Casting News for The Vampire Diaries Season 5Some early casting news for Season 5 of “The Vampire Diaries” has come our way in the form of a new potential suitor for Caroline along with a mysterious beauty who may cause trouble for Matt and Rebekkah.

Per TV Guide, Kendrick Sampson (“Greek”) and Olga Fonda (“HIMYM,” “Nikita”) (both pictured below) have been tapped to recur on the upcoming season, which kicks off Thursday, October 10th.

Sampson will play Jesse, a fellow student whom Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Carolina (Candice Accola) meet at Whitmore College and who catches Caroline’s eye. Meanwhile, Russian-born Fonda will play a mysterious European beauty who follows Rebekah (Claire Holt) and Matt (Zach Roerig) back to Mystic Falls. Both characters will first appear in the season premiere.

Look for lots more “TVD” info soon coming out of next week’s San Diego Comic-Con. Their panel takes place on July 20th:
