THE VAMPIRE DIARIES MATT DONOVAN: USELESS CHARACTER?

There’s an article up on BuddyTV titled “5 Ways to Make Matt Interesting on The Vampire Diaries”, and the reason for the article is explained is:

“While I don’t mind Matt being alive, the truth is that there’s no real reason for it. More than any other character on The Vampire Diaries, Matt serves no purpose. The only extended storyline he’s ever had was a dull relationship with Caroline that ended as soon as she was turned into a vampire and became interesting.”

Wow. (See the article here…)

The folks over at VampireDiaries.net have something to say about this…

He’s already an interesting character for one very simple reason. Humanity. Let me explain…

One of the most obvious things about Matt is that he’s one of only two main characters left who are unaware of the supernatural, and aside from his little mind-whammy from Katherine over the course of Plan B and Masquerade, he’s not really been consciously drawn into that world. All of the other main characters are neck-deep in it. Stefan, Damon and Caroline: vampires. Tyler: werewolf. Alaric and Jeremy: vampire hunters with magical rings.

L.J. SMITH WITCHES SERIES: THE SECRET CIRCLE

It’s not a big surprise that The CW has a soft spot for author L.J. Smith. After all, she gave the network one of their biggest hits, “The Vampire Diaries,” based off of her series of the same name. (Not to mention the show also gave us the beautiful trio of Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley) The CW is heading back to L.J.’s works, this time adapting her series “Secret Circle, Vulture reports.

Last October, we contemplated which of L.J.’s other novelswould make the best small screen adaptation. L.J. herself said her vote was for “Night World,” yet “Secret Circle” seems to have won out. Writing and producing duo Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, who were behind both “The Vampire Diaries” and “Angel,” are spearheading the effort with screenwriter Andrew Miller penning the pilot.

NEW PROMO FOR SUPERNATURAL ‘FAMILY MATTERS’

Check out the new promo for the next episode of Supernatural.

I have to agree, keeping Matt oblivious to the supernatural happenings around him lends a human quality to the show that would be missing otherwise. The whole Katherine mind massage takeover story line could not have happened had Matt been aware. What are your thoughts? Do you think Matt is a useless character?

Do you think another series based on L.J. Smith characters will be as huge a hit as Vampire Diaries?
