“Vampire Diaries'” Paul Wesley Answers Fan’s Questions

If you are like me, and you are totally enjoying The Vampire Diaries, but have never read the books, Paul Wesley helps us out by answering a few questions.

Vampire Diaries has soared to the number one position for the CW on Thursday nights, which, paired with Supernatural, has become the network’s treasure chest. Check out this recent press release from the CW:

October 9, 2009 (Burbank, CA) – THE VAMPIRE DIARIES surged to first place finishes in women 18-34 (tie), female teen and teens according to final live plus same day Nielsen ratings for Thursday, Oct. 8, 2009.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES soared to 108% year-to-year growth in The CW’s target demographic, women 18-34, with a 2.7/8, good for a first place tie in the time period against stellar competition. VAMPIRE also wooed more female teens than any other show on television last night with a 3.0/12, an absolutely batty 173% increase from the time period a year ago. The show also ranked first in its time period with total teens (2.1/8). Additionally TVD grew 27% year-to-year in adults 18-34 with a 1.9/6 and 69% in women 18-49 with a 2.2/6.

Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder in "The Vampire Diaries"

In tonight’s episode, Lost Girls, many more questions should be answered. Judging by the official synopsis, we will find out more about the brothers’ rivalry. I’d like to know who made them vampires and why both of them. Things are certainly getting interesting in Mystic Falls! (I keep wanting to call it “Mystic Pizza”.)
