Ian Somerhalder
There is something faintly ridiculous about how he looks, and yet also something totally hot. It's like he's starring in a pilot called Dirty Sexy Monkees.
Cress Williams
Mayor Hayes, you are a treasure. I doff my cap to you, good sir.
Scott Porter
He looks so much better than he has been on Hart of Dixie lately. He's gotten a lot more muscular and it feels sometimes like the costumers are still sticking him in shirts they bought for his old guns.
Wilson Bethel
I love you, Wade, but that suit is the color of some troubled manure.
Daniel Gillies
ELIJAH. YES. MORE ELIJAH.
AnnaSophia Robb
This might have really worked for me without the giant geometry lesson happening on her abs. Also: WOW, bronzer. But she still manages to be so very lovely, and I guess at least it's fun. And not orange.
Austin Butler
He's a handsome little hipster, but man, every time I see glasses like that I think of a teacher in an '80s movie. Specifically the teacher in Grease 2 who sings about reproduction. Which isn't to say he can't carry them off, but one doesn't necessarily want "Where does the pollen GO" to be the first thing people hear in their heads when they see your face. Well, that might be a lie -- I do, after all, want that as my ringtone.
Brendan Dooling
WALT! Hi, Walt! The surprise renewal of The Carrie Diaries means we get to check in with him, which is great, because I was very concerned about how his summer went. Y'all know how much I love me some Walt.
Jay Ryan
I am coming out of the closet again, or for the first time, as a compulsive Beauty and the Beast watcher on Hulu. It is much better than I thought it would be, although certainly not perfect, and also I was so concerned he was a beast just because he had a tiny wee scar and that turned out not to be the case. He's more of a HULK SMASH kind of fellow. Anyway: I enjoy it, and he looks nice, although I the fact that he's suppressing a New Zealand accent sometimes means he delivers his lines like he learned them phonetically.
Kristen Kreuk
Those shoes are hurting my face.
Eliza Taylor
Eliza is on the midseason replacement The 100, and she's an Aussie who comes from that OTHER actor farm, Neighbours (as opposed to Home and Away). Her Wikipedia page says she hasn't ruled out a return to the show (which she left in 2008), but I am guessing between this and a role in the Shailene Woodley movie The Spectacular Now, she is... really not ever going back to Ramsey Street.
Emily Bett Rickards
She's on Arrow, which I stopped watching because I decided I can only handle one thing at a time in my life that involves archery and right now it's Katniss Everdeen. But she looks pretty, although someone should have made sure the CW's newer blondes weren't wearing the same color.
Danielle Campbell
Another one from The Originals, although her character may not be long for this world because it appears her chest is already catching on fire.
Leah Pipes
No really, somebody can wear another color combination. It's okay.
Katie Cassidy
NO. REALLY.
Nina Lisandrello
No, REALLY REALLY really.
Nina Dobrev
Phew. Thank you, Nina. You look great. Although the lone seam on her dress being so far off to one side keeps tricking my brain into thinking it has twisted around. I hope nobody went up to her and tried yanking on it.
Daniella Pineda
Daniella is in The Originals. I like the dress. That's... about all I can muster. She was good in the Vampire Diaries episode they used to launch the new show, although I'm not sure I like that Klaus is not super scary anymore.
Willa Holland
This length is awkward. I want to harvest the shoes and reapply them elsewhere.
Aimee Teegarden
Whereas, I love this, but WHY did it have to be a romper? What does a romper achieve except making it harder to void one's bladder?
Paige Turco
Paige (The 100 is not aging. At all. Also, I just found out she's married to Jason O'Mara, from Life On Mars and Terra Nova, and may be known to you as That Guy Network TV Really Wants To Happen But America Isn't Buying It Yet.
Jaime King
I cannot wait for her pregnancy-hiding shenanigans next season. They can just have her deliver ever-larger boxes of baked goods to Lavon's house, which -- wait, what am I saying? Lavon totally bakes all of them himself. ALL OF THEM. P.S.: I like this.
Arielle Kebbel
Well, the Vampire Diaries finale has aired, but I haven't seen it. So I have no idea if it's a spoiler that she's at the upfront, because The CW loves itself some Arielle Kebbel so it is conceivable they're just inviting her because it's inevitable that she will turn up on several more of its shows. I wish I could pull off a sleek white dress so well.
Wayne Brady
Hey, Wayne Brady. You look nice. Are you still dating that girl from The Fresh Beat Band? Because that kind of weirded me out when I read that.
Aisha Tyler
I love her so much, but SOMETHING is up with her hair lately. I mean... that has to be a wig, right? Almost every time I've seen her in the bangs lately, it looks like a wig that hasn't been fitted properly and keeps scooching up too high on her head.
Stephen Amell
This is Arrow, as in, Stands Up Straighter Than.
Natalie Hall
I remember her from All My Children, although now she's on whatever Aimee Teegarden's new show is (Star-Crossed, I guess, though it's not on the fall schedule). And she looks lovely and perfectly CW, so... welcome to the family, Natalie.
Peyton List
It's a testament to how well she's aging that she can be Roger Sterling's ex-trophy-wife on Mad Men and then come back over to the CW and still feel age-appropriate.
Phoebe Tonkin
Hey, she looks pretty darn good. Well played, Tonkin.
Colton Haynes
That is so very, very shiny. It walks the shine. It is a shine tree. It is throwing a shine and cheese party at its house later.
Adelaide Kane
Ladies and gentleman, this is your Mary, Queen of Scots. I can't believe the CW is doing that show, but then again, why the hell not. Let's get saucy up in here, Scotland. Here's hoping her costumes fit better than this dress.
Claire Holt
Thanks to the pelvic wrinkles, I cannot figure out what exactly she is doing with her posture here.
Maggie Q
Her scarf matches her feet. I can't. I'm too tired.
