"Vampire Diaries" fans, if you thought Katherine was ten kinds of trouble, get ready to meet Rebecca -- AKA Bex, a beautiful vampire who had the pleasure of Stefan's company back in the early days when he was feasting on human blood.
Fans have been curious about this new development for weeks, and now Zap2it can exclusively confirm that Australian actress Claire Holt has been cast as the former object of Stefan's affection.
Holt can currently be seen on ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars" as Samara, Emily's new girlfriend (though we don't think those two have updated their Facebook statuses quite yet), and is known to Australian audiences for her work as Emma on "H20: Just Add Water." A few of you may recognize her from "Mean Girls 2," in which she played the not-particularly-bright Chastity, one of the Plastics.
She caught the eye of "Vampire Diaries" executive producer Kevin Williamson while he was casting for his new series, "The Secret Circle."
On "The Vampire Diaries," we'll first meet Bex in flashbacks. She's not going to be just a memory for long, though -- she's never quite moved on from Stefan, and you may be particularly surprised to find out what brings her back into his life.
We doubt she'll have any success if she's looking to hook Stefan romantically. As Paul Wesley told us this weekend, "Stefan isn't thinking about other women in the least bit. He's completely in love with Elena and he's doing this whole thing for Elena."

Oooooh. So that's who's going to stalk Caroline. Hmm....my money's still on Vampire Barbie.
ReplyDeleteShe is ok on PLL... not exactly a role to show how good an actor she is or isn't though. I haven't seen anything else she's done.
ReplyDeleteJilted lover ain't gonna get her nowhere sorry bex hunnie but you haven't met the scooby gang. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd her H2O costar Phoebe Tonkin has a main role in TVDs new companion show, Secret Circle.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about her character though, sounds quite similar to Lexi who the fans really liked so i'm reserving judgement for now. Just want to see the new season already!
Anyone know how many episodes she's in? I can't recall seeing it mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI call foul on the use of Scooby gang to mean anything other than Buffy's friends/family. :-P
ReplyDeletethanks :)
ReplyDeletemine too
ReplyDeletei'll have to see first before i decide whether or not i like her
ReplyDeleteI think good old Paul's a little confused. Last I checked, Stefan did what he did for his brother, not for his girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Stefan's new badass side bumps him up from wet fish stick to, well, badass. I'm all for that.
I don't like her at first sight o.O
ReplyDeleteI don't reallly know if I like her. I'm quite sure, though tht I won't like her character. So she's ok, I guess.
ReplyDeleteugh, the new Katherine... how many more women will come to MF because of their love for Stefan?
ReplyDeleteI'm indifferent mostly because I'm not familiar with her. VD casting usually does a good job so I'm sure she'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.
ReplyDeleteWasn't me who started it. :p a lot of fans where using it by the time I joined up.
ReplyDeletePlus it falls off the tongue easier than "The little group of teenagers and vampires that could". :P
ReplyDeleteToo many love triangles featuring many of the same people can be quite annoying. I suppose if Katherine isn't around for the Becky arc that'll be okay. But Stefan-Elena-Damon AND Elena-Stefan-Katherine AND Elena-Stefan-Becky would be a mess.
ReplyDeleteWhat was most important to me from this little piece of information was the last bit with Paul saying that Stefan's thinking about no one but Elena ...
ReplyDeleteShe seems to fit, though. I can very well picture her on the show with the others. Just not quite as a high school girl. But well. We'll see. (I know, I know, it's all about the make-up ...)
yeah..exactly. :)
ReplyDeleteStefan's a Gary Stu; this kind of thing is to be expected, sadly.
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent episode show! It's very exciting series mate. I enjoyed this very interesting. Thans for the brilliant part of The Vampire Diary series. Thanks!
