all a part of the plan, though Tyler of course knows nothing of that. Professor Shane also clued Damon in that whatever the hunter’s mark map leads to, only the magic of a Bennett witch can unlock it. Looks like Bonnie’s (Kat Graham) role just got bigger!

And the next Miss Mystic Falls is…. April Young (Grace Phipps).

Buzz Moments:

OMG: UM, ELENA AND DAMON SLEPT TOGETHER! And WHAT? He’s probably her sire?!?! Bananas.

Thank you, TV gods.: Can I use that last five minutes for all of our buzz moments? I’m pretty sure “Delena” fans are watching those last scenes on repeat for the rest of their night.

Awk-ward: “Hey boys, I’m moving in!” Stefan’s exit as Elena let he and Damon know she would be living with them was awkward to say the very least. It was also kind of sad.

Hotness: Again, Elena and Damon’s bedroom romp has to take this. Though, Wesley opening the episode with push ups comes in a close second.

Fab-u-lous: I was loving everything about Dobrev’s look at Miss Mystic Falls from the dress to the earrings to the fishtail braid. While I have yet to be able to find where to get that dress, the earrings are here.

Can. Not. Wait.: A flashback to the past complete with a guest spot by Arielle Kebbel (Lexie). Get us to Bourbon St. stat.

Celebuzz (1-10): 9. While I’m still processing the implications of all that went down on the episode, this was definitely one of the best episodes of the season thus far.

So tell us fans, what did you think of “My Brother’s Keeper”? Are you excited that Elena and Damon finally took this step or is it tainted because she may have been tricked it to it? Tell us what you think below!

Elena (Nina Dobrev) was having a difficult time on the second episode of Season 4 of The CW’s The Vampire Diaries.

Not wanting to feed from a human, the baby vamp was unable to keep any blood down no matter what the source. Mystic Falls also had to deal with the arrival of a new vampire hunter and the Pastor’s daughter. We also got a surprise appearance from an old face, which made us smile.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen Thursday’s episode, “Memorial.”

“Her compassion is her Achilles heel.” Part of being a vampire means all of your emotions are heightened and for Elena that could severely cripple her food source. She cares so much about others, especially in her time of need, that hurting someone could probably kill her. Stefan (Paul Wesley) is so worried that she’ll want to turn off her humanity if she kills someone that he has her try a “bunny diet.” Damon (Ian Somerhalder) of course doesn’t agree. “Vampires eat people. It’s part of the natural food pyramid,” he says. Seems like he might be right since she can’t seem to keep any source of blood down until the end of the episode.

The Pastor’s Daughter. Elena has a history with Pastor Young’s daughter April (Grace Phipps) as she used to be her babysitter. April’s big TVD debut has her almost becoming Elena’s first victim. With the help of Caroline (Candice Accola), the new vampire was able to regroup and compel April to forget what happened at the memorial. How awesome is Caroline in this scene by the way? Or all the time actually?

Connor Jordan is trouble. There’s a new vampire hunter in town and he is going to give our favorite vamps a run for their money. Connor comes strolling into Mystic Falls with vervain-laced gloves and special tattooed bullets. After a run in with Tyler (Michael Trevino), he attacks April and uses her as bait for the vampires during the memorial for the council. Connor also has some interesting tattoos that only Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) can see.

Matt makes a sacrifice for Elena. With Connor’s trap set, Elena has to feed on something or she just might lose it. Matt, full of guilt from Elena’s “death” offers up his neck to help her. Sneakily, she appeared to grieve into his shoulder at the church while actually getting her first taste of real human blood from the vein as Connor watched from afar.

Stefan vs. Damon.When it comes to Elena, we all know that Stefan and Damon will never see eye to eye. Tension came to a head on Thursday as Damon let his brother know that Elena had drank from him. Apparently, blood sharing is a huge deal between vampires and it had Stefan pissed, not just at Damon but Elena as well. The best part of their continual fight..when Stefan saved his brother and then punched him. When Damon asked, “What?” he responded, “You know what?”

Damon is missing Alaric (Matt Davis) and I am too. Damon’s statements that someone was sitting in the Grill with him was most definitely a nod to our favorite ex-history teacher. And much to our surprise, we actually got to see him! When the rest of the gang were lighting lanterns in a beautiful scene to honor of their dearly departed friends and family, Damon was at the cemetery talking to his old pal with a bottle of booze. How perfect was the use of the Fray’s “Ungodly Hour” in this scene? It killed me.

Damon gets the best lines. Seriously, this sexy Salvatore brother had some gem one-liners during “Memorial.” My favorite was, “Am I wearing my ‘I blew up the council t shirt!?’ Why is everyone asking me that?”

Buzz Moments:

OMG!: I uttered a few gasps during the episode, but I’d have to say I was most shocked by Connor stabbing April and Tyler getting shot by him in front of the whole town.

Awk-ward: In an awkward but awesome moment, Connor introduces himself to Damon and Damon says he’s a germaphobe.

Hotness: Elena and Stefan were heading into unbelievably hot territory when he was helping her learn how to be a vampire. Too bad it was stopped short by some bloody vomit.

Fab-u-lous: Unfortunately, Elena’s initial dress at the memorial was also ruined by some bloody vomit. But before that happened, she looked adorable in her lace peach dress from Anthropologie. Though it’s not available in stores anymore, you can scour eBay to find it.

Can. Not. Wait.: The arrival of Phoebe Tonkin as werewolf Hayley! We loved her on The Secret Circle and think she’ll fit right into the TVD crew. We can’t wait to see what drama she might stir up between Tyler and Caroline.

Celebuzz Meter (1-10): 9. Another stellar episode for Season 4 with some tense, funny and emotional moments littered throughout. Keep it coming TVD!

The Vampire Diaries shows as many sexy sides of its cast as it can.

Now, Kat Graham — Bonnie Bennett on the hit CW show – is showing her more personal side in an online video diary. Celebuzz has an up-close look at the project, Kat Graham Road To, in which the actress/singer mingles with fans and hits the recording studio to put down vocals for her pop/hip-hop songs.

“We have kind of created an army, where we get to see the same fans over and over again,” the 23-year-old says. “I get to know them — where they’re from, who they are. We really make a connection. It’s very much a family.”

And it’s one she says is especially close to her.

“I feel like this is my show — not a production company putting it together,” Graham said in a conference call on Friday.

One thing that the singer/actress doesn’t reveal in her videos, which are each a few minutes long: the pain and toil stemming from her music career.

“I have had, I don’t want to say an extremely negative experience in the music industry, but it has definitely been a grind,” said Graham, who has nearly 500,000 followers on Twitter. “It’s very grimy. I wouldn’t say it’s been a pretty process. It’s left me crying on the carpet, in a dirty apartment, with no money. But it’s been worth it.”

Graham’s 2012 record, Against the Wall, boasts a pop/hip-hop sound with strong beats and has a single, “Put Your Graffiti On Me.” The Pictures of You LP came out in 2007, and she had a single in 2010, “I Want It All.” Before joining the cast of Vampire Diaries in 2009, Graham toured with the Black Eyed Peas as an opening act.

Kat Graham Road To is on Awesomeness TV, which also broadcasts programs from teen singing impresario Greyson Chance and pop quartet Mindless Behavior. Road To premieres its fourth episode this week.

Meanwhile, The Vampire Diaries is moving full-steam ahead. Over the weekend at Comic-Con, the show’s cast and creators previewed its fourth season, which begins in September. As is often the case at Comic-Con, they teased numerous spoilers about the upcoming season.

“Everything just feels so new and so fresh,” said said executive producer Julie Plec. “It feels so familiar in all of the right ways, and it feels so different in all of the best ways, too. Elena’s [Nina Debrov] going through a new change, of course. And Damon [Ian Somehalder] and Stefan [Paul Wesley] are going to have to deal with that change with her and for her. But all of the characters, too, as they gear up for senior year and graduation. It’s a lot of really good, deep, emotional, twisted stuff.”

