Vampire Diaries costars Arielle Kebbel and Zach Roerig confirm relationship with kiss at fan convention
Actors Arielle Kebbel and Zach Roerig, who played Lexi Branson and Matt Donovan on the CW's hit supernatural drama, confirmed their relationship with a kiss at a fan convention in Covington, Georgia — the town that famously served as the fictional Mystic Falls.
A fan video from the April 6 'I Was Feeling Epic 3' convention, hosted by Epic Cons, captured Roerig presenting Kebbel with a bouquet of flowers before they shared a brief kiss onstage. The post quickly went viral, with the fan captioning it, 'I love a couple 🥹❤️ The ultimate romantic.' Kebbel responded with heart emojis.
The pair shared scenes during the show's first season in 2009 and its final season in 2017. Their recent reunion isn't their first: they also starred together in the 2023 Hallmark film Love in the Great Smoky Mountains: A National Park Romance.
Kebbel and Roerig join a growing list of Vampire Diaries alumni whose on-set chemistry sparked real-life relationships. In late 2023, Candice King and Steven Krueger also went public with their romance.
Kebbel, also known for John Tucker Must Die, currently stars on Fox's Rescue: HI Surf. Roerig will appear in Netflix's The Waterfront, premiering June 19 — a project led by TVD creator Kevin Williamson.

Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 launch June 5 with contrasting gameplay and story experiences
With the launch of the Switch 2 just hours away, fans of DELTARUNE can also look forward to the long-anticipated arrival of Chapters 3 and 4. The new content will be available on both Switch and Switch 2 starting at midnight on June 5, 2025. Chapters 1 and 2 are already accessible on the current Switch, and this release marks the first major update to the game in over three years. DELTARUNE creator Toby Fox has kept details under wraps until recently, but in a new interview with Nintendo, he offered a glimpse into what players can expect from the upcoming chapters. According to Fox, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 will deliver contrasting experiences, each with its own unique tone and gameplay. Fox likened Chapter 3 to 'a breath of helium,' suggesting a whimsical and fast-paced shift from the usual format. The chapter includes a dressing room and, based on trailers, features a scene where characters form a band—hinting at rhythm-style mini-games. Fox advised players to pace themselves with Chapter 3, as it may be best enjoyed in segments rather than all at once. In contrast, Chapter 4 is expected to be the most traditional RPG-style entry in the series so far. Fox described it as 'a breath of fresh air' after Chapter 3's eccentric energy. He also noted that Chapter 4 includes numerous cutscene events, especially at the beginning, and recommended it to fans who enjoy story-driven content. Like previous chapters, both new entries will contain hidden elements and clever tricks. Fox encouraged players to replay both chapters if they feel they've missed anything, reinforcing DELTARUNE's reputation for layered storytelling and replayability.

The time when Dawson's Creek reboot almost happened, creator Kevin Williamson reveals
A Dawson's Creek revival with the original cast almost came to fruition, according to series creator Kevin Williamson. In an exclusive interview with TV Insider, Williamson shared that, despite the show's 2003 finale providing a sense of closure, there were discussions about revisiting the iconic teen drama during the peak of the reboot craze following the COVID-19 pandemic. The beloved series, which followed the lives of Joey (Katie Holmes), Pacey (Joshua Jackson), Dawson (James Van Der Beek), and their friends in the fictional town of Capeside, had concluded its five-season run with emotional farewells, including the death of Jen (Michelle Williams). However, the idea of a revival sparked interest from both the cast and the creator, with Williamson admitting that they were repeatedly approached during the height of reunion and reboot trends. 'James [Van Der Beek] wanted to do it, but then Josh [Jackson] was busy. Katie [Holmes] was on board, but then James wasn't available. No one could align their schedules,' Williamson explained, noting that while the cast was enthusiastic about the concept, timing proved to be a major hurdle. Ultimately, the team reflected on the show's legacy and concluded that revisiting Dawson's Creek in its original form might not be the best direction. 'We kind of just went, 'We did it and it was good,'' Williamson said. 'We felt like maybe it could live again in another way, but not as a reboot.' While they considered possibilities, such as focusing on the next generation of characters, the revival ultimately did not move forward. Despite the scheduling conflicts, Williamson remains busy with multiple projects, including directing Scream 7 and debuting his new series, The Waterfront. As for the original cast, Holmes, Jackson, and Van Der Beek are all involved in separate projects, with their individual careers keeping them occupied.
