Vampire DIaries Ode To Twilight???

Nina Dobrev has claimed that The Vampire Diaries is indebted to The Twilight Saga.

While attending the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, the 22-year-old actress spoke to MTV News about The Vampire Diaries, stating that the CW series has thrived on the success of Twilight.

"I think that we're all really happy for each other," Dobrev said when asked if she felt a kinship with the Twilight stars. "I'm very happy that they exist because we exist because of them. Their success is our success."

The actress went on to admit that she laments the fact that The Twilight Saga is coming to its conclusion.

"I'm kind of sad the movies are almost over," the Bulgarian star said.

Dobrev previously claimed that the third season of The Vampire Diaries is a "blank slate", claiming that the show will feel entirely different now that Stefan (Paul Wesley) has gone to the dark side.

Dobrev recently praised the show's executive producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec for managing to make fans want Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena to get together in spite of Damon's past behavior.

It Just Keeps Getting Better......

The Vampire Diaries star Kayla Ewell has revealed that her character will be "back with a vengeance" in the third season.

Her character Vicki was transformed into a vampire and subsequently killed off in the CW drama's first season, but made a surprise return in the second season finale.

Ewell told TV Guide: "[Vicki's dealing 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."

The actress also described her shock reappearance in 'As I Lay Dying' as "the most top secret job I've ever done in my life".

Ewell admitted: "I couldn't even tell my brother and sister because they're both in college and I was really afraid that [it would end up on] Facebook and Twitter. So I literally told my mom and dad, and that was it."

Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev recently indicated that the show's third season is "like a blank slate".

"I think it's going to feel like a completely new show now that Stefan (Paul Wesley) has gone to the dark side," she suggested.

The series will return to Thursdays at 8/7c in the fall on The CW.
