Here’s proof that the TV biz hasn’t completely closed up shop for the holidays: L Word and 24 alum Mia Kirshner has just inked a deal to join the cast of The Vampire Diairies on a recurring basis, sources confirm to me exclusively.
Kirshner will be playing the role of Isobel, the sweet-yet-dangerous wife of Matt Davis’ history teacher, Alaric.
The actress will make her debut in the Jan. 21 episode, which, come to think of it, has already been shot. How will VD boss Kevin Williamson pull that one off? “Ever hear of an 11th hour reshoot,” sniffs an insider. “That’s what they’re doing.” There’s no reason to be nasty about it.

Hopefully this character won’t be as annoying as Jenny was.
No kidding. Jenny was such a slimy character, but I think Mia is a great actress. I can’t deny that I got a little giddy knowing that someone from the L Word would be on a show that I currently watch.
Are you guys talking about Jenna? If not, who was Jenny? I do find Jenna’s character incredibly annoying.
I agree totally – Mia Kirshner is a great actress – it was because she did such a good job that Jenny was so horrible (ugh Jenny). I’ve read that Mia Kirshner didn’t like what happend with Jenny in the last season of the L Word and I try not to hold her responsible for the worst last season of any good show ever.
Jenny was the actress’s character on the L Word.
BBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I’d hit it.
Noooooo! I love Vampire Diaries but I cannot stand Mia Kirshner! Ugh!
i’ll second that emotion
I heard that she’s quite a handful to work with on the L-Word set. Good luck to Vampire Diaries.
Oh pleeease…spare us this nonsense, kidlettes. Mia Kirshner is a great actress and quite gorgeous besides. As for simsian, you must be high – no one’s ever said anything that positive things about how great MK is to work with. I’d take anything said by drama queen Karina Lombard with a huge grain of salt, since she has earned a rep for being a b*@ch on virtually every set she’s ever worked on.
ohkay no im sorry but your opinion is weak. dont diss on mia like tht. is it just because she plays a crazyy chicc in the l word?
er juss becuz you cant have itt?
mia is a great actress,pitty you are so self-absorbed that you can’t see that!
I think the VD has the most gorgeous cast ever! Mia is there to reinforce my point.
Best news ever . I love VD and I love Mia Kirshner…!
Haha you love VD
good news, but i want her back on 24 too!!!!!
@ Justin. hahahahaha!!!! omg. its a show we cant shorten to just letters!
Actually, people have shortened it by adding the T- so TVD. Which doesn’t completely wash away the VD aspect of it all, but then…
I hated Jenny. I hope this character is better!
Noooo, I was so happy when Jenny finally died! I wish it was one of the other girls
to Eric: grow up
But when will she return to 24 dammit
Heck yeah. I loved Mandy, and will forever think of her as Mandy.
Yep. She is Mandy, forever and always.
This is awesome news! I absolutely love both Mia Kirshner and The Vampire Diaries so this news makes me very, very, very happy. I thought that she was amazing on The L Word, and I’ve missed not having her on my TV screen every week since The L Word ended.
yeahh i loved herr to
but do you knw if er when the l word movie is coming out? er do you know who killed jenny?
Great news that MK is on TVD – love her! Do we know if she’s going to be a vamp? Here’s hoping she’ll get some great scenes as a sweet but badass vampy character.:)
I love Jenny and would love a bite of Mia’s new part, Isobel.
LOVE IT!!!
…such a great actress!
Can we start calling it “TVD” because “VD” means something very different.
11th-hour re-shoot?
Does that mean somebody else was cast and then they reshoot it?
TVD has done that before with Bianca Lawson and Jasmine Burke playing Emily the Handmaiden Witch.
Its getting rid of her voice that is going to be hard not to be stereotyped as awful Jenny!
maybe you’ll be shocked,but i loved jenny.i understood her, she went through a lot for one person.she wasn’t the only person with flaws,all had of those.the only problem was that the writers wrote her off.wanted to make her a bad ass character,they needed one for the show not to be boring with all those love scenes. well,tx to mia it wasn’t. she was the best.and jennifer beals.they made the show!
Great news but the question remains : Is she coming back on 24 season 8 ? the producer had said she might be returning during the summer and we received no news since then
I REALLY hope she does, it would be really poetic if she is the first and last villain of the show
I totally agree with you! I love Mandy! Her appearances are always so cool. In the meantime, I’ll have to start watching The Vampire Diaries because I adore Mia Kirshner.
