So, to whet your appetites, we sat down with star Candice Accola, who answered a few fun questions from the fans. Does the former Miley Cyrus backup singer miss performing?

A few days ago I added several HQ stills of the upcoming Vampire Diaries episode “The Last Dance”. More have just been released and I’ve added the ones featuring Candice as Caroline to the gallery as well. I can’t wait to see this episode!  Candice looks so cute in her Jackie O inspired costume, don’t you think?

Zap2It posted this incredible article/interview with Candice. It does contain some mild spoilers but I’ve posted that segment of the article after the cut. Also posted is the video of the interview which I will try to get screencaptures of as soon as possible.

On a side note, don’t forget to follow our twitter account to get notice of site updates as soon as they happen plus the occasional news tidbits that don’t make it to the site.

“What I love about Caroline’s arc this season is that she’s just gained so much perspective, which in turn has made her grow up so much.”

If anyone expected a sophomore slump from “The Vampire Diaries,” they’re eating their words as the CW show nears the end of its second season. Season 2 has more than lived up to the promise of the highly successful first season, and one of the primary reasons for the creative success of year 2 is Candice Accola.

When writers decided that Caroline would turn vampire in this year’s shocking premiere, “The Return,” we weren’t sure what to expect. After all, the last time a series regular “turned,” she was killed off shortly thereafter (rest in peace, Vicki Donovan!).

Executive producer Julie Plec recently tweeted, “Caroline having chemistry with everybody has been the best surprise to us as writers. [It] makes it easy to find story.”

Thus, Caroline has managed to survive her difficult transformation and Accola has easily become one of the surprise breakouts of the show — and one of the fan favorites. We witnessed some of the adoration first-hand while we were visiting “The Vampire Diaries” cast in Atlanta. Accola stopped by a concert at a fan event to support Jessarae (co-star Steven R. McQueen’s little brother, who totally blew us away) and fans were eager just to catch a glimpse of her.
