'The Vampire Diaries': Lilly Roberson cast as Tyler's latest love interest

tvd-sofie-tyler-caroline.jpgWhen "The Vampire Diaries" returns on September 15, it's Elena's 18th birthday... and we're sure that her birthday party won't end without some serious supernatural hijinks. From the looks of it, though, it seems there will be a healthy dose of good old fashioned teenage angst as well.

Though it's been reported that Atlanta actress Lilly Roberson was cast as Becky, a former flame of Stefan's, sources confirm to Zap2it that Becky is still in the casting stages. Roberson, who previously had a guest role on "Without a Trace," is actually playing Sofie, Tyler's (Michael Trevino) date to the birthday bash.

Don't worry, though. This new love interest isn't likely to make quite the lasting impression on our favorite werewolf that Caroline (Candice Accola) did. While Tyler and Caroline are currently in the friend zone, the potential romance that was built up in Season 2 is definitely going to surface again as they battle with the fact that they're members of two warring species.

As much as I don't want Tyler and Caroline to start a romantic relationship - I just don't want nearly every relationship in TVD to be romantic when a friendship is just as nice and refreashing, espcially with these two - I do not want yet another love triangle. They are seriously getting overused.

Typical. TVD couldn't avoid the whole Gossip Girl/90210 teen plots crap. Disappointing.

Boring. -.-

Amy- I hope you realize you are in the small minority. If you want friendship only, stick with Stefan/Caroline. Tyler/Caroline are star-crossed. It's inevitable, despite this show's ridiculous teen plots.

What is this Fuckery? Bring back BAMF Caroline and stop with the lame triangles. Team Stefan/Caroline. They have way more chemistry then Tyler/Caroline. :D

LAME!!! This show dosen't even feel like a vampire show anymore. I just can't be bothered with season three!!!

So far all the news about season three has been dissapointing and makes me not give two ***** about it!

I want to see Caroline back to being a kickass vampire and not pining after two douchebags. Also we need more Elijah. :D

I am not impressed with these Gossip Girl like storylines. Leave Tyler/Caroline alone! Dont bring another party into their relationship. Seriously! Matt is bound to pop up again some point in time and I think he's enough to deal with! Enough with the love triangles!!
