Candice Accola Heats Up "The Vampire Diaries"

"The Vampire Diaries'" Caroline Forbes is blonde, beautiful and a hoot to watch as she navigates through teen life as a newly turned bloodsucker.
Candice Accola, who plays the undead beauty queen, explains it all for us.
Why is Caroline more likable as a vampire?
Caroline started out as a narcissistic, queen-bee bitch. What's so much fun is that in vampire form, she's trying to figure it all out. If she gives in to her own selfish needs as a vampire, people die.
Sort of a vamp coming-of-age story?
[Laughs] She's grown up a lot since she's been undead. It's exciting to hear girls say, "I love that Caroline's kicking butt now!"
What's the hottest thing about playing a vampire?
There are no restraints. It's all about the insatiable hunger — whether it be for blood, revenge or sex.
It's given Caroline more confidence.
She has a new edge — more sass.
Before, it was "You can look, but you can't touch. Though maybe...." Now, it's "You can look, but if you touch, I'm gonna kick your ass!"
Why do you think "Vampire" rocks the ratings?
It's sexy and romantic, dark and edgy, but it can also be funny.
And it's relatable to kids who have trouble talking to their moms or who are in a relationship that's being torn apart.
