Thus far nothing has been released as for what role they will be playing. But they will be joining the already hot cast in a popular series. All of them do not have much history except for Lilly who starred in Heroes. The shows team issued a big congrats to the stars via online, which was the first we heard of the new cast members even being added to the third season.

Och på thevampirediariescanada.com står det såhär:

The always wonderful Carina Adly MacKenzie from Zap2It had this nice spoiler for this upcoming Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries. I guess it should go without saying that if you want to remain spoiler free…..well, as Carina puts it, good luck with that! Read below to find out about a new character that is going to show up in Mystic Falls this year.

Our merry gang of monsters and friends is about to grow a bit when a 16-year-old girl named April comes back to town. She’s from Mystic Falls, so she remembers Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) from their childhood, but she’s been away at private school for the last few years. She decides to move back to town after a death in the family, so when we first meet her, she’s grieving. Perhaps some of our favorite characters can relate. While we’re not sure yet whether she’s got a hidden agenda, we can tell you that she’s smarter than first impressions may convey.

Producers are also looking for someone slightly more threatening. (By slightly, we mean a whole freaking lot.) They’re seeking a “scary hot” — emphasis on scary — actor to play the imposing Connor. He’s described as a “highly trained killing machine,” so, you know… nothing too out-of-the-ordinary for a Mystic Falls newcomer.

Both roles are recurring, and we can expect them to be pretty significant in the first part of the season.
