    I think Candice would be great as Carline.

    Michael would be way getter as Damon but I’m iffy about him as Tyler.

    Katerina as Bonnie. Can I kill myself … they have cha …. they … grr thats it I’m now NOT watching it at all!!!

  • Vee

    I’m finding it more and more interesting that we haven’t seen a name for Stefan yet.

  • Red

    Yeah, me too. Though it amuses me if they’re keeping that under wraps for any reason, because Damon is really the biggest casting news that most old-school fans are interested in. We’re all ‘Stefan? Who’s Stefan?’. Poor Stefan. :D

  • Red

    Well, I’ve just twigged that Bonnie and Caroline are opposite to who I thought they were. I assumed that Accola was Bonnie because of the whole cute red-head vibe, and Graham was Caroline because of the more glamorous model looks. Caroline is auburn, but she’s not meant to be cutesy like Accola, and I’m guessing they’re doing some strange Bonnie and Meredith smoosh up with Graham. Colour me confused.

    This is getting easier and easier to completely separate from the books. O_o

  • Incanto

    Yeah, I added in the “I’ve listed the photos in the order that I listed the actors” because I totally would’ve thought Accola was playing Bonnie otherwise.

    Plus we don’t even know if she’s going to be a redhead for the role. An image search on Google showed that she’s spent a lot of time as a blonde, too. Oh CW, you are so stupid. Your marketing execs are probably turnips.

  • sarah_darling

    I agree, I’m shocked that those girls were cast as those characters! Not feeling great about this…

    Heh, I did the same thing, and didn’t realise until I read your blog. Because for a second there I was thinking, “Hey, Caroline and Bonnie look okay!”. In a way, Boone would have done sort-of-okay for Stefan, because he did the earnest idiot thing okay on Lost.

    AGH.

    Time to play Cast Carousel! Which role will they end up in? NOBODY KNOWS!

  • http://www.salishna.net/ Adia

    And here we all thought the casting choices back in the early days of fandom were bad. The CW just keeps trying to beat us!

  • Sean

    Anything we can do about the disastrous casting moves just announced? The only ones I’m content with are Somerhalder, McQueen and Trevino. All the girls, and especially Paul Wesley, are just mind-bogglingly bad decisions. Who is running the network? Fire the casting directors immediately, if you want to have a successful show. This series was FIRST AND FOREMOST, ALL ABOUT GETTING THE CASTING CORRECT. They’ve failed before the show even shoots a scene.

  • verdancyhime

    wait, what? i’m even willing to see caroline as one of those “looks innocent and sweet but spits poison” sort of girls, but bonnie as a sleek, sex-kittenish fashion model type? oh, and didn’t the script actually make a sort of nod to the DROO-ids? because they’ve just bungled that one.

    seriously, if the fandom had been given a 2,000 dollar budget they probably could have collectively made a better screen adaptation of this.

  • `Kayla

    I also thought that Bonnie would lok more like Candica Accola. Havening Katerina Graham play Bonnie is not what I liked!! I don’t think that I will watch the show because of that!! IT goes against how Smith described the characters!! Whoever chose the cast needs to chose again!!

  • Venus

    Hmmmm. You’ve changed last names, character descriptions (or eliminated them/ added them), the story itself… In fact the only things you seem to have kept are the first names the title and the very, very basic plot.
    I’ve loved this series since ’92, and I’m not pleased about you disarranging it; but if you were to change the first names and the title of the show-to disassociate it with my old favorite book series- I might be exited about the “new” show.

  • Charlotte

    Im new to the series but enjoyed it alot and Im really angry about the casting choices Ive seen so far.
    No attention is being paid to the books at all and its such a waste. It seems the series is destined to be some awful combination of Gossip Girls and Twilight.
    And it looks to me as though the studio is more interested in cashing in on the Twilight Vampire dollars than actually bringing our favourite characters to life.

  • audrey

    That picture of Candice is old. She has blood hair and I am pretty sure it was blond for filming.

  • http://www.redster.org.uk/ Red

    I noticed she was blonde in Supernatural recently. Knowing she was blonde for filming TVD just makes me boggle and want to headdesk.

    We’ll do a round of picture updating when we have some official pics, methinks.

  • Vee

    Lord have mercy on all of us if Candice’s hair is blonde while Nina Dobrev’s is dark. Sigh.

  • http://www.redster.org.uk/ Red

    I’m getting a headache just thinking about the outcry. O_o

  • haylee

    why tha hell is bonnie black?? she’s supposed to havee red hair && freckles. . .likee me . lol .

  • Grace

    WHAT THE HELL?! They can’t get rid of Meredith and Aunt Judith they are crucial roles and characters in the books! Bonnie isn’t black either! lol This is tragic! They shouldn’t have made the show the Vampire Diaries… just name it something else please cause this show is gonna be horrible due to it not being somewhat or even closely true to the books. They’re replacing characters, not placing characters that look like the characters in the books. UGH! Truly disappointed by this :-(.
