TV SERIES NEWS 10-18 VAMP DIARIES SUPPORTING CAST, SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL AND SCREAM AWARDS

‘Diaries’ exec developing supporting cast

In an interview with Jim Halterman, Kevin Williamson explained that he is pleased with the way Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) have developed this season.

“[With] Candice, I just kind of knew that this girl had it,” he said. “I just knew if I could get to a second season that she would blow up. I knew I wanted to go this route with her. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to pull it off or that the network would support it, but I wanted to turn her into a vampire.”

He continued: “I knew it would open up the supporting character world and the dynamics. If you noticed last year, if you weren’t in the know about the vampires you kind of got side-barred a little in terms of storyline so I needed the story to involve our secondary characters – by that I mean not our triangle – like Tyler. I knew Trevino and Candice would get a lot of focus this year.”

The CW’s Smallville & Supernatural Pulling in Great Ratings on Fridays

Supernatural fans are nothing if not loyal, and the show is actually doing very well on Friday nights. So well in fact that, when paired with Smallville’s 200th episode this past Friday on October 18, the CW network actually beat Fox to become the fourth place network for the night (instead of placing fifth as it normally does). It also won the 8:00 p.m. hour in the 8-49 demographic with Smallville.

Smallville‘s 200th episode pulled in 3.18 million viewers (meaning The CW finished in third place at 8:00 p.m.), and pulled in more viewers than a Fox House repeat and the NBC premiere of School Pride. The terrific lead-in of Smallville meant that Supernatural ended up with 2.81 million viewers (600,000 more viewers than last week) and won the fourth place spot for the hour, beating out NBC.

I like the direction Vampire Diaries has taken this season. I’m enjoying the development of the supporting cast. I think it allows you to get more attached to the other characters. What do you think?

I was hoping Lost would get some awards for their last season. I’m kind of disappointed about it!
