Vampires are a major hit this year, and the CW’s Vampire Diaries, aka Twilight Lite, is a smashing fan sensation. The supernatural drama received powerful early ratings, which earned it a full 22-episode first season, and a People’s Choice award.
With a tagline of “love sucks,” I assure you, in this series it really does. Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Jeremy Gilbert (Steven R. McQueen) are siblings who lost their parents in a tragic car accident while still in their teens. They are taken in and raised by their aunt in the aptly-named town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. Bonnie Bennett (Katerina Graham) tries her best to be a strong tower of support for Elena, while Caroline Forbes (Candice Accola) hangs somewhere on the opposite end of the friendship spectrum, not quite an enemy, but not quite a friend.
No vampire story is complete without the push and pull of good versus evil.
This age-old drama is played out in vampires Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) and his older brother, Damon (Ian Somerhalder). Stefan has rejected the chaos and destruction of the vampire legacy and vows to be the protector of Elena and the townies, while Damon would like nothing better than to destroy them and their souls.
While all of that drama is taking place, Jeremy is running from the painful loss of his parents by using drugs and hanging out with undesirables, and Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino), has it in for the mysterious Stefan Salvatore. I wonder who wins that battle, and then ultimately the souls of Mystic Falls.
