The Vampire Diaries hunk, Ian Somerhalder has stated that although he loves playing the character of Damon Salvatore, sometimes his storylines are a case of ‘like or lump it’.

Speaking at The Vampire Diaries BloodyNightCon Three in Barcelona, the star said that sometimes he dislikes what he reads in the scripts, but he just has to get on with it. He even went on to say that he isn’t a “gigantic big shot” so there’s no room to argue with bosses over some storylines.

He said: “It is so much information for the writers to create all this content and the show is so well written but they are the writers and producers and our bosses and we don’t have to agree with them much and it’s a collaborative process so you are living the dream or the ideas of these other people that you don’t necessarily agree with.”

Somerhalder went on to add that five times out of ten, he isn’t happy with the script that is given out to him – but, that’s just his opinion and once it has been put together post-production and the story intertwines, it suddenly works out. Phew! Thank God there’s a happy ending…

“Unless you’re a gigantic big shot, you have to do it. About half the time, I’m not happy with what the story is, literally. But, having said that, that’s just me. When you look at the story as a whole with the episode pieced together, you realize ‘Oh wow, there’s some really good stuff’”.

Meanwhile, as we reported yesterday, when The Vampire Diaries returns in the fall, along with new spin-off show The Originals, Rebekah, Elijah and Klaus may be seen making the transition between both shows.

Speaking to TV Guide, Claire Holt who plays Rebekah said that showrunner, Julie Plec has left “the door open” as far as crossovers go.

She said: “Julie [Plec] has left the door open for us to have cross-overs and for each of the characters to swap between the shows.”

The Originals is set in New Orleans and will focus on three of the world’s original vampires – Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah.

Hayley will find herself pregnant with Klaus’ child and as a result, the vamp must go after her former friend, Marcel, who is now running New Orleans.

Game of Thrones fans, hold onto your hats for the remainder of this article – it might get you a tad excited.

GOT series producer, Frank Doelger has revealed that he thinks the HBO drama could run for seven seasons before coming to the end of its run. Coinciding with the way the series has run thus far in conjunction with the book timeline, it could very well be feasible that the show could run 4 more seasons.

You may be asking – wouldn’t it be silly to plan that far ahead? Well, yes and no. At present, viewing figures are very strong for Game of Thrones and it has a huge cult following, which most definitely isn’t going to fizzle out any time soon. Not to mention, after the third season of Lost, it was announced the drama would end after six runs.

Speaking to the Radio times, Doelger said: “[The number of seasons] is being discussed as we speak. The third season was the first half of book three, season four will be the second part of book three. George R.R. Martin has written books four and five; six and seven are pending.

“I would hope that, if we all survive, and if the audience stays with us we’ll probably get through seven seasons”.

But, there could also be the point that the remaining books may be too complex to span across one season each, resulting in them being split up – as Doelger stated, season four deals with the latter half of book three. Book four and five happen in the same period, but with different characters, which means with some work, they could be combined into one season.

Meanwhile, Game of Thrones is taking a week off and returns on June 2^nd when Jon and the Wildlings arrive at the wall and they’re gearing up to attack. Tormund tells Jon that killing crows is what they do.

Bran wants to meet Jon but he is worried that Castle Black is already under attack.

Arya didn’t exactly kill The Hound like we were expecting last week, but in the next episode things get a little more serious as the threatens to stab him in the eye.

Arya threatens: “I’m going to put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull!”

Daenerys is back again and she’s still trying to recruit more slaves as she plans how to take Yunkai. There’s a bit of tension between Jorah and Daario meanwhile, as Jorah suspects Daario of leading them to be slaughtered.

It has been teased that Sookie and Jason will find themselves new beau’s when True Blood returns next month.

According to Hollywood Hills, Jason is set to find himself stuck in a sticky, messy love triangle, getting himself into all sorts of trouble.

Sookie meanwhile is set to leave Bill and Eric alone as she apparently falls for a fairy. Jason on the other hand seems to be done with Jessica and since he hates vampires, it suggests he will wind up with a human.

