Fresh off the loss of Elena (Nina Dobrev), The Vampire Diaries is adding to its female cast.
Elizabeth Blackmore (Legend of the Seeker), Scarlett Byrne (Falling Skies), and Teressa Liane (Neighbours) have signed on to recur on the long-running CW series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. All three will first appear in The Vampire Diaries' seventh season opener.
Blackmore has been tapped to play Valerie, one of Lily's (Annie Wersching) heretics with "powerful magic and a dark and moody attitude." She doesn't find life in Mystic Falls all the great, and isn't OK with the rules Lily has laid down for the family. And when Valerie goes down her own path, she starts a "dangerous chain of events that will change the face of Mystic Falls." (Perhaps Valerie is the key to that season six finale end scene?)

Finally !!!!
ReplyDeleteFour of the six Heretics cast. Nothing so far about the remaining two. Wonder if they too will be recurring or get killed off in the S7 premiere.
ReplyDeleteI think they are still casting as Julian and Oscar aren't set to appear until 7x01.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing news!! Excited about the Heretics story arc and see our Mystic Falls gang work together to (hopefully) defeat their next enemy.
ReplyDeleteI hope Byrne gets better material than she had on Falling Skies. I wouldn't bet on it though.
ReplyDeleteI don't know any of these actresses but I'm excited!
ReplyDeleteNow let's get on with the casting of The Originals Lucien, Tristan, Van, Will, and Aurora if she isn't the character being played by Tracey Ifeachor already.
ReplyDeletetheya re georgeus.
ReplyDeleteInteresting choices. Not really surprised they are 3 beautiful girls. Didn't watch any of them except Scarlett in the Potter movies.
ReplyDeleteI hoped for a couple of bigger names but I assume budget issues.
Where is Joy? Is he happy with the choices? That is the only thing that matters ;-)
I go with the blonde Lesbian. She seems a bit naive and her death will infuriate the other one.
ReplyDeleteJulian & Oscar will appear in Episode 3,so there's still some time.
ReplyDeleteAll of them look really pretty.My only hope is that they match Kai in some degree at least considering they're the Big Bad of the 1st half.
ReplyDeleteIdk which one is which. Idc to put the faces with their names. (I'm tired). I just feel Valerie will die, b/c she's the dumb rebellious one. I mean it's all in her description. smh
ReplyDeleteI'm with Spindae with this one.Valerie is that chick who'll fall for Enzo.So,i'm thinking at least for the 5-6 episodes,she's safe.I see that Lesbian chick biting the dust sooner than Val.
ReplyDeleteI read the script.She's a really awesome character so far.
ReplyDeleteThose survive the longest. ^^
ReplyDeleteI wish U a good night, hope Ur better today. :-D
Yep,budget issues could be one of the main reasons.I really thought Lily would become a series regular this season but she didn't.
ReplyDeleteWith Annie there are probably budget and scheduling issues. I think they introduced to many Heretics. 4, 5 max would be okay. 6 is a biggish number. How do U like the gals?
ReplyDeleteNothing for may Edy Ganem guess, still Julie followed Nick Wechsler and he followed. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets cast as Julian or an Original cast.
Don't worry about their number.Half of them will die before Mid-season finale,i'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember Elizabeth even though i watched LotS and i don't know the other two so i have nothing much to go on here.
As far as i've read,Julian character is much more complicated and dangerous than Oscar.Very intimidating and has a history with Lily.He has a fabulous confrontation scene with Damon in the premiere.I hope they cast well.
Interesting. Should be a intriguing season. Can't wait for more scoop and promos.
ReplyDeletewe shall see.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they will get so soon rid of them.
ReplyDeleteIf they killed them right away, I would expect retribution and them to kill our crew as well and we are far away from that. So I would expect a slowISH burn further along and let the story develop like with Kai.
This Heretics story has a lot of potential, but I'm bit afraid of them over powering. I mean technically a Heretic could siphon out the werewolf course out of a person (so much potential for a crossover, you stubborn stubborn Narducci!!!!)
ReplyDeleteSo excited and so anxious. 12 more weeks ago!

All the bits of info commenters have shared is making me even more excited for Season 7, if that's even possible.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some of you saw that at Comic Con last weekend Ian said badass Damon will be back in S7! In fact he said it twice, loudly and vehemently as if he felt vindicated or something. I knew he loved playing S1 Damon and had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Damon's "evolving". I loved smirky, snarky, badass Damon too and I'll be very happy to have him back, violence and all, but with a plan and a purpose this time. Otherwise several seasons of character development will have been just a lie to win Elena and will be undone. Not realistic IMO.
