So I don't know if anyone on my flist has even heard of these books, but I was a big fan of the Kelley Armstrong book Bitten and there's going to be a Canadian tv version of it. 13 episodes and airing on Space

And I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the casting. Laura Vandervoort is actually a very good actress, but she's just not Elena to me. I always pictured Elena as being more tomboyish, no make-up, hair tied back in a ponytail. The books always made a big deal about how casually she dressed and styled herself. Then you look at the pictures of Laura as Elena and she just doesn't fit that picture for me at all. Ditto Clayton who the book always made a big deal of having golden curls and being quite angelic-looking, this is just some generic beefcake guy. Not a comment on his acting as I've never seen him in anything before, just in terms of looks he is all wrong for Clayton IMO

Or am I being too picky? :P

Hands down Paige and Lucas. I LOVE them both, hell even Savannah grew on me. Witches, mafia = perfect.

That quote from the actor about the accent kmade me go wuh? Dude, aren't you supposed to know how to act? I guess if he's worked with a dialect coach and can't do it, ok, but that quote makes me wonder if he has.

ETa: I saw LV at a con once and she's lovely in RL, but as an actress she's never been any good to me.

I've no idea if they even tried that, I just saw a quote from the actor saying that he apologises for not being Southern himself. Umm you're an actor, there are ways of getting around not being exactly the same as the character you're playing. Maybe unfair, but that hasn't given me much confidence in his abilities
