Other cast members include Steven R. McQueen who portrays Jeremy Gilbert,Elena's younger brother, later revealed to be her biological cousin, with Sara Canning acting as Jeremy and Elena's aunt and legal guardian, Jenna Sommers. Katerina Graham portrays Bonnie Bennett, Elena's best friend and a witch.

hoped you really liked it ok.
see yall.
hugs and kisses.
Ok, I don't know if any of you agree with me, but i think Twilight copied Vampire Diaries. i mean, do you see a resemblance? A human who befriends vampires, A love triangle about a human who falls in love with a vampire but also loves someone else as a friend, but that friend is in love with her. Bella loses a friend because of the vampire just like Elena loses Caroline as a friend because of Stefan. There are also wolves in the stories, too. Now, is it just me, or did Twilight copy Vampire Diaries? Remember that The Awakening came before Twilight.
