I forgot who Gloria was supposed to be. I had to go back and look up the info. I should have known she's a witch. For anyone wondering, here's the STV post with the character details: http://www.spoilertv.com/2011/07/vampire-diaries-episode-303-casting_27.html
Geez, come on. I knew she'd play a witch when we got her picture. Seriously, I do get that the witches they show on TVD are all somehow related, thus share the same skin-color, but I wish they'd get less obvious and ... say ... cast a really pale freckled ginger-head as a witch for a change. *sigh* Also, her role is doomed, at least to me. I've never liked any of the witches on the show (or warlocks, for that matter). But hei, maybe she's gonna surprise me.
whats wrong with a dark skinned witch? u racist? nah nah..i'm just trollin' ..but with all seriousness i think they already introduced a white witch named maddox, he wasnt blonde or a barbie, but it does show that there is diversity in the whitchcraft race, the witches around mystic falls happen to be of african decent, but i'm sure there r barbie looking witches somewhere outside mystic falls.
Yes, it's rather boring. The Bennett's, the Martins, even Damon's late friend Bree.
And I get that the 100 dead witches were probably a community and most likely the same race, but do they have to keep it that way. After all, it's not like any of the witches except Bonnie is going to survive for very long, I'll take a token celtic druid.
Well, there was Harper who came out of the tomb with Pearl. He was the one you sort of watched emerge, and was killed by John Gilbert at the farm together with Pearl. So we've had a token black vampire.
I'm thinking that Emily Bennett was a servant, so maybe the other witches she was associated with were also servants and therefore dark skinned because of the time period, and since the witches we've met are mostly related... I'm just guessing though. It is a little strange having them all be one race.
Oh, right, that was the one that worked for Klaus and got shot by Matt, right? I totally forgot about him. Well, okay then, I guess we have had a token white witch. Even if all he did was bitch about Klaus' "luggage" and help him possess Alaric. ;)

Hmm, I can't see her fit so easily, but I think it would depend on her character..

Another witch.The picture sais it all. I just wanted a blonde barbie kinda witch! Too much to ask?
ReplyDeleteI have to agree...it seems strange to me that the witches are all one race and the other mythological creatures are another race. I mean, come on now.
ReplyDeletei wanna see some black vampires ffs

ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeletei dont like her for the role... its too similar to the others witches...

ReplyDeleteBut you're right. More diversity.

ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteShe's also going to be in the Footloose remake that comes out in October - really hot girl right now...

ReplyDeletei agree too, i get the logic but it does seem a bit weird
ReplyDeletethere must be other witches somewhere in the world right
