Joseph Morgan gets by with a lot of help from his wife, Persia White. This week's episode of The Originals marks Morgan's television directorial debut. He's directed a few short films on the past, but never something on this scale, and he was surprised by how "huge" the episode ended up being in terms of sequences, stunts, and visual effects. Thankfully, his wife was by his side to support him through it all. "My wife was just incredible during the whole process. She was just so utterly supportive," Morgan, 34, tells People. "I couldn't have done it without her." During the eight days of filming,...

We learned during last month’s San Diego Comic-Con that both Claire Holt (Rebekah) and Nathaniel Buzolic (Kol) will be returning for flashbacks during Season 3 of “The Originals,” and now, thanks to TV Guide, we know they’ll be joined by… Continue Reading →

The post Several Originals Returning for The Originals Season 3 Including Casper Zafer as Finn! appeared first on Dread Central.

Since it first debuted 4 years ago, The Vampire Diaries has never been shy about killing off characters. In fact, they have taken such a no-holds-barred approach to it that major character deaths are now expected. Most recently, the loss of Jeremy Gilbert (Steven R. McQueen) added to the long list of deaths of characters fans were attached to; before that, there had been the death’s Alaric (Matt Davis), Jenna (Sara Canning), John (David Anders), Isobel (Mia Kirshner), Anna (Malese Jow), Lexi (Arielle Kebbel)– and to a lesser degree Grams, Vicki (Kayla Ewell), Mason (Taylor Kinney), Rose (Lauren Cohan), Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic), Finn (Casper Zafer), Esther (Alice Evans), Carol Lockwood (Susan Walters), and Bill Forbes (Jack Coleman).

What I propose here is that The Vampire Diaries that has never been hesitant to kill before should take the ultimate risk and kill off its lead, Elena Gilbert. Now let’s be clear,...

Elena (Nina Dobrev) is watched by someone at the hospital as she talks about the attacks with Matt (Zach Roerig). He's lucky the only thing he needs to worry about is work, but that won't last long. Outside Elena backs onto something and when she gets out of the car she's confronted by Rebekah (Claire Holt) who's out for revenge for getting staked by her. Elijah (Daniel Gillies) saves her from being bitten and he asks Rebekah if she's challenging him. So was Elijah watching out for Elena or was he the one who was watching from the hospital? Damon (Ian Somerhalder) wonders how Ester (Alice Evans) is even alive. Elijah wants them all to live in peace, yeah that'll happen. Stefan (Paul Wesley) says they need a weapon to help them win over Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Damon: "Anyone else feeling a little used right now?" No, but he will...

Fans of "The Vampire Diaries" will be happy to know that everyone's favorite vampire/werewolf hybrid makes his devilish return on Thursday's (March 29) all-new episode. However, upon his return to Mystic Falls, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) will have to deal with one major problem: Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) are raising the stakes after finding a way to kill the Originals.

But you don't live to be 1,000 years old and not learn a thing or two about self-defense. "Up until recently, as far as [Klaus] knew, he was indestructible," Morgan told HuffPost TV. "And now, suddenly, there's a bag with 12 weapons all capable of killing him. You better believe that he's going to do everything in his power to get ahold of that and destroy it as quickly as possible."

After this week "The Vampire Diaries", "The Secret Circle", and "Supernatural" all go on spring break, but first here are Producer's Previews of "The Murder of One", "Sacrifice", and "Party On, Garth", respectively.

"The Vampire Diaries" Episode 3.18 "The Murder of One" (3/29/12 Air Date; 8:00-9:00 Pm):

Savior Of The Cursed And The Damned — Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) focus a new project that will bring them closer to destroying Klaus (Joseph Morgan), and they quickly bring Elena (Nina Dobrev), Caroline (Candice Accola), and Matt (Zach Roerig) in on the plan.

