In the last series of "Vampire Diaries", Stephen sacrificed his sake for Daimon, who, together with Elena, became a man and could live ordinary human life. Bonnie went to travel around the world, Matt thought about the position of the mayor, and Caroline and Rick discovered the school for gifted children (with the help of Claus from the "Ancients").
This is how the fate of their heroes of the "Vampire Diaries" commented on their heroes in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
Candace Accola (Caroline) : "From the point of view of a viewer, a fan of the series and just a fan, it seems to me that the ending was truly emotional and provided us with a decent finale. Of course, something about the final I already knew thanks to the conversation with Julie Plek, but it seemed to me that it was a truly beautiful completion of the eight-year history of heroes, eight years of love, broken hearts, love triangles, death, life and everything that happened on the background".
Matt Davis (Alaric) : "I was very worried about the final. I always take a close to the heart of the return of characters from the past. "
Ian Somerhalder (Damon) : "Well, of course, this is not the ending on which we were calculated with the floor - two brothers in shorts on the beach with a bottle of Roma. It is truly difficult to write the ending - I want to pay to the audience worthy, who together with you visited very doubt. It is even more difficult to try to satisfy everyone's requests, and that is why it seems to me so interesting that people continue to discuss the series final after a long time after their favorite show ended. Make a satisfied is absolutely impossible. "
Zach Reerg (Matt) : "It seems to me, the ending of the series was probably the most difficult scenario, which ever had to write Julie. But she and Kevin (Williamson) did an excellent job. I especially liked how Stefan donated himself - it was a really beautiful gesture, ideal for the final. "
Paul Wesley (Stephen): "I didn't know that Stefan would die - although I repeatedly spoke to the screenwriters, which, in my opinion, I must die precisely Stefan, because this, because of him, his brother became a vampire, and all the murders of Damon are on the conscience of Stephen. Scriptures for months have told me that Stefan will not die. The final script I read on the plane; I thought the first five scenes to myself - "Yeah, this is interesting," I finally got it on the sixth to me - I am also sacrificed, although before that sentimental things in the "Vampire Diaries" never acted for me. It seems to me that the ending was truly powerful. "
Nina Dobrev (Elena): "I am satisfied with how the series ended - the fact that Elena became a man and can live in peace with himself, which she always wanted. She will remain with a man who loves, she got the opportunity to say goodbye to her former love and at the same time with his best friend. On the set I cried a lot. I was not on the final subtraction of the script, and, probably, it is for the better - it seems to me that I would just not stand it. I cried during the final scene with Stephen and Caroline, because she broke my heart. I cried at the very end when I read that Elena again writes in his diary, it was practically the same sentence that I voiced in a pilot episode 8 years ago. "
