Here is our first look at a new set of promo pics released by The CW to promote their new series The Vampire Diaries based on the book series of the same name. Often referred to as Twilight for TV (even tho the books, written by L.J. Smith, were published many years before the first Twilight book hit store shelves), The Vampire Diaries tell the tale of Elena Gilbert who is torn between the love of two vampire brothers — the good one Stefan (played by Paul Wesley) and the bad one Damon (played by Ian Somerhalder):
Oooh steamy. This ad campaign has been titled Love Sucks and is all kinds of sexy. I quite like the top photo, it’s sexy and not too cheesy. It remains to be seen if this vampire TV series aimed at tweens (as opposed to HBO‘s True Blood which is aimed at adults) will be as successful as The Twilight Saga movie franchise but I’m sure The CW is gonna give it all they’ve got. After the jump, check out a few more promo pics of each of the three main characters — Elena, Stefan and Damon …
It is gonna be real nice having apple-cheeked Ian Somerhalder back on TV on a weekly basis. In all honesty, I wasn’t too impressed with the pilot episode of The Vampire Diaries that I got to see last month but … one cannot judge an entire series on just the pilot. I’m hoping this new series will be entertaining … and if not, hopefull it’ll bring the LULz. I like the idea of vampire brothers fighting over an innocent girl … it’s almost never been done before ;)

One of the many directors of Dexter is a director and a producer of The Vampire Diaries, maybe it will turn out a great series. I´ll give it a try
ooooh the guys look YUMMMMY! :)
Does anyone remember the blonde guy from the OC? LOL I remember he did one episode and shot Luke bwahahah.
Is it just me or does the girl look so much younger than the two guys that it’s somewhat unbelievable that they are chasing after her. She looks all of 15, and they look like they are in the mid 20′s.
Anywhooo… Ian Somerhalder is all kinds of sexy, so I’ll definitely tune in.
omg, I don’t see anything BUT cheese in those first 2 pic…bleh
@Erin – thank you, I thought I was the only one.
so I saw the pilot a few weeks ago and it was a little rougher than twilight and more tame than true blood with hints of both sprinkled through out. but I will say it did have some great music (as did the melrose redo pilot)
Damn Ian is hawt.
I dont read anything about vampires. i am sorta vampired out so i wont be watching this but…you said its aimed towards “tweens” but it shows some (supposedly) high school chick engaging in what looks like some threeway action with her neck being licked? weird
Whatever, im so tired with vampires, and im a teen girl myself
DAMN, the first pic got my heart racing!
Yum!!
I’m the same, it’s all CHEESE. And the first pic looks like an orgy (a girl and two brothers? Sick!)
I hated Twilight (barf)
I won’t watch this one (incest orgies)
so i LOVED buffy, I LOVED roswell, and i LOVE twilight….soooo…this seems right up my alley…i miss the buffy/roswell days…the actress is insanely pretty on degrassi
I have been thinking about Roswell lately, it was such a good show! Does anyone know if you can get DVD’s of Roswell?
Ill have to watch this series, i love vampires ( and hate twilight ) besides ian looks so freeking hot, paul is hot too but ian has such a perfect face ready to play a vampire lol
GOTTA ADMIT. MMMM..I WILL WATCH THIS SHOW. TWO GUYS + ONE GIRL?? YUMMY
I will probably check this show out. I love vampire stuff … but I really don’t like that actress, as others have said in this comment thread all I see is Mia from Degrassi and she is not a good actress so I hope she doesn’t ruin the show :(
@ hhmmm… kinda like what kristen stewart’s horrible acting did to twilight. ruin in. at least the guys are HAWT. that must be what all the vamp shows/movies are going for. get the girls to drool and they’ve got a winner
@yeahyeahyeah agreed these new shows seem to focus more on having hot guys (not that I am complaining about that) than on believable actresses/characters (that I complain about) that love them
Roswell is definitely available on DVD and you can watch it online http://www.thewb.com. It’s my guilty pleasure!
Ok, ok I know I shouldn’t say “thats not canon!”, but aren’t her eyes supposed to be the same color as the rings? And aren’t the brothers supposed to..um, look like brothers? WTF.
I’ll still give it a shot though, lol