However, it has been teased that Sookie will swoop in to save Nora from Jason and his weird ways. There’s set to be war between Vampires and Humans when the series returns next month due to shortages of Tru Blood, following on from the destruction of the factories – which is going to make Jason’s love life just that much harder if he ends up with a human girl.

In one promo video that has been released, it seems Jessica can’t come to terms with what is happening, admitting: “It feels like the world is spinning out of control! It’s just chaos”.

Sookie adds: “I can barely remember the last time when I wasn’t in danger!”

We also know that Sookie and the vamps are running scared in the opening of the new season.

It seems like everyone’s emotions are upside down, especially at the beginning of season six. In the promo, Pam cries: “There’s more of them than us, maybe we should be scared!”

A new promo poster has also been released, featuring the tag line “No One Lives Forever!”

Meanwhile, THR has gotten its hands on DVD extra footage from the upcoming season 5 DVD release of True blood. One of the features goes into detail about set design.

Suzuki Ingerslev, production designer came up with the ideas for the sets following a trip to a place called Sunken Palace, which subsequently served as the main inspiration for the Vampire Authority’s lair.

She said: “When I went to that space a long time ago, I said ‘Oh My God, this is the most amazing space I’ve ever seen. It’d be so great to film something in here’.”

She then went away to put elements of the design she had experienced into the set design, creating a vast space for the vampires.

The season five DVD hits shelves today.

True Blood season six returns to HBO on June 16^th.

In the final episode of the series, Caroline journeys to the New Forest. The park, which is between the counties of Hampshire and Wiltshire, was first discovered by William the Conqueror over 900 years ago. It’s best known for its ancient woods, open heaths, beautiful coastline and abundance of wild animals.

Caroline first enjoys a hot air balloon over the park and, despite her initial nerves, enjoys the unique view. She comments, “Whenever I see balloons I always think, I wonder what they’re thinking those people, are they looking at what I’m doing in my garden and things like that? And the answer is, yes, that’s exactly what you’re doing.”

Some of the park’s most famous residents are the New Forest ponies, which are born in the wild and are often completely untamed, even though they all have owners. Caroline meets Rob Maton, whose job it is to look after the animals in the forest. He has been asked to help catch a four month year old foal and its mother, in order to tame it to be sold as a riding pony. Owner Lucinda gallops alongside the pony to tire it out before leading it towards a pen. Caroline and Rob wait at the pen, ready to stand their ground and holler at the wild ponies to prevent them escaping.

The new forest is also home to one of the UK’s best-known country fayres – The Romsey Agricultural Show. The show started over 170 years ago and today showcases the very best of British farming. With over 90 food stalls competing for best produce, Caroline is keen to sample as much as possible including artisan chocolate and country fudge. She later presents the winning Best Local Food Stall before attending the much-loved dog show.

Caroline then meets Jo Hedger who is not only a tree surgeon, but also travels the country competing in tree climbing tournaments. Caroline agrees to take on two time world champion Jo and is up for the challenge telling us, ““I was rubbish at climbing trees when I was a little girl and I have absolutely no reason to believe I’ll be any better at it now I’m a middle-aged woman, but I’m prepared to give it a go.” However, halfway up the tree Caroline starts to feel a bit shaky and peculiar and admits defeat.

In the heart of the park is the Pig Hotel and Restaurant which was once a Royal hunting lodge. Forager Gary Evely”s job is to gather the food that grows wild in the forest in order for it to be served in the restaurant just a few hours later. Despite their being over 3,000 varieties of mushroom growing in the forest, only 20 are of interest to Gary. Caroline admits, “there’s something almost meditative about being out here in the woods and looking for mushrooms, concentrating so hard on the ground and looking for shapes and colours, it’s incredibly relaxing.” After her hard work Caroline joins the head chef to cook the mushrooms she found, along with a restaurant speciality of venison, in a wood oven.

Caroline then meets Marcus Webster who has been paragliding on the New Forest coastline for more than eight years, taking to the skies with his dog William. Finally, Caroline heads to the New Forest pony auction where all of the ponies sold in traditional guineas rather than pounds. At the auction, Lucinda’s pony is up for sale however it remains to be seen whether he’ll make his reserve.