Also at Comic Con I saw for the first time myself that Julie really must favor Ian. He was sitting next to her and he rubbed her shoulder a couple of times. She looked at him adoringly, I swear. And to top it off, one time she looked at him and clearly mouthed, "I love you." Geez, this guy's appeal even extends to his boss! Of course it is Ian, so...

ReplyDeletehttp://vampirediaries.wikia.com/wiki/Nora
http://vampirediaries.wikia.com/wiki/Mary_Louise
http://vampirediaries.wikia.com/wiki/Malcolm
http://vampirediaries.wikia.com/wiki/Julian_(Season_Seven)
I think Damon will see these upcoming 60-70 years as a time to live out and enjoy life, cause he will turn human upon Elena waking up.
ReplyDeleteHe will enjoy life but will respect the people he loves and respect what Elena loved about him. It will be interesting seeing him letting out all of his sex without realluly going for it.
I just hate that guy,then again his favorite character is Hayley so you know......I really wish CW exces kick him off that position he's so smug about.
ReplyDeleteJulie favors Ian-You're somewhat 5-6 years late to party my friend.LOL! Everyone in the fandom knows this.
ReplyDeleteJust take a look-
ReplyDeleteDid U see his reaction at CC? I wanted to jump through my laptop and strangle him.
ReplyDeleteI mean Marc G isn't attached to the Flash, but he bends down and does what is best for his show. A crossover could certainly be benefitial for both shows and reconnect fans.
I hate when people are so egoistic, he should be happy to be able to write for characters like VD has.
The sixth Heretics name is Beau.
ReplyDeleteWe will be meeting Valerie, Malcolm, Nora, Mary Louise, and Beau in 7x01.
Julian will be met in another episode.
You could clearly see he couldn't care less about TVD characters,he just cares about the characters he created(or is it?) in TO.I just can't stand that guy-He's so full of himself.And we fans don't get any crossovers coz he doesn't like it.I say-Get over it bro! We all have a job to do whether we like it or not.
ReplyDeleteI hear U!
ReplyDeleteSo much wasted potential just cause he can't get over himself. I understand him being attached but his attitude is just way too much.
As U said I hope CW forces him into it and if he doesn't want to he knows where the exit is. #justsaying
LOL! Amen.
ReplyDeleteEven I appreciate Ur small gesture, I'm sure the whole fandom will as well. ^^
ReplyDeleteNp. It sure was.
ReplyDeleteWow! Like 6 and a half yrs too late. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll look at it. And I'm doing very well this hiatus. I tried a new method. And I've actually been really good since all the shows ended in May. I'm having more of a personal issue, rather than my media issues right now. Which iI just posted in the Open Discussion Thread, if you would be so kind to mosey on over there, so i can talk about, I'd really appreciate it. It's bugging me.
ReplyDeleteJust read the casylting/script snippets on the wikia. They are attached to each character page and they all sound so good or at least the 4 I've read.
ReplyDeleteValerie is dark, I like she has a diary nice backlash. But I would like for the episode to start with Caro, Bonnie, Stefan writing in their diaries. I like she is all dark and suicidle. Think she could bond well with Bonnie and please no humping with Enzo.
The couple plays each other very well. Of course there is a naughty one and a clam one. Killing the student was quite enjoyable as well.
Julian is devious they need to cast someone really charismatic and powerful, Nathan from OTH would be neat for the role.
Malcolm being Lily's pet brings me, Finn-Esther vibes. I hope they will make them different.
Beau/Oliver is a mystery but I like that. I assume he'll charm Caro a bit, the others don't seem compatible.
I moseyed on over and left you a suggestion.
ReplyDeleteFor w/e reason your comment isn't popping up in the thread. But I see it in my inbox.
ReplyDeleteAh, here's the comment. And "for the first time yourself?" You must've missed out on all the pictures and videos involving JP with him years ago. Anddd you actually got that backwards, (I know you were joking) in that picture, she's actually mauling him not the other way around. Lol If I remember correctly, he was a little uncomfortable in that moment. Lol I didn't blame him.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. I think they might be going with Lily/Enzo. I think this third woman will have a thing for Stefan in order to give Steroline some more drama.
ReplyDeleteI read the script of Season 7 premiere.It clearly indicates Val will fall for Enzo.
ReplyDeleteIf you read that bar scene with Enzo & Val,it's pretty evident she'll fall for him eventually.Whether he reciprocates or not,that remains to be seen.I agree with Julian.You need a powerful actor to pull off this role.
ReplyDeleteHahaha.It sure does!
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the scene when I saw Enzo was in it, just went back and read it. I hope he dies for her and leaves the show. So obnoxious.
ReplyDeletestill very happy with the additions. I'm anxious to see if some of the would have back story with Stefan or Damon. If Nina as still in one would probably share history with Katerina.
