    Television Show

    Three Seasons (to date in the U.S.A)

    Instead of giving a blow-by-blow account of everything that I’ve been able to see (living in NZ) of The Vampire Diaries, I thought I’d look at some of the characters that make up the show so far and discuss them instead. This might also include tidbits about why they make the show interesting, entertaining and/or fun to watch.

    But to start, I think it’s a good idea to briefly intro the show, how I got interested in it, what kind of show it is and then get into the character profiles.

    To be clear, again, like Twilight, I was initially uninterested in TVD until a friend of mine put me onto the show (a male friend who insisted it was better than Twilight). I decided to give the show a go and must admit, it did take a while to grow on me. I didn’t think much of it after having read the first book from the author L.J Smith (which is VERY different in almost every way to the television show).

    They’ve done good things with TVD and it’s become a “tween” success. But I have to say, the storyline in places is a bit dull and it’s the characters that are interesting so I’ll focus on the major characters rather than the story for now.

    In order:

    Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev)

    Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley)

    Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder)

    Katherine Pierce (Nina Dobrev)
