1. Damon Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries)

Played by: Ian Somerhalder

So here he is. The man who’s has deposed Spike from the number one spot. And who could begrudge him? Damon is the new Spike: bad boy? Check. Sharp wit? Check. Willingness to go shirtless? Check? Initially loathed by the show’s heroine but now looking more likely to get in her knickers? Check. Cheekbones? Well… they’re not in the Spike league, but Damon has his fruit machine eyes instead, rolling in ways that seem beyond human abilities.

There’s little doubt that Damon has been a major part in The Vampire Diaries’ success, and Ian Somerhalder has played him like a man gripping onto a buck bronco like his life depends on it. Somerhalder has moaned a bit lately that Damon gets beaten up once too often in the show, and he has a point. So expect some more ass-kicking in future, which can only consolidate his pole position, surely?

Ian is #1
Joseph is #7
Nina is #6
Paul is #15

It seems that the media still don’t get what the buzz about the Vampire Diaries is all about. One reporter from Covington News, a local newspaper, made their way down to Covington on a cold night to see what the fuss was all about.

Judging by her cynical report and sarcasm through most of the article, she thinks we fans are silly and insane for wanting to stand out in the cold (PS: You don’t know COLD until you live in Canada. Trust me!) to possibly see one star.

If anything, the reporter should have left her cynicism at home and embraced what she was about to witness. She should have spent more time talking with the fans and asking them what the fandom was all about. Why “The Vampire Diaries”? Why stand outside for hours on end with the remote hope of seeing one actor? What is so special about “The Vampire Diaries” fandom?

Had I been there, I would have been able to tell her this much; It’s not just about the show or the actors or SmolderHolder (aka Ian Somerhalder). It’s the fans. It’s the sense of family and community. It’s making new friendships that will last a lifetime and beyond. It’s the distinct thrill we get when we do get to meet a cast member. I live all the way up in Canada and do you think I ever thought I would have met the cast? Hell no! I didn’t think it would’ve ever happened. Not in a bagillion years! But it did! I met 8 cast members last year when I travelled to Atlanta for a fan convention. Part of the memories I have are from spending hours on set hoping to catch a glimpse of my favourite show being filmed and also get to meet cast members that I didn’t get to meet at the convention.

So to all those cynical and sarcastic reporters out there who think we are silly fangirls. Look around Twitter when the show is about to air on Thursday nights. Look around at some of the fansites (We take this fansite business seriously. Trust me!). Check out the awards the show has won (Nina Dobrev winning Choice Drama Actress after being the first ever write-in on the People’s Choice Awards ballot)! Hang out at a fan convention and witness the amazing energy of the fans. Hang out again on set and spend more time talking to the fans to understand better what it really is all about.

Ian Somerhalder told me at the People’s Choice Awards that he’d just shot a Vampire Diaries scene where Damon “wakes up naked with another woman who is a hot vampire.” Might this be Katherine? Nina Dobrev (Elena/Katherine) hints, “I can’t say whether or not I’m in that scene, but it is a character fans are familiar with and Elena will definitely have an opinion on it.”
