You can't think TB's characters are boring and then champion VD when all the characters can be traced to other sources. True Blood instantly changed things up by making vampires known to the world in it's canon which is a lot more interesting then another tired 'I'm a tortured vampire that wants to be human so I live among them in secret'. Bill's a tortured vampire character in True Blood yes, but he's ultimately more interesting and diverse then Stefan.

Eric is better then Damon ultimately, Damon's Spike from Buffy without the accent.
Who the devil is Priscilla? Do you mean Drusilla?
