book*

i started reading the books over the summer after i found out about the show and to be honest im some what dissapointed.i know things are supposed to change and you have to make it your own but still!you should've stayed some what like 95% true to the boo

I just finished the books and was looking forward to the series but this is dissapointing. The cast is all mixed up. Elena is BLONDE!! READ IT!

So this means that Kathrine will also be a tan brunette with brown eyes? Wow, way to follow the books! How VERY disappointing, and I was looking forward to seeing how the show turned out, because the books are pretty awesome!! And it sounds like you're do

Thats A Little Stupid I Bet The Casting Directors Didn't Even Read The Book Because Elena's Hair Is To Be BLOND And She Was Saposed To Be Pale WHITE And Nina's Neither :p ( No Offense) Im So Disappointed :(

did the casting directors not read the book?

OMG i love nina!! she's amazing on degrassi, i'll watch this show just for her

This is completely REDICULOUS! Are the actually TRYING to ruin Vampire Diaries?!!! Elena Gilbert is BLONDE and PALE and supposed to look like an Angel. Maybe they need to get their eyes checked because this girl has NOTHING in common with her. THANKS CW

Elena should be blonde and pale... This girl is brown haired and tan. This sucks.

she doesn't look like the REAL elena gilbert vv.

Elena is an Angel

now is Elena brunnette? :S

oh god!! i love nina, shes the best! and shes my perfect elena, shes so pretty!!!

is that elena...?
