** This is made extra weird by the casting of John Anders (born 1981) as [[spoiler: Elena's [[AbsurdlyYouthfulMother father]], John Gilbert.]] Isobel, who is supposed to be younger than him even without being a vampire, is played 35-year-old Creator/MiaKirshner.

** This is made extra weird by the casting of John David Anders (born 1981) as [[spoiler: Elena's [[AbsurdlyYouthfulMother father]], John Gilbert.]] Isobel, who is supposed to be younger than him even without being a vampire, is played 35-year-old Creator/MiaKirshner. Though Anders's receding hairline does make him look older than he actually is.

** Kat Graham said that one thing that she wanted to do was to have Bonnie explore her sexuality, but the closest the show came to it was a semi-flirty scene in Season 7 with Nora.

!!Trivia for the books
* ExecutiveMeddling: In probably one of the most heinous examples, Creator/LJSmith was [[http://www.tvovermind.com/the-vampire-diaries/vampire-diaries-lj-smith-fired-book-series/47708 fired]] from writing her own series following the ''Return'' trilogy. The article speculates that this was because they didn't like the romantic pairing she was planning on going with in the ending, but no reason has been officially given. Shipping: SeriousBusiness. Smith herself stated there wasn't anything she could do because when she first began writing ''The Vampire Diaries'' in the early 90s, she had unknowingly signed a 'work-for-hire' contract with the publisher, meaning they technically own the rights to ''The Vampire Diaries'' rather than Smith.
* SequelGap: The original four books were published between 1991 and 1992. The fifth book and first book of the ''Return'' trilogy, ''Nightfall'', was published in 2009, seventeen years later.

** Creator/KatGraham has never once hid the fact that she has hated her time on the show, largely because of the behind the scenes treatment she received that was fairly racist towards her. Once the show ended, she flat out refused to work with any of the creative staff, and has not once reprised her character.
** Creator/IanSomerhalder is very vocal about disliking the way his character (Damon) was written, largely due to the way people treated his character as basically being justified in the terrible things he's done.
