Remember when Buffy and Dawson's Creek reigned supreme? Well, The Vampire Diaries demonstrates the best of both of those worlds when Nina's Elena joins Paul Wesley's brooding Stefan onscreen. Their smoldering chemistry is almost as captivating as the crazy backstory. Is Elena really Katherine?
This former soap opera star brings loads of deliciousness to Melrose 2.0 as sexy chef Auggie. Did he kill Sydney (Laura Leighton)? Will he fall for Violet's (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz) overeager advances? Only time will tell, but with acting chops and a face like that, we're hooked!
Rachel Berry is queen of the gleeks. With incredible vocals rivaling our other favorite petite songstress (did you see her duet with guest star Kristin Chenoweth?), Lea's musical numbers take each and every episode above and beyond. Our standout? Queen's "Somebody to Love."
We are loving the chemistry between sassy Britta and slacker Jeff (Joel McHale) on NBC's Thursday-night hit. With the pair tiptoeing around an inevitable hookup, show runners have already given us a tease with a little make-out sesh early on. Oh, did we mention she's a Juilliard-trained actress?
On ABC's breakout hit, Eric plays fabulous and fun Cameron. His Modern Family gig centers around Cam's marriage to Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and their newly adopted Vietnamese daughter, Lily. Just one part of a brilliant ensemble cast, Cameron's outlandish storylines stand out and steal the show.
As good-girl med student turned high-dollar escort Lauren, Stephanie makes the original Melrose sexpots look tame. We're not sure just how immersed Lauren is going to get in the prostitute biz, but as long as Stephanie keeps rockin' it, we're not going anywhere.
Dianna's devious (and pregnant!) Quinn makes lives miserable on Fox's smash hit Glee and we just can't get enough. The first few episodes have given the cheerleader some pretty heavy issues to deal with, but the schemes she has schemed are daytime-soap-opera worthy.
Mercy's ensemble cast is overshadowed by Taylor's Veronica. Just back from a tour of duty in Iraq, the soon-to-be star portrays V's post-traumatic stress with ease, and even mixes in some sexy time with her overseas lover, played by charismatic James Tupper.
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Jamie Ray graces our TVs as Kat, who possesses the power of Mother Earth on ABC's supernatural series. Just one part of the ridiculously gorgeous cast (Rebecca Romijn and Lindsay Price costar), Jamie Ray brings the fun in this television adaptation.
We may not love Fox's new family sitcom, but Strahan is adorable nonetheless. With a goofy grin that goes on for days, Michael blends in seamlessly with the likes of CCH Pounder and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell.
Gone are the Beautiful days for Sara's budding supermodel Raina. With the series canceled before it could even attempt to find its footing, we will miss Paxton, the one bright spot of the Ashton Kutcher brainchild. Our fingers are crossed for another Paxton project in the near future.
