Ever since Sara Canning’s character was killed off in “The Vampire Diaries”, we’ve been wondering when she’d pop up next, and today we have our answer. “Supernatural” has signed her to guest star as a “lust interest” for Jensen Ackles’ demon warrior known as Dean Winchester.

Per TVLine Sara will play Lydia, a character “Supernatural” executive producer Sera Gamble describes as “wry, independent, and as fun-loving as Dean.” Gamble adds that Lydia and Dean “have a memorable evening that takes an unexpected turn.” The original casting breakdown for Lydia took things a step further, describing their encounter as a “sizzling one-night stand.”

Look for Canning in the show’s 13th episode (slated to air in late January), and in the meantime here’s another preview of this Friday’s mid-season finale, entitled “Death’s Door”.

Episode 7.10 “Death’s Door” (12/2/11 Air Date; 9:00-10:00 PM):
BOBBY REVISITS HIS PAST — As Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) race the clock on a high-stakes mission, Bobby (Jim Beaver) seeks the help of an unlikely old friend to solve one of the most personal cases of his life.

Robert Singer directed the episode written by Sera Gamble.
