Super-excited to pass along this casting news... My good friend Emily C. Chang has joined the cast of the CW supernatural drama The Vampire Diaries as "a new character who may not be who she seems."
'Vampire Diaries' Adds 'Unexpected' Character for Season 6
Emily will play the recurring character of Ivy, who is described as "sweet and sincere," and "the quintessential girl next door with an unexpected wild side." And that's about all the information we've got. Maybe she's a vampire! I don't know. I guess we'll find out, because I will definitely be tuning in to see homegirl Emily.

— emily chang (@chihuac) July 16, 2014On the heels of Eureka star Colin Ferguson joining the sixth season, The CW drama will be introducing the recurring character of Ivy, described as sweet and sincere. Actress Emily C. Chang, whose credits include Days of Our Lives and Total Recall, has booked the role.
Not much is known about Ivy, only that she's "the quintessential girl next door with an unexpected wild side" — but knowing Vampire Diaries, the tide will turn sooner rather than later. She will first appear in the sixth-season premiere.
You may recognize Emily from her scene-stealing turn as the "Ba-zing!" gal in that Ruffles commercial from a few years back. I should also mention that Emily is a former Angry Reader of the Week.
The sixth season of The Vampire Diaries premieres October 2 on The CW. See you in Mystic falls.
