Blood-loving brothers.


Byline: Roz Laws

JUST what is it about vampires? They've never been more sexy, and we're never had so many on our screens.

Now viewers can sink their teeth into The Vampire Diaries, a hit American drama from Kevin 'Dawson's Creek' Williamson and based on the cult books. And as we might expect, it boasts a very goodlooking cast.

On the surface, it sounds a bit like the Twilight plot - a troubled teen has a deep connection with an honourable vampire who struggles not to taste her blood. He doesn't attack humans and survives on animals. Then she gets involved in a love triangle A love triangle is a romantic relationship involving three people (known as a triad). While it can refer to two people independently romantically linked with a third, it usually implies that each of the three people has some kind of relationship to the other two. . In Vampire Diaries, two very different blood-sucking brothers, one good and one evil, go to war for the soul of 17-yearold Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev).

She's mourning the death of her parents in a car crash and is trying to keep her younger brother from going off the rails.

, Elena meets Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley), the devastatingly handsome but mysterious new boy at school. It's love at first sight, but she has no idea that Stefan is a vampire, continually resisting the urge to bite her.

When the residents of the quiet town become the victims of a series of violent attacks, Stefan's greatest fear is realised.

His older brother and bitter enemy Damon (Ian Somer-r halder) has followed him back to their childhood home to wreak havoc and claim Elena - who bears a striking resemblance to someone in their past - for himself.

Unlike Stefan, Damon feeds on human blood which makes his powers stronger than his brother's.
