'The Vampire Diaries' Finale Scoop: EP Julie Plec on Getting a Sense of Closure

'The Vampire Diaries' Finale Scoop: EP Julie Plec on Getting a Sense of Closure

It’s hard to believe that The Vampire Diaries will air its final episode tomorrow night after eight years on our television screens.

We’re definitely not ready to say goodbye to our favorite Mystic Falls residents, but we’re excited to see how the story ends.

We caught up with executive producer Julie Plec, who gave us some scoop about what we can expect in the final hour. Check it out below.

Don’t forget – The Vampire Diaries series finale airs Friday, March 10 @ 8PM on The CW.

JJJ: You and [fellow EP] Kevin Williamson had written an ending to the show years ago. Did you deviate from that at all? And if you didn’t, were you temped to?

Julie Plec: We did deviate from it, plot-wise because things change over eight years, not the least of which is Nina leaving after season six, which made certain things difficult – in terms of getting ourselves to that ending, what we had planned. But mostly I think, we landed in season two where we had the epiphany of an emotional response we wanted to evoke when we brought the series to a close, and we absolutely stayed true to that.

JJJ: At what point did you decide to kill someone off in the finale? Tell me about that decision.

JP: It just sort of felt that when you’re dealing with life and death things – in this case, will Mystic Falls burn? Will it survive? – someone is going to have to be murdered in the fight against the bad guy. So there were a lot of discussions about who that should be. And the choice of who it was, was made entirely out of character, bringing a character full circle to its proper conclusion.

Klaus & Caroline Will Not Be Ignored in 'The Vampire Diaries' Series Finale

Klaus & Caroline Will Not Be Ignored in 'The Vampire Diaries' Series Finale

If you’re a fan of Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Caroline (Candice King) as a couple on The Vampire Diaries, rest assured that the writers won’t leave you hanging.

We recently caught up with executive producer Julie Plec, who confirmed that the fan-favorite couple Klaroline will be referenced in some way in the upcoming series finale.

“All I can say is…look, here’s the thing. There’s a lot of battling and warring in the shipping fandom over Caroline’s future and who she’s meant to be with,” Julie told us. “All we wanted to do was basically say, look, this was a relationship that was important to us too, so we’re not going to ignore it.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean Caroline is going to run off with Klaus. She is married to Stefan (Paul Wesley), after all. But it’s nice to know that the writers wanted to honor that relationship before all is said and done.

“We are fans of the show of the too, as writers, and we want to see each character and each relationship come to its proper end, however we want to define that,” Julie said. “And we thought long and hard about these decisions. We feel, as fans, we enjoy how it ends and we hope other people can see that too.”

The Vampire Diaries series finale airs Friday, March 10 @ 8PM on The CW.

Here's How Bonnie & Elena Could Both Survive in 'The Vampire Diaries'

Here's How Bonnie & Elena Could Both Survive in 'The Vampire Diaries'

*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

If you’re a hard-core, true blue The Vampire Diaries fan, you may have had some, well, concerns about Elena (Nina Dobrev) waking up for the series finale.

We know that Bonnie (Kat Graham)’s heart stops in The Vampire Diaries, but now we know that that doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing her life for Elena’s.

Elena’s life is tied to Bonnie’s, so viewers thought in order for Elena to come back to life, Bonnie would have to die… and the writers wouldn’t do that. Right?

Well, yes and no.

Being The Vampire Diaries, it’s all about the loopholes. The new preview reveals that Bonnie dies for just a moment, long enough for Elena to, you know, casually climb out of her casket.

And then we all get the heartfelt reunion between Elena and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) below, which you’re lying if you’re not looking forward to. (It’s okay. We’re crying, too.)

The series finale airs tomorrow, March 10, on The CW.

We finally have some insight into how Elena (Nina Dobrev) returns in the series finale of The Vampire Diaries.

In this new clip, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) are lamenting over Katherine.

“Katherine won,” Damon says. “She played the long game and finally beat us.”

They walk in to see an empty casket and that’s when Stefan tells Damon that Bonnie’s (Kat Graham) heart stopped beating and she saw Elena.

Cut to Elena in the doorway. “Damon?”

Read Stefan & Caroline's Wedding Vows on 'The Vampire Diaries' #Steroline

Is anyone else just a complete wreck after Caroline and Stefan’s wedding vows to each other on The Vampire Diaries tonight?

The meant-to-be couple, played by Paul Wesley and Candice King, wrote their own vows for each other for their nuptials and they were nothing short of romantic.

Read both of their vows below:

Stefan: “Caroline, you’ve been my friend, my conscious, my sounding board, my sunlight when all I saw was darkness. You saved me from despair. You told me once that I would fall in love without even realizing it and that’s what happened. Day by day, bit by bit, year by year…with you.”

Caroline: “I remember saying to you, we were dancing at my prom…funny all the things we remember as all the years go by… I remember how you told me when I was ready for you, you would be ready for me. I’m ready now. I think a part of me has been ready for this day since the moment I first saw you. The new mystery guy, in the hallway at school. I will always remember this moment. 100 years from now. I will remember this moment. For the both of us.”

Paul Wesley opened up about Stefan and Caroline as a couple in a recent interview, revealing that this relationship was definitely the one for Stefan.

“But I never knew that they would be equally as powerful as a couple. So it was equally surprising to me.”
