MTV is citing a report by Fancast that CW’s The Vampire Diaries is adding yet another (a couple of days ago it was announced that Sean Faris was in) cast member/guest appearance to the show this week. Gina Torres – of sweet Firefly fame – will be appearing as “Bree”, someone from Damon’s (Ian Somerhalder) past.
She will also be a witch. If the report is accurate about the 10th episode, it is “Turning Point” (which airs November 19th). Here is the synopsis:
After reading the journal left by one of the Gilbert ancestors, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is inspired to return to his hobby of sketching fantasy creatures, a talent he had abandoned when his parents died. Much to the surprise of their friends, Matt (Zach Roerig) and Caroline (Candice Accola) continue to hang out together. When Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) tells Damon (Ian Somerhalder) there has been another attack, he offers to track down the killer and learns a startling piece of information about the town’s founding families. Alaric (guest star Matt Davis) steps in to help during an awkward scene with Jeremy, Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Mayor Lockwood (guest star Rob Pralgo). Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) come to a new understanding, but everything changes when Elena accidentally makes a devastating discovery.
This report follows a statement by show creator/producer Kevin Williamson openly admitting E! that he was courting Taylor Swift for an appearance.
In August we also reported that Gina Torres would appear in CW’s Gossip Girl. Make sure you check out Elena’s continuing coverage/reviews of the season! The Vampire Diaries airs on Thursdays at 8pm. It stars Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder.
Surely it’ll be exciting and she seems to deserve it though.
