The CW Casts Vampire Diaries

From Dracula to our current obsession with the Twilight series of books and movies, once thing is for sure — we just can’t get enough of those sexy vampires! Our newest fixation is coming to the CW (possibly this fall) with Vampire Diaries and the major roles have finally been cast….

The show is based on a series of books written by L.J. Smith, and tells the story of a high school girl named Elena who falls in love with the very mysterious Stefan, who happens to be a centuries-old vampire. Stefan and his brother Damon have a tumultuous relationship thanks to another woman who came between them many years ago. Their relationship goes from bad to worse when Elena captures the attention of both men and an epic battle for her heart ensues.

Variety reports that former Lost star Ian Somerhalder has snagged the role of Damon. Nina Dobrev (Degrassi: The Next Generation) has been cast to play Elena and Paul Wesley (Everwood) joins the cast as the 200-year-old Stefan. Dawson’s Creek mastermind Kevin Williamson will be the executive producer for the series.

Will Vampire Diaries become the next big show on the CW? Will our fascination with vampires allow us to make room for yet one more primetime series? Tell us what you think….
