Russian model-turned-actress Olga Fonda is joining the Season 5 cast as the fearless, worldly, guarded and vengeance-seeking Nadia, TVLine has learned.
The character, who will be introduced in the Oct. 10 premiere, “will ally herself with anybody — and employ any tactic — to further her own mysterious agenda,” read the initial casting breakdown. “An emotional chameleon, she can flip from stone-cold to flirtatious as it suits her needs. But the loneliness of her singular quest has taken its toll on her humanity, and she finds herself increasingly lost when it comes to genuine human connection.”

- Ugh. The description of "Nadia" reads like an exact replica of Katherine. TVD doesn't need two of the same character.
ReplyDelete- I've no significant thoughts on Jesse since he seems like cannon fodder from the get-go.
Wait they are going through with this whole college thing? How can Elena afford college?
ReplyDelete"How did Elena get into college?"
ReplyDeleteProbably though compulsion, as Caroline suggested.
Jesse=Riley to that new professor's Prof Walsh
ReplyDeleteWhy does Caroline need yet another love interest? What about Tyler? That's still sort of in limbo and Caroline kept referring to him as her boyfriend even once he was gone at the end of the season. She really does just need to be single for a while.
ReplyDeleteYou literally took the words right out of my mouth. Let's hope Nadia isn't Katherine 2.0.
ReplyDeleteits good to see the writers coming up with some original ideas.
ReplyDeleteTrue! Not sure how they will do this whole college thing, I hope it isn't cheesy. Maybe they will take the Gossip Girl route and somehow everyone just forgets they have school or drops out.
ReplyDeleteYeah I kind of agree, especially since the actress looks a lot like Nina Dobrev. But Katherine is more about self preservation and saving her own skin rather than vengeance.