Enzo isn't going anywhere.Both Carline Dries & Julie love him.
ReplyDeleteThose wannabe sugar mom/milfs. -.-
ReplyDeleteI just hope they give him a proper story and not an endless lovesyory to follow. Just keep him tolerable.
I might be totally biased here but whatever scoop i've heard up until now point toward correcting that character's flaws till date.Malarkey have confirmed Enzo is not in love with Caroline so you can rule out any melodrama in that department instead he said we will see them as close friends in crazy situations which i personally prefer.As for Lily arc,i think everyone is predicting he'll hook up with her,i think just the opposite.She'll be a mother figure to him since he has been searching for a family for a long time-Severe abandonment issues and all.He'll be playing guitar this season which kinda utilizes Malarkey's singing skill.Denzo scenes will be much more frequent thanks to last years fault.So,all in all,i say he has quite a lot on his plate this year.
ReplyDeleteI liked his introduction in S05, found him intriguing and intense. He had a different dynamic, Damon like but with a "British" edge. Everything went downhill when Stefan killed him the first time and he got stuck on the other side.
ReplyDeleteI liked his interaction with Caroline, I mean she is that girl U want to find yourself in love with but he isn't the one to pine over someone. Way too confident in his charm to pine over a girl, cause he'll fin an other one. I liked their friendly I'm going to kill U interactions they played nicely together, hope there will be more of it .
Him and Lily are mother and son and anything else would be just sickish. I mean honestly, that would be way too much.
Now I really hope they'll fix him up this season, but they have to refuce the bratty scenes a bit and return him the cool attitude he lost somewhere along the way. He wasn't like that in the begginig and it doesn't suit him. Also that Stefan alike hair cut, please get rid of it.
Paul looks like he is over the show simce they ended his ripper story in S03. He came a bit back with Ahole Silas, but Julie took that quickly away from him/us.
ReplyDeleteHe is always behaving so douchy and bitchy, I really can't tell what he wants. He could've left the show like Nina did I don't know why he didn't I was surprised to find out Nina was the one leaving after all the rumors. But again he was okay in the CC interviews, when the focus was on him he was happy and enjoyed it. Probably just case of resenting Attention W, pretending to be an artistic soul and so over all of this.
Stefan honestly needs to grow a pair. Seriously big ones. Him now pining over Caroline is just *roll eyes*
I love Steroline but come one let them be or don't they are teasing it too long.
I mostly started watching VD cause I knew Paul from Fallen and Everwood. Stefan finally got some great moments with taking care of C and than crawled back into his shell again at the end of the season with being the perfect boy again. I wanted to scream "Whore around! Make her see what she is loosing." How long will he bend his life to make other people feel good! I hope he knows one of the Heretic Girls and they get him involved in some story.
"He is always behaving so douchy and bitchy, I really can't tell what he wants".-AMEN!
ReplyDeleteHe is that guy. I think he is really selfconfident and knows that he can say anything cause of his smile and body no one takes serious the stuff that he says and it works for him. Truth to be told with that body I would be probably an Ahole as well. JK of course.
ReplyDeleteI really hope they edge the character out a bit and make him more interesting. Meanwhile Paul should work out and change his hair length, he looks bad a*s with short hair.
What's the point of workout if we never get to see him shirtless anyway.When asked,Paul clearly said in the panel that was so season 1.SMH.
ReplyDeleteI watch that and I assumed it was a summer show and he would direct during hiatus. But than he said after this season he would have 4 episodes under his belt so I assume he is doing 2 this year.
ReplyDeleteI loved how he directed 5x18 I believe it was, but 6x10 was plain okay. Not really wowed.
Ya,he's doing 2 this year.As for his previous outings,5.18 is listed as one of the worst episodes of all time of the series along with The Hybrid.I did like his next one a little bit more.Ian,one the other hand,completely surprised me.His directed episode was lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe topic and What if part of 5x18 were just terrible. And I'm saying that as a Stelena fan.
ReplyDeleteStill that opening scene, with Elena chasing that napkin and envountering Stefan was so :drull:
Ian had one of the best episodes of the season to direct so no wonder it turned out great. Still can't take away anything from his work.
That opening scene was seriously cringe worthy.What is this-Soap opera? Elena & Stefan trying to play house seemed fake and dull to me devoid of any chemistry whatsoever and i say that as a former Stelena fan.SMH.
ReplyDeleteI know, considering what a big TVD fan I am I tend miss things! It was an awkward kiss, wasn't it? Like not initiated by Ian, she just grabbed him. Why? Because she can.
ReplyDeleteOk, good.
ReplyDeleteYes. Exactly. Lol this whole thing. That's exactly it.
ReplyDeleteTeressa liane looks like a cross between Katie Cassidy and Clair Holt