Caroline Quentin’s National Parks concludes tonight on ITV at 8pm

As we previously reported, Lynsey Nolan is due to make a Hollyoaks comeback, and according to Karen Hassan, the actress who plays her, she is definitely out for revenge on Dr Browning!

Fans of the award-winning show will know how Karen’s character, Lynsey Nolan, was killed last year in one of the most exciting, best kept secret murders of all time.

Unbeknown to ANYONE, Karen had quit her role on the show, with the writers deciding to kill her character off in the surprise who-dunnit.

The storyline had us all guessing for weeks before it was finally revealed that her killer was none other than her boss, Dr Browning (Joseph Thompson).

Dr Browning was charged with the murder and sent to prison, but because of the cunning work of his barrister, Jim McGinn (Dan Tetsell), he was later released with the charges dropped after a loophole was found in the character reference of Lynsey’s ex, Riley Costello (Rob Norbury) in the separate trial for Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe).

However, it seems that whilst the rest of the village have forgotten what Dr Browning did and have moved on, he hasn’t!

Despite picking up his life where he left off, Dr Browning is still harbouring a deep sense of guilt over the murder, which is due to become apparent when Mercedes plans their wedding for the one year anniversary of Lynsey’s murder.

Whilst exact details of Lynsey’s return are still unknown, Karen Hassan has revealed a few bits of gossip to Digital Spy, in particular that Lynsey is set to ‘haunt’ Dr Browning!

She teased: “I’m definitely out to get him! It may not only be me that’s playing tricks on him, though. He’s going to get it from all sides, I think.”

Lindsey Butterfield

The actress, who is currently starring alongside her former Hollyoaks family Bronagh Waugh and Emmett J Scanlan in the new BBC2 thriller, The Fall, also revealed that new Hollyoaks character, nurse Lindsey Butterfield (Sophie Austin) will play a big part in the upcoming storyline.

A Hollyoaks source told Digital Spy when Lynsey’s return was revealed: “Lynsey was one of our most popular characters, so it’s been great to have Karen back on set again.

“The producers are keeping tight-lipped about the exact reasons for her return, but with the first anniversary of Lynsey’s death approaching, it’s very likely that Browning will be involved.”

After what could have been a complete disaster for Doctor Who producers when a US shipment of series 7 boxsets, including the series 7 finale, was accidentally delivered to a handful of fans weeks before schedule, and two weeks before the final had even aired on TV.

Desperate to keep the details of the series finale quiet, including the hint that the Doctor’s biggest secret would be revealed, show runner Steven Moffat literally begged those lucky enough (or unlucky enough, depending on which way you look at it), to keep schtum, even promising rewards if the ‘secret’ was kept out of the media.

Doctor Who brand manager Edward Russell took to social networking site, Twitter, after the mistake was realised to tweet fans:.

‘Production error in US means DW bluray shipped early,’ .

‘Let’s hope no one spoils it for those who want to enjoy it together on Sat. Please RT.’

Whilst the official Doctor Who Twitter account tweeted: ‘Some US DVDs of this series have gone out early. The #DoctorWho team would be hugely grateful if fans helped keep spoilers off the net.

‘Steven Moffat has promised if fans help keep the finale’s secrets, we’ll release a special video featuring Matt & David right after the ep!’

And it seems that his pleas worked as the episode went out last Saturday, as planned, without the ‘secret’ being published anywhere, and Steven Moffat has said that he is humbled by his fan’s loyalty and Dunkirk spirit.

And to show just how much he appreciates his fans discretion, he has released this following message to them:

“Never mind us blundering fools, check out the fans. 210 of them, with the top secret episode in their grasp – and because we asked nicely, they didn’t breathe a word. Not one,

“Even Doctor Who websites have been closing their comments sections, just in case anyone blurts. I’m gobsmacked. I’m impressed. Actually, I’m humbled. And we are all very grateful.”
