Maiara Walsh, who played Gaby`s and Carlos` bratty, over-sexed niece Ana on last season`s Desperate Housewives, is headed to Mystic Falls to cause more even trouble. In Vampire Diaries` Oct. 7 episode, the 22-year-old actress will appear as Sarah, a high schooler who likes to party. Woo-hoo! Crack open the coffins and pour me some blood!

Vampire Diaries executive producer Kevin Williamson tells me, "Sarah is a girl who sets her eyes on Jeremy and encourages him to party it up at the Lockwood house." (And by Lockwood house, we`re now talking Werewolf Central.)

Since Maiara now has a good chance of being killed off by both vampires and werewolves, I wish her the best of luck in Mystic Falls. She`s a sweet actress whose Housewives character just never took off. Last we saw of Ana Solis, she was headed off to New York City to pursue a modeling career just like her Aunt Gaby did back in her day. At least I think that`s what happened to her. I sort of tuned her character out after she got all caught up with those Bolen neighbors.
