‘Supernatural’ and ‘Vampire Diaries’ Spring Back Into Action
At Last!
Thought it would never happen. After a grueling, seemingly never-ending six-week hiatus, The CW’s chilling Thursday-night lineup comprised of hit newbie The Vampire Diaries and fan-favorite veteran Supernatural finally returns with fresh episodes tonight, March 25.
Former The O.C. regular Melinda Clarke guest stars on the “A Few Good Men” episode of The Vampire Diaries at 8pm ET. She plays Matt’s long-absent mother Kelly, who suddenly shows up in town without warning. As Clarke fans know, the actress always aces her featured appearances on television shows, such as Ghost Whisperer and CSI, so there’s no doubt her latest role is going to help Diaries kick it up another notch during the series’ return.
Supernatural might not have any immediately recognizable guest stars for its Jim Beaver-centric, Zombie-fied “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” episode at 9pm, but Canadian actress Carrie Anne Fleming (Alice, The L Word) does return to the show to play Bobby’s (Beaver) dead wife Karen. Fans with really good memories may recall Fleming also appeared in the Season Two premiere “In My Time of Dying” four years ago, where she played a nurse.
