I admit to never having read one word of LJ Smith's Vampire Diaries series but since the CW is making the television version, I am sure to become acquainted. Here's the latest casting news from Korbi at Zap2It.com.Ian Somerhalder (best known as Boone from Lost) has been locked in as Damon.
Paul Wesley (Fallen, Everwood) has been cast as Stefan.
Call me stupid but aren't they supposed to be related? Not seeing it.Zach Roerig (douche bag Cash from the awesome Friday Night Lights) and Kayla Ewell (The O.C., Entourage) will play siblings.
Further cast members have also been mentioned - Nina Dobrev (Degrassi: The Next Generation) and Steven R. McQueen (Everwood).Thee pilot, of which this casting is for, is being written by Scream and Dawson's Creek Kevin Williamson and Kyle XY's Julie Plec.
What do you think?

I'll watch anything with Ian Somerhalder, ANYTHING! (I tried & failed to watch LOST when he was on it) I remember him from some old WB show, like Beautiful Americans or something like that, it was good before it got cancelled!
Scratch that, it's actually called Young Americans! good show!
Ian Somerhalder looks perfect for a vampire role. As I have only seen him in a completely oppotsite roll in LOST it will be interesting to see what he can do!
Paul reminds me of a young (blanking here...actor who plays Jack Bower) who played in The Lost Boys. That should be fun!
The girl looks great! Oh I love vampire shows! I hope it does well. I was thuroughly ticked when Moonlight was cancelled!
I like everyone. Ian is a cutie for sure, and I can see how the last two would be siblings.
I have the first two in this series...I believe...they came together in one book...but I need to read them.

Stefan is also supposed to be hot. I'm not seeing that either. xDD
I've never read the books so I don't know about the cast, but I think this could be a really good show. I linked to your post on my movie news today.
Looks cool so far, and Kevin Williamson writing it can't be bad!
Vampire Diaries is a decent series, I read it recently. Fun to see a series being made about it. I will anxiously await.
Alea - I used to watch that show too and he & Kathryn Moening were my fave parts. Interesting fact - Kate Bosworth still can't act any better than she did then.
Aubrey - You were thinking of Kiefer Sutherland, I see the resemblance. Hopefully boy can act.
Lauren - totally agree there is some similarity in their faces that means they could totally be related.
Khy - not seeing the hotness either.
GBTQ - thanks for linking, will check it out now
Jenny - totally agree with your KW statement but having seen Cursed I know not everything he does is good.
Anon - if anything it gives me something to watch that I may be interested in.
*snort* they need to put that show on dvd and NOW! It was so long ago I watched it it's like a dream, i want to remember it!
I loved the Vampired Diaries when I was a teen, totally loved. I blame them for my ever living love for vampires.
I was surprised by the Ian Somerhalder news, but it's not altogether an unpleasant idea. Since LOST is my favorite show ever, I can now watch out of loyalty. Plus, that picture you used? Perfect.
LJ Smith's books were cool even before being a vampire reader was. So glad that they're on the up and up. But I suppose here in Oz we'll have to wait forever and a day before we get to see it.
I'm kind of excited i must say!!! looks good and the guys are hot. call me shallow, sure, but a girl can enjoy her eye candy!
Zach Roerig was also on As The World Turns and One Life To Live.