After Klaus threatens someone close to Bonnie (Kat Graham), she has no choice but to work on the spell he needs. Meanwhile Klaus and Rebekah (guest star Claire Holt) find the perfect motivator to convince Finn (guest star Caspar Zafer) to cooperate with them, but Rebekah is more interested in her own brutal plan to take revenge on Damon.

The YouTube description of this clip from "The Vampire Diaries" Episode 3.18, "The Murder of One", is just so priceless we wouldn't think of changing it: Watch as Damon and Stefan show the group their special wood.

Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) fight and just after Klaus finished redecorating too. Never mind not much damage was done. Elijah warns if Klaus uses the dagger he'll have Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) to deal with, Kol being another sibling and original. Klaus admits to killing Mikael with his own dagger. Klaus agrees to tell him things he didn't want to disclose before. He also recalls the oath of loyalty Elijah gave him and Klaus needs him by his side in order to destroy Stefan (Paul Wesley) and their family will be together once more. Alaric (Matt Davis) admits to calling Meredith (Torrey DeVitto) when he was drunk. The sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) tells him and Elena (Nina Dobrev) of Brian's death with a stake which was taken from Elena's parent's lakehouse cabin. It has Elena's prints on it, well duh. Elena calls Damon (Ian Somerhalder) who suggests she should ask Alaric about the doctor.

Last night two characters on "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Secret Circle" believed they had allies on their sides, but sadly, both Damon and Adam were duped. Damon, per usual, found Plan B; Adam not so much. What will next week hold?

Plus, Alaric goes off the deep end! What do you think is really happening to him? The Gilbert-Salvatore love triangle is so last week. The March 22 episode of The Vampire Diaries introduced us to a whole new threesome in Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Rebekah (Claire Holt) and Sage (Cassidy Freeman). Of course, their ménage à trois was less about love -- and more about straight-up murder. Using sexy times to lower Rebekah's defenses, Sage read her mind and clued Damon in about the existence of a second White Oak Tree -- conveniently used to build the already infamous Wickery Bridge! But even though Damon promised to spare Sage's fave Original Finn (Caspar Zafer), she still decided to turn on him and tell Becky all about their little plan. Fortunately, Damon is as crafty as he is unspeakably attractive -- he spent half of this episode in a towel, and it was...

The Vampire Diaries‘ Damon will have a blast in the past – and then get a blast from the past – starting tonight (on The CW, 8/7c), when Cassidy Freeman inhabits the role of Sage, an ol’ vampire friend who in the books was a male, but let’s face it — Cassidy Freeman? Yes, please. TVLine spoke with the Smallville alumna about jumping back into the genre-tv ring (literally and figuratively), how Sage will bring flavor to Damon’s current existence and the super opportunities presented to her post-Smallville.

Need proof? Well, check out this fine line up of pics from the set. We have baddies, blood, weapons in Elena’s hands, and more!

Damon is in chains at the hands of Claire Holt’s character, Rebekah. She is drawing blood from Ian Somerhalder’s much adored bad boy. It looks like her chance for revenge has finally come.

Cassidy Freeman as Sage seems to be in tears in one film still. Meanwhile, Paul Wesley’s Stefan and Nina Dobrev’s Elena appear to be arming themselves for a fight. Nice crossbow! They don’t look very confident, either. On the other hand, you’ll see a calm and collected Candice Accola...

We have 19 new photos from The Vampire Diaries March closer, “Murder for One.”

The photos have a few Spoilers in them regarding character returns so if you haven’t already caught the spoiler, turn away.

It looks like the war between the Originals and the Mystic Falls’ vampires will be heating up by the end of March. This photo below shows Elena arming herself with a massive crossbow; its reminiscent of the scene when Tyler and Jeremy were practicing with the crossbow. It was also the beginning of the end for Jeremy’s character. After using the crossbow on a hybrid that was attacking Elena, a fearless Jeremy chopped off the hybrid’s head. Later on, Elena had Jeremy mind wiped and sent away.

We also have some interesting photos of Damon and Rebekah. Their strictly sexual relationship has turned into an S&M case as pictured below. In truth,...

