In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands Friday, we speak to the women behind the shows we love, and that includes The Vampire Diaries’ exec producer Julie Plec, who weaves an epic tale of vampire romance — and loneliness — with twists that make us gasp, swoon, and sob. Here, Plec, 40, shares how she went from TV fan to showrunner, where she gets her inspiration, who is her secret weapon, what she and Kevin Williamson were doing when they “met and fell in love,” and when they decided how Tvd would ultimately end.

ABC Family has picked up 10 more one-hour episodes of its original series Kyle XY, bringing the total to 23 for its sophomore season.
"We have been delighted with the new episodes, and we're thrilled to be able to extend Season 2," ABC Family president Paul Lee said. " 'Kyle XY' is the highest-rated show ever on ABC Family; it is truly the show that has defined this network."
Kyle, which airs at 8 p.m. Monday, chronicles the experiences of a mysterious teenager (Matt Dallas) with no history or memory. Marguerite MacIntyre, Bruce Thomas and April Matson also star. The second season, produced by ABC Studios, will introduce some of the truth about Kyle's past and his remarkable abilities. The new episodes are set to air early next year.
Kyle XY was created by Eric Bress and J. Mackeye Gruber (Butterfly Effect, Final Destination 2) and is executive produced by Chris Bender, J.C. Spink, Eric Tuchman and David Himelfarb.
