The CW announced plans for a new show called “The Vampire Diaries”, which is based on the young adult series written by L.J. Smith. The series is centered around a high school girl named Elena, who pursues a mysterious stranger named Stefan Salvatore. Naturally, there’s more to Stefan than meets the eye and Elena discovers his secret: he’s a 200 year old vampire. As Elena and Stefan begin a relationship, Stefan’s brother, Damon, comes to town and begins to pursue Elena. Damon and Stefan clash over their past and Elena.
Ian Somerhalder (”Lost”) plays Damon Salvatore who, unlike his brother, has no problem killing humans. Stefan Salvatore is played by Paul Wesley (”Smallville” and “The OC”). Nina Dobrev (”Degrassi: The Next Generation”) plays Elena Gilbert, the 17 year old ingenue who captures Stefan’s heart and draws Damon’s obsession. Katerina Graham (”Hannah Montana”), Candice Accola (”Supernatural”) and other young actors round out the cast playing Elena’s high school classmates. The Vampire Diaries will begin airing in the fall of 2009 on Thursdays from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST.
