New 'Vampire Diaries' episode stills from the season 3 premiere 'The Birthday'

August 23, 2011 - The first group of stills from The Vampire Diaries for the season premiere, The Birthday, were released on Monday by the CW.

The new stills offer a deeper look into the premiere episode of season 3, giving some hints as to what will be happening when TVD returns this fall.

Hilarious 'Vampire Diaries' season 2 gag reel released

As we had already seen in an earlier released still, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) will be having a meeting with werewolf Ray Sutton (guest star David Gallagher) in a bar, where they probably are conspiring for something.

One of the new stills in the same bar, features Klaus sitting by himself with his feet up as he stares off deviously. Then, another bar scene, shows Klaus as he points at Ray's chest in a threatening way.

The rest of the stills are all from Elena's (Nina Dobrev) birthday party at the Salvatore mansion. The first, features Matt (Zach Roerig) and a sad looking Caroline (Candice Accola), followed by another of Caroline talking to Tyler (Michael Trevino) at the party as well.

There is also another photo of Tyler and Caroline talking, that seems to be from before the party, as Caroline looks to be getting things ready.

Other stills from the party include one of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) as he sits drinking by himself on a wall, most likely thinking about Stefan and his turn to the dark side with Klaus. Another still shows Alaric (Matt Davis) joining Damon on the wall as they talk.

These two images lead to the previously released still, which features Elena talking to Damon and Alaric by the wall.

August 18, 2011 - When more spoilers on The Vampire Diaries season 3 are revealed, we discover that Caroline (Candice Accola) will become jealous of Tyler's (Michael Trevino) new girl, and will be targeted by someone she trusts.

'The Vampire Diaries' season 3 new spoilers: Stefan is a 'freaking nut-bag'

E! News' Kristin Dos Santos has been on a roll with TVD spoilers this week, and now she tells us that on the premiere episode of season 3, Caroline will become very jealous when she sees Tyler dancing with a new girl at Elena's (Nina Dobrev) birthday bash.

As we now know, the first episode will feature Elena's 18th birthday and, as was earlier reported, Tyler shows up to the bash with a new girlfriend. This new character is Sofie, played by Lilly Roberson, and apparently, when Caroline sees her at the party with Tyler she is none too happy - at all!

'Vampire Diaries' star Ian Somerhalder on Damon in season 3: He's the anti-hero

This could explain her eagerness at jumping on Tyler in her underwear while he lays in bed (shirtless!) on the preview trailer... (which you can view here.)

But, making their relationship a true Romeo and Juliet tale, Caroline will be targeted when someone we all know and trust (mostly) aims to hurt her. Could Tyler's mom be after our favorite blonde vamp to keep her away from her werewolf son?

'Vampire Diaries' star Ian Somerhalder on Damon in season 3: He's the anti-hero

Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries recently gave some new dish on season 3 and revealed that his character, Damon, is going be the anti-hero.

Speaking to Zap2It about what's in store for the new season, Ian spilled some scoop on what will be happening with Damon, now that his brother Stefan (Paul Wesley) has gone to the dark side.

Brand new 'Vampire Diaries' season 3 promo trailer

"I was worried that Damon was becoming this hero, and [exec producer] Kevin [Williamson] said 'No, he's not the hero. He needs to be, but he's the anti-hero, because he's supposed to be not hurting people, but that's not his nature.'" Ian told Zap2It, "So he slips, and his response is 'Screw this.'"

Then, Ian added that this dynamic is what's going to make things interesting this season, "interesting for me as an actor and interesting for Damon as a character. I don't want to lose that quote-unquote 'bad' side of Damon.

Ian also spoke about Damon's anger at Stefan for going on a ripper rampage with Klaus (Joseph Morgan), which is what he wanted to do with his brother ever since he first came to Mystic Falls. He always wanted to go be 'bad vampires' with Stefan, but he denied him this. Now he's doing just that, but with a vampire who almost killed everyone they care about.

Teasing season 3 even more, Ian recently also talked about how his relationship with Elena (Nina Dobrev) is going to evolve. While it has been reported by exec producers Kevin and Julie Plec that there won't be any crazy love connections with Damon and Elena, the two will become closer friends and aware of their growing attraction to one another.

We'll see some evidence of this right away, when Elena celebrates her 18th birthday and Damon gives her a special and meaningful present.

"...he came across something that she really, really, really wanted and needed, and he did what he had to do to get it for her." Damon told Zap2It, "She thinks that he stole it, or that he found it. It's a very beautiful moment between them. It's a really sweet, quiet moment."

Meanwhile, Nina also had something to say about the gift when she spoke to ThinkHeroTV.

Title of first 'Vampire Diaries' season 3 episode revealed along with new still

"He gives her something that is very important to her, very meaningful to her and you wouldn't think so," Nina revealed, "you wouldn't think that Damon would do this by giving her what he's going to give her, it's a token of trust in many ways."

Released: 'Vampire Diaries' episode stills for 'The House Guest' on the CW

February 15, 2011 - New episode stills have been released for The Vampire Diaries episode 216, The House Guest.

This episode will air on February 24 and will be the last one before the show goes into its spring hiatus for a month and a half.

The stills show what appears to be a heated conversation between Jenna (Sarah Canning) and Alaric (Matt Davis), which most likely is due to Jenna starting to get suspicious of Alaric's secret activities into the supernatural world. Is Elena's (Nina Dobrev) aunt going to be finding out about vampires soon?
