New York Comic Con: "Vampire Diaries"
Oct 11, 2010

At the panel for "The Vampire Diaries" fans learned that Katherine's (Nina Dobrev) reign of terror in Mystic Falls is just a flesh wound right now — there will be more bloodshed.

On hand were executive producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, along with actors Sara Canning (Aunt Jenna), Katerina Graham (Bonnie), Steven R. McQueen (Jeremy) and Zach Roerig (Matt).

Evil vamp Katherine is "always one step ahead," according to Williamson, and she'll insert herself into the lives of almost all the characters — Damon, Stefan, and even Matt and Aunt Jenna, perhaps the only two Mystic Falls residents left who have no idea vampires exist.

"Katherine goes super game-changer coming up," Plec previewed. "She starts wreaking havoc. You think she's topped out, but she's just starting... You ain't seen nothin' yet."

Viewers will also learn more about her past, as an upcoming flashback episode delves further into the centuries-old bloodsucker's mysterious origins ("we go way back," Williamson said) and explores the season-long question of why she looks so much like Diaries' central heroine, Elena.

There will be plenty of stories for the show's non-fanged characters, too.

According to Plec, Bonnie takes on two suitors when she "gets interest from somebody she already knows, and also meets somebody new who strikes her fancy."

(That's fine with Graham, who joked that everybody "wants Bonnie to get some.")

Romance won't deter the budding teen witch from keeping sworn enemy Damon in check, though she'll soon have some help.

Look for Elena's eternally miserable younger brother Jeremy to become more enmeshed in the mythology of the series as he begins to realize his family's destiny as a vampire hunter.

"I just want to shoot a crossbow," McQueen told the press after the panel. "I feel like that'd be fun."
