Bianca Lawson Interview about Teen Wolf, Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars

Thanks to Philomina for the heads up.

1.When you were cast for "The Vampire Diaries" were you reminded of your time on the cult TV show "Buffy"? What is different in working on a vampire show now from what it was then?

No, I wasn't reminded of "Buffy", actually. Probably because, tonally, they feel like such different shows to me. VD feels a little more serious, where as "Buffy" was more humorous and tongue n cheek, I think. Plus, the characters are just so different. Emily is very internal and still , with like a un-graspable water quality. Where Kendra was very physical, emotionally inexperienced and solid. But I suppose an answer to the question could be where special affects and social media is right now vs. then... there really wasn't a huge difference for me in the vampire genre aspect, though.

2. Is it true you were originally cast for Cordelia Chase? Did you watch the show and sometimes wondered how your Cordelia would have been different?

Yes, but I was committed to another show at the time. And, no I didn't think about how my Cordelia would have been different because Charisma's portrayal was wonderful. She was the perfect Cordelia. And, might I add - was lovely to work with.

3. Emily Bennett on "The Vampire Diaries" is a powerful witch. Which of her powers do you find the most dangerous and / or beguiling: the mind control, telekinesis, precognition...?

Well, I think that all of her powers are awesome, beguiling and dangerous. But "most" - mind control.

4. Your "Pretty Little Liars" character Maya died last season, but we've been seeing you in a few flash backs and video sequences since. Is there more to come?

The last video will be in the season 3 finale.