Graham predicts a lot of change for her character this season, as well.

“You are going to see a Bonnie that is in a more vulnerable place — which she’s always sort of been, but now she’s going to be forced to do different things that make her way more vulnerable than she’s ever been,” she said. “She’s going to lose even more than she lost. She’s going to have to find a way to fill in that hole. You’re going to find a different side. It’s not bad. It’s not all drama.”

Now here’s something to sink your teeth into.

Vampire Diaries beauty Nina Dobrev pretties up the February 2011 cover of Canadian magazine Flare with a stunning photo by lensman Chris Nichols.

The 22-year-old actress, who plays Elena Gilbert on the hit CW series, also weighs in on a number of topics—such as particularly memorable moments in her dating life. Asked to name her best date ever, Dobrev recalls,

“It’s a toss up between two: “[In the first], I was supposed to have a date with someone, and at the last minute I had to fly to another city for business. Not only was he extremely understanding of the whole situation, but he surprised me by flying to meet me for dinner later that night. I was shocked at how far (literally) he would go to surprise, and spend time with me. It was very romantic. [In the second], after a long, extremely exhausting, and emotionally draining day on set, I got back home to find my boyfriend in the kitchen making me dinner. He handed me a glass of wine and walked me into the living room where there was a massage table set up. He said ‘You’ve had a rough day, I have a masseuse coming to the house in a few minutes and after you’re finished with your massage dinner will be ready.’ I almost died.”

Luckily, in the vampire world, even if she did die, she wouldn’t be gone for long.

Michelle Skowronek: As the second season of Vampire Diaries heats up, it’s only a matter of time before new hook-ups evolve and rebound romances begin! The CW is keeping us on the edge of our seats by oh-so-strategically spreading out new episodes every few weeks. Last night was the return of the teen-crazed drama series from its three-week hiatus, and it was hotter than ever!

Aside from the obvious sexy love triangle between Elena (Nina Dobrev), Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder), there’s a new character heating up, Bonnie the witch played by Katerina Graham.

I was lucky enough to talk to the 21-year-old actress just when he relationship with Elena’s younger brother Jeremy (Stephen McQueen) started to develop. Kat was looking super glam at the Lesbian and Gay Gala November 13, and I got a shot of her with my Windows 7 Phone while I was standing on the red carpet!

Kat gave me all the juicy gossip about her on-screen romance with Stephen. “I love working with Stephen McQueen he’s such a cutie. Not a bad looking cast. I’m not complaining,” she said.

And neither are we, Kat!

Check out how great my photo of Kat came out! It looks like a professional took it, but really it was just me and my Windows phone.

Good news for Vampire Diaries fans: the show’s creator, Kevin Williamson, has reportedly been tapped to create a spin-off from the series for the CW.

E! Online reports that Kevin and the CW are developing a “companion” series for the hit vampire-centric show.

According to insiders, the new one-hour drama will follow a group of investigators whose speciality is dealing with paranormal activity. The project is still in the development stages and insiders say that it is unclear if any of the TVD characters will cross over between the two shows, but the new potential show has already snagged TVD executive producer Julie Plec.

According to E!, the currently unnamed project will be under consideration for the CW’s upcoming 2011-2012 season.

Will this show be as additive as TVD? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Vampire Diaries star Katerina “Kat” Graham took a break from bewitching Mystic Falls to indulge in a snuggle and smooch-filled breakfast run with hot model boyfriend Cottrell Guidry on Sunday in Los Angeles.

They may play bloodsuckers on TV, but the studly stars of CW’s The Vampire Diaries proved they have the human touch when they dropped in on fans at a Florida mall over the weekend.

Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder (two of the hottest vampires next to Robert Pattinson!) hosted a meet-and-greet with fans of the supernatural series and even inked hundreds of autographs. Sadly absent was hot on-screen werewolf Taylor Kinney, who was (spoiler ahead!) killed off in last week’s episode.
