In a recent interview Kayla Ewell (Vicki) stated that there will be new twists and turns coming, that season 3 is jam packed with action and romance, and Vicki will be right in the middle of it.

Vampire Diaries Character Review: Elena Gilbert/Katherine Price

I want to start by saying that Nina Dobrev does a bang-up job portraying the polar opposites Elena and Katherine. Playing a dual role is not easy to start with, and these two can prove to be very difficult, but Nina makes it look easy and natural, even at her young age of 22 years-old. Both Elena and Katherine are so believable, and real, you'll be looking at every girl around you differently, if not a little fearful.

Elena Gilbert, the main love interest in the show is unquestionably sweet, loving, compassionate, and adorable. While Katherine Price, the vampire version of Elena, is vicious, self indulgent, and sensual, to a fault. The only similarities between the two characters is looks, and their love for the Salvatore brothers. They walk different, they think different, they act different, and at times I even hear a difference in their voices. Katherine seems to have a slightly deeper, more whisky kissed voice. Listen closely and you will hear it yourself. Katherine may be every man's fantasy, but Elena is the type of person everyone loves and strides to be, or at least should anyway.

Nina Dobrev was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. She moved to Canada with her family at age two. She also speaks fluent French, English, and Bulgarian - which I'm sure helped her in playing the role of Katherine. Nina has been a fan favorite at the teen choice awards winning Break Out Star Female in 2010, Actress Fantasy/Scifi in 2010 and 2011, and nominated for Female Hottie in 2011, only to be beat out by Selena Gomez.

The Vampire Diaries

First I have to say that I just watched the first episode of The Vampire Diaries a few months ago. I had heard of the show, seen some previews, but wrote it off as another teen vampdrama riding on the skirt tails of Twilight. Wow was I ever wrong. This show has fangs as well as heart, and follows the same guidelines that I do in my own writing. Strong, believable characters - don't let the gore fuel the story - and lastly that no character is truly safe. Although there are similarities between Diaries and Twilight, the differences are obvious in the first episode. The casting could not have been better, and the writing is so strong it makes it easy to believe. If you are like me and passed up this show, I suggest that you go out and pick up the first two seasons. But make sure you don't start watching until you have a couple of free days. Why? Because once you start watching you won't want to stop. Season three will be kicking off soon, but I am sure not soon enough for its fan base.

I have much more to say about this series, but that will come in later bogs. So keep checking back.
