'Vampire Diaries' season 5 hits the CW Network and the blood suckers from Mystic Falls are joined by a few new cast members. As John Basedow (@JohnBasedow) reports, season 5 promo pictures show a gun slinging Nadia (Olga Fonda) and mysterious Tessa, who's played by 'True Blood' veteran Janina Gavankar. Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Elena/Katherine (Nina Dobrev), Stefan/Silas (Paul Wesley) and the other supernatural beings look to be in for more drama this fall.
