From all of us here at CAO we would like to wish Candice a very Happy Birthday!

I’ve added screen captures from the first 2 episodes of the season to our Gallery.

Caroline’s going on a road trip for her first college spring break on “The Vampire Diaries,” but she’s not heading to some boozy beach town with plans to party all night and sleep all day. Nope, she’s heading to Atlanta with none other than Enzo to track down Stefan’s doppelganger and kill him, ensuring that the Travelers don’t kill her BFF. That’s a lot of pressure for someone who just wants to make it through her first year of college unscathed … and maybe get some good grades along the way.

Zap2it got Candice Accola on the line to talk all things Caroline, including what to expect from her road trip with Enzo, whether she can really kill a Stefan doppelganger in cold blood, whether or not she ‘ships Caroline with Stefan, and much more. Plus, Accola promises we’ll get to see a “strong” Caroline leading up to the big events of the season finale, and we all know a strong Caroline is the best Caroline. Check out Zap2it’s full Q&A with Accola below.
