The CW today revealed that the season finales of The Vampire Diaries and Secret Circle will air on Thursday, May 10.

Sadly, The Vampire Diaries doesn’t return until March 15, but we SHOULD be thankful that The CW has given us a new extended promo trailer for the episode, which is titled “1912.”

Smallville’s “Tess Mercer,” Cassidy Freeman, guest stars as a new character named Sage.

We just got back from an advance screening of Thursday night’s Vampire Diaries episode “Dangerous Liaisons” (read 10 teases here) and we also attended a Q&A with Vampire Diaries executive producer Julie Plec.

Details from the rest of the Q&A can now be found on our general TV news site KSiteTV momentarily, but for VampireSite.net visitors, here’s what Julie had to say about the upcoming guest role portrayed by Smallville fan favorite Cassidy Freeman, and more details about what to expect in her first episode.

“I haven’t seen it. I’ve only heard that she’s awesome,” Julie says about Cassidy’s TVD premiere. “Cassidy Freeman’s character is a vampire that we’ll meet in our 16th episode, which is the first episode in March [once we're back]. The episode is called ’1912,’ and it is a time about a hundred years ago that I like to call as when Damon was still the Damon that walked out the door in a huff of disappointment and piousness, when his brother was out of control in 1864, and somewhere between 1864 and the pilot episode, Damon became the Damon that we know and love, and this episode kind of gives us a little glimpse into that, and what this character Sage, played by Cassidy, had to do with it, she teases.

“She’s ballsy, and sexy, and dynamic. It’s a fun character,” Julie adds. When asked if Sage will be showing up in the present day, she wasn’t able to hide her answer, saying “yes” to everyone in attendance.

Julie also told us more about the episode Cassidy premieres in, which, as mentioned above, is called “1912.” First, she was asked if the episode will explore some history between Damon and Original family member Kol as hinted in “Dangerous Liaisons.”

“When we did this episode, that was our intention, to have them cross in a very sort of fun ‘wait, who was that guy?’ kind of moment, but the story went in a different direction,” Julie says. “But yeah. We had a whole great Damon-Kol bar night out, brawl kind of drunk, don’t remember any of you, but in our drunk night brotherhood, we had a moment, but we didn’t end up going down that road.” When asked if the recent popular PBS series Downton Abbey was an inspiration, Julie confirmed that she had been watching. “You know, it’s funny. When we were trying to pick the era for when we wanted this flashback, I had just been watching Downton Abbey Seasons 1 and 2 in this obsessive marathon, and I thought ‘well, everybody looked so good in 1912. Dresses are so pretty! Men are so handsome’!”

Cassidy Freeman’s episode “1912″ airs in March, but until then, don’t forget that we have some new TVD before then, including “Dangerous Liaisons” on Thursday night! Thanks for reading! And if you’d like to read the rest of what Julie had to say, come by KSiteTV!