Waiting for new episodes suck. Especially when it comes to The Vampire Diaries. Is there any possibility that you’ve got some killer scoop to tied me over? — Francesca

The TV Addict: In keeping with your request for killer scoop, fans should brace themselves for a face-to-face with two characters who have been long gone, albeit not so much forgotten. Which is to say, Producers are currently casting for the biological parents of Jeremy Gilbert, Miranda and Grayson, for what we have a feeling will be a fairly pivotal flashback. On, and on the off chance that’s not enough to whet your appetite, the CW Network just released this very interesting description of the Thursday March 29th episode that goes a little something like so: Entitled “The Murder of One” — Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) focus a new project that will bring them closer to destroying Klaus...

The Vampire Diaries' executive producer Julie Plec has hinted that Klaus will face problems when his siblings are resurrected. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) laid his family to rest but Stefan (Paul Wesley) stole their coffins in the show's last episode. Plec has now revealed that the Originals - including Klaus's sister Rebekah (Claire Holt) and brothers Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) and Finn (Caspar Zafer) - could be revived and cause problems for Klaus. "At least one of those daggered Originals is coming out of those coffins," she hinted. "That will happen sooner or later." Plec added: "Klaus, who has been very much in control of everything for quite a long time, suddenly (more)...

Is there anything more torturous than waiting almost two months for a new episode The Vampire Diaries? If so, it’s gotta be waiting the last few hours until the show finally returns tonight (The CW, 8/7c). But, executive producer Julie Plec promises, “It will be well worth [your] while” if you tune in. “There’s a good little series moment.”

Here, TVLine gets her to dish on what’s ahead for Damon and Elena, a romance forKlaus, Tyler and Caroline’s relationship, the introduction of Alaric’s new leading lady and more!

Exclusive First Look: Vampire Diaries Stars Get Sexy (Duh!

There are currently 20 days until "The Vampire Diaries" returns to your screens, and here at Zap2it, we're doing our best to help you make it through these cold, lonely times without your favorite monsters/witches/hunters/damsels in distress/etc.

Now, it's time to talk about Originals. When we last saw our new favorite character, Rebekah (Claire Holt), Damon had dumped her in the Salvatore basement with a dagger in her back. Don't worry, Rebekah fans -- her red homecoming dress won't be collecting dust in that dungeon for long.

If you totally love Claire in the role as much as we do, we're certainly not alone! "She has been such a delight for everybody, from the crew and the writers, to everybody at the studio and network level that pays us to do our jobs," executive producer Julie Plec tells us.

That's not the say that they're surprised by how delightful she is.

There's a lot going on behind the scenes of "The Vampire Diaries" during its winter hiatus with several news items coming out over the past couple of days. We have a casting update for two of Klaus' brothers; a hint of what's in store for their sister, Rebekah; and a peek at Torrey DeVitto, aka Mrs. Paul Wesley, in character as Dr. Fell.

First up we have British actor Casper Zafer (Monsieur Francois; below left) and Australian actor Nathaniel Buzolic (Needle; below right) being tapped to play the recurring roles of Finn and Kol, respectively, who have a bone to pick with their brother Klaus (Joseph Morgan), especially since they've been locked up in those coffins he's been carting around for so long. According to TV Guide Zafer and Buzolic will first appear in Episode 13, airing on January 26th.

And what about their dear sister, Rebekah (Claire Holt), whom Elena...

Vampire Diaries – Two Brothers for Klaus

Since we’re spending so much time getting to know Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) family on The Vampire Diaries, we might as well get to meet the last of his brothers. Since two of them are long dead, the only ones left are locked away tight in those coffins Klaus are been keeping around. That is, until Stefan took them right from under Klaus’ nose. Now they won’t be locked up for long and the show has found two attractive men to play the parts.

TV Guide reported British actor Casper Zafer (Le Femme Muskateer) and Australian actor Nathaniel Buzolic (Out of the Blue) will play the remaining two brothers, Finn and Kol respectively. You can bet they are not pleased once they have been set free from their prisons, causing even more trouble for the cast of Vampire Diaries. They could play a...

