Previously, I spoke of news of a new Gilbert coming to town named Samantha.
Samantha Gilbert has been cast. Lyndsey R Garrett has been cast to play the role.
Samantha, in her 20s, is described as a bit of a gossip, but don't expect her to cross paths with Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) anytime soon.
She'll appear only during flashbacks in the episode titled "1912," airing at the end of February, as one of the town's founding family members who interacts with both Salvatore brothers.
Please leave your thoughts and theories in the comments!
