“Ian is gregarious, the life of the party and the one everybody gravitates toward; Paul is like a secretive, sexy, groovy vampire – he’s on the opposite end of the spectrum,” says Kayla.
Starring alongside Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley in The CW’s “The Vampire Diaries”, Kayla Ewell has nothing but praise for the actors, considering both of them very sexy and hot. “They’re both so sexy! Every day I show up at work and think, ‘It’s not fair that you’re this hot!” she tells OK! Magazine in an exclusive interview for its current issue.
“They’re so charming in real life and each has a really engaging personality,” raves the 24-year-old actress. “Ian is gregarious, the life of the party and the one everybody gravitates toward; Paul is like a secretive, sexy, groovy vampire – he’s on the opposite end of the spectrum.”

Fans of the hit show “The Vampire Diaries” got a jolt recently when — in episode seven of the series — an actress who appeared to be one of the show’s main characters was killed off with a stake to the heart. Now, the mastermind behind the TV series is speaking for the first time about his motive for the murder.
“I don’t want to be that show where there’s no jeopardy,” explained Kevin Williamson in a recent chat with MTV, giving us the scoop on Vicki’s shocking death. “[Some shows] are all very predictable in the sense that, well, ‘We know this is the lead character so we know he won’t die.’ Or, ‘That’s a regular, so he won’t die, it’ll be a supporting person.”

Last Thursday, Vampire Diaries bowed to The CW’s highest debut ratings ever. So Kayla Ewell, who plays Vicki on the show, has a request: Stop talking about those supposed mug shots that made the rounds on the Internet last week, and start talking about those ratings. “Having this be the first story that’s released is so frustrating,” Ewell says. “[The situation] is so exaggerated and [has been] made into something it’s not.”

Vampire Diairies drew an impressive 4.84 million viewers in its debut last night, making it The CW’s most-watched premiere ever (even beating 90210 last year). Among females 18-34 (a.k.a. The CW’s sweet spot), it notched a strong 3.1 rating.
Preliminary ratings suggest the fifth season premiere of Supernatural didn’t fare as well, drawing (a still decent) 3.4 million viewers.

The last day at Comic-Con (sob) means our final pilot review, which is The CW’s Twilight-style drama The Vampire Diaries.
In a nutshell: Two vampire brothers – one good, one evil – are vying for the attention of a local high-school hottie and since it’s not the first time they’ve clashed over a girl, they’re willing to fight dirty.
Pilot premise: The pilot largely focuses on the female protagonist, Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), and her family-related woes. It turns out that her mother and father are dead, she’s being ‘disciplined’ by her aunt, and her brother has gone somewhat off the rails since the demise of their parents. Enter the ‘good’ vampire, Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley), who immediately catches her eye. The pair dance around each other for most of the episode, and eventually Elena invites him into her house. Meanwhile, local residents are being bitten – in some cases quite savagely – and the obvious candidate is Stefan. However, a scene towards the end hints that his (as-yet-unseen) brother, Damon (Ian Somerhalder), is the real culprit. Cue fight scene, and fade to black – after some Dear Diary moments, of course.

“The Vampire Diaries,” the CW’s attempt to catch some of the “Twilight” and “True Blood” hysteria, made its Comic-Con debut to an enthusiastic crowd at Comic-Con, screening the pilot which drew an equal number of cheers and jeers for its tween dialogue.
Expressing some reservations about trying to hop on the massive resurgence the vampire genre currently has, series writer/executive producer Kevin Williamson (“Dawson’s Creek”) said he initially said no to doing a series and big-screen version of the ’90s books written by L.J. Smith on which the series is based.