The Vampire Diaries has added two more cast members. The CW series has cast Caspar Zafer and Nathaniel Buzolic as the two remaining members of the Original vampire family, TV Guide reports. They will play the roles of Finn and Kol respectively. The two brothers will first appear in episode 13 of season three. Previous Original family members who have appeared include the hybrid Klaus (Joseph Morgan), his brother Elijah (Daniel Gillies), his sister Rebekah (Claire Holt) and his father Mikael (Sebastian Roche). (more)...

Klaus’ two other Original Brothers have been cast in recurring roles on ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ TVGuide is reporting. British actor Caspar Zafer of ‘La Femme Muskateer’ fame has been offered the role of Finn, while Australian actor Nathaniel Buzzolic from ‘Out of the Blue’ is set to play Kol. Both brothers are upset with Klaus, portrayed by Joseph Morgan, as he’s locked them up in his coffins. The casting of Zafter and Buzzolic comes after Klaus’ step-father, Mikael, played by Sebastian Roche, previously appeared in the third season of the hit CW supernatural series. Klaus killed Mikael during the midseason finale, however. Klaus’ sister, Rebekah, played by Claire Holt, was...

I'll be honest, this op-ed in The Advocate from adult film star Conner Habib is brilliant. As he reflects on the Fox ambush of teacher Kevin Hogan, he asks a fair question: Why is it Ok to watch porn, but not be in porn? "For these opposers — “investigative journalists,” demonizers, and so-called “upholders of moral value” — there’s a separation between sex and pornography. Sex is meant, at best, to be natural but unmentioned. For surely, the parents of the students at Mystic Valley have had sex, as have the reporters and CEOs and affiliates of Fox News. Who knows what sort of sex they...

Klaus' 2 other very upset brothers arriving & more in this new Vampire Diaries season 3 spoiler. As we previously reported, we're going to see the appearance of Klaus' other brother Finn this season. Now, according to Finn and Kol with be played by British actor Caspar Zafer (left) and Australian actor Nathaniel Buzolic (right). They are definitely going to have a bone to pick with Klaus,but I don't think they're really going to be able to do anything about it,but who knows,they might. They are Originals,after all. They're scheduled to make their first appearance in episode 13,which is being filmed as we speak. In related news, Stefan is going to be trying to stay one step ahead of Klaus since he stole those coffins,and Caroline will get very sad over her breakup with Tyler,and more. The back half of season 3 is going to get real interesting...

The Nate Berkus Show is coming to an end.

Sony and Harpo, the studios behind the syndicated series, announced Friday that they have decided not to renew the Oprah offshoot beyond this season, the show’s second, Broadcasting & Cable reports.

“I’m incredibly proud of my hard working and talented staff, and proud of the show we were able to produce every day,” Berkus said in a statement.

The Nate Berkus Show remains in production and will deliver all remaining Season 2 episodes.

This marks Oprah Winfrey’s first syndicated misfire, following the successful launches of Dr. Phil, the Rachael Ray...

Big news, "Vampire Diaries" fans! The remaining Original siblings have been cast  -- and they're both guys, making Rebekah the sole sister (which explains a lot).

British actor Caspar Zafer (left) is set to play Finn, a brother described as "quiet, but with a dark side" in the casting breakdown. Kol, the final Original sibling, will be played by Nathaniel Buzolic. Buzolic, an Australian actor, is best known from Aussie soap "Out of the Blue." The casting was first reported by TV Guide.

Both brothers are going to wake up not-too-pleased with Klaus (Joseph Morgan), and understandably so, seeing as he not only staked them and stuck them in coffins, but it's now been revealed that he murdered their mother. We can expect to meet Finn in episode 313 -- no word yet on when we'll meet Kol.

To clear up a few things -- yes, those are the only two remaining siblings.
