The Sexiest Paranormals on TV
Being a writer, I rarely get to read anymore. This is a colossal sacrifice,
mind you, for someone who used to read 3-5 books a week...*sob*
Initially I felt the loss of my SFF “fix” like a junkie on a detox. Then I
discovered a few little TV series that have more than made up for the loss of my
fiction fetish. I don’t know why, or how (and I’m certainly not complaining) but
there are so many shows now that cater for us SFF fanatics. It’s hard to choose
who is more swoon-worthy, but here is my list. Believe me, this was tough...the
competition is fierce!
#1: The Vampire Diaries’
Damon Salvatore
Okay, so maybe this one was easy. What you heard just then? That was the
sound of a thousand panties dropping. Damon Salvatore has got to be the sexiest
thing ever to have happened to TV. Just ask his over 12 million Facebook fans.
What I love about Damon, other than his out-of-this-world good looks, is his
snarky sense of humour. Here are a few of my favourite ever Damon Quotes:
- “What I don’t get is why she likes you.”- Silas / Damon:
“That’s because you haven’t had sex with me.”
- “If I see something I haven’t seen before I’ll throw a dollar at it.”
- “Dear Diary, a chipmunk asked me my name today. I told him my name was Joe.
That lie...will haunt me...for the rest of my life.”
#2: The Originals’
Elijah Mikaelson
There is not a suit in this world that doesn’t aspire to adorn this Original
vampire. Elijah is the epitome of super-human self-control, but he is just as
dangerous as his evil hybrid brother, Klaus.
Only in a far more sophisticated
way. My favourite Elijah quote:
Rebekah: Who do we have to kill?”
Elijah: “Probably no-one...alright, potentially everyone.”
#3: Beauty & the Beasts’ Vincent Keller
Vincent Keller, AKA: Sex-on-legs. A far cry form the original Vincent played
by Ron Perlman in the 80’s, THIS Vincent is delectable. I must admit, I
preferred him with the scar in Season 1, although we are definitely rocking the
hero hair in Season 2.
My favourite Vincent quote:
“I am so in love with you” – followed by the ass-grab that almost set my TV
on fire!
#4: STAR CROSSED’s
Roman
So gorgeous he only needs one name. That body...that body! Roman is a newbie
in town, only a few episodes of Star Crossed have been aired, but he had me at
episode 1. While I’m not sure about the storyline, I am sure that I will watch
this series just to clap eyes on the gorgeous young Atrian once a week!
My favourite Roman quote:
“Barrelling? Me? I’m the picture of stealth...”
#5: The Vampire Diaries’
Stefan Salvatore
Ah, the good Salvatore brother. Is it weird that we find the fact that he
feeds on bunnies and squirrels so attractive?
My favourite Stefan Quote:
“I should be upstairs grooming my hero hair.”
#6: The Originals’
Klaus Mikaelson
That hot British accent...tattoos for days...what is not to like about the
angry, vicious Klaus. Original, immortal, hybrid...the list is endless. Klaus is
so bad, he’s rotten to the core...and don’t we eat it up.
My favourite Klaus Quotes:
“You’re a bit of a mad genius, Elijah..count me in!”
Genevieve: A century ago I dreamed of what it would be like to know you. Now
I'm glad I didn't. I might have been naive enough to fall for you, or fear you,
but I learned a lot in death. Trust me, Klaus Mikaelson: it's you who should be
scared of me.
Klaus: I will miss the sex (Ouch!!!!!)
# 7: The Tomorrow Peoples’
John Young
Admittedly, I had no idea what John’s surname was until I Googled him for
this post. This particular Tomorrow Person is by far my favourite of the lot.
Move over, Astrid...John is ours!
My favourite John quote:
Cara: "Oh my god...that was...."
John: "Long overdue!...What?"
Cara: "I'm just not sure about this whole sleeping together and working
together."
John: "I respect your authority in and out of the bedroom."
#8: Supernatural’s
Dean Winchester
Who is worried about the gates of hell, when we have Dean the demon hunter to
protect us? I was a fan way back when he played the clean faced Eric Brady on
Days of our Lives (yes, that was a long time ago!) and nothing has changed. In
fact, Jensen Ackles only gets better with age.
My favourite Dean quotes:
Henricksen: You think you're funny?
Dean: I think I'm
adorable.
Sam: So let me get this straight. You want to drive all the way to
Cicero just to hook up with some random chick?
Dean: She was a yoga teacher. That was the bendiest weekend of my
life!
Sam: Kids are the best?
Dean: Yeah, I love
kids.
Sam: Name three children that you even know.
(Dean
scratches head for while; Sam starts to walk away)
Dean: I'm
thinking!
#9: Arrow’s
Oliver Queen
Okay, so he’s not technically a
supernatural, but with those abs, he should be! Oliver Queen...*sigh*...it took
me half a season to warm to this new Arrow, but when I did, oh boy, did I. With
bated breath I await the long-anticipated Felicity-Oliver hook-up, but it seems
the CW are determined to make us wait.
My favourite Oliver quotes:
Laurel: You're really
cute when you're mopey.
Oliver: I'm not mopey.
Laurel: Mopey's your default Ollie. It's part of your smoldering charm.
Oliver: I do have smoldering charm
#10.The Vampire Diaries’ Jeremy Gilbert
Remember the days when Jeremy Gilbert was a greasy-haired kid who moped
around? Me neither J Baby Gilbert grew up around season 3, and suddenly I was
paying attention. This vampire hunter is F-I-N-E. Sucks to be Elena – I hear
incest is frowned upon.
My favourite Jeremy quote:
“I, on the other hand, am a hunter. Plus...I work out.”
So that is my top 10 supernatural sexy list. What’s yours?
