'Vampire Diaries' stars shoot down a future revival: 'It's good to close this chapter'

Vampires may be immortal, but Tv suggests aren’t.

And, after 8 seasons of dopplegangers, witches, werewolf-vampire hybrids, now not-quite-lifeless mother and father and all the different bags that our favorite forever-younger Salvatore brothers added with them once they returned to their local Mystic Falls, Virginia, it’s time to close the coffin at the Vampire Diaries.

“This display is all the time going to be ingrained in my persona, that is a first-rate deal,” says Paul Wesley, who plays always brooding youngster Stefan Salvatore contrary Ian Somerhalder’s cocky older bro, Damon. “I didn’t sign up for that once I walked into the audition, but I am very thankful for it and it is amazing.”

The two actors joined co-stars Zach Roerig, who performs token human Matt Donovan, and Michael Malarkey, who performs (now) dearly departed vampire Enzo St. John, to mirror at the CW collection and its forthcoming finale during a press convention last week in West Hollywood.

One apparent question from journalists was what the solid should say about the go back of Nina Dobrev. The series’ unique superstar performed excellent-as opposed to-evil lookalikes – and common paramours for the Salvatore brothers — Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce, before 
However, as few ever truely live useless on this show, it have to be stated that Elena’s currently in a coma and could simplest awaken while exceptional pal Bonnie (Kat Graham) shuffles off this mortal coil, even as the penultimate episode revealed that Katherine has devised a plan to return from hell and are seeking for vengeance on Mystic Falls.
“I think it would be very peculiar to now not have Nina come lower back for the finale,” Wesley says. “It’s like the entire story is about  brothers, essentially; the crux of it is  brothers combating over a woman. I mean, there’s a zillion other storylines, but I felt like it'd were a real disgrace for the lovers and for the display to no longer wrap that up to a point.”


 That stated, there is at the least one extensive dying within the collection finale, which airs March 10. We don't know an awful lot, however Wesley teases that “it’s definitely a major character.”

Somerhalder provides that, as an alum of ABC’s Misplaced, he is aware of you may never please anybody however that he thinks “there’s a totally beautiful orchestration to how this became laid out.”

Even though it become often noted all through the Q&A simply how many episodes there are within the collection – 171, to be actual – there have been, shockingly, some testimonies and time periods nonetheless left unexplored. Somerhalder would've appreciated to see his character at a Rolling Stones live performance and Wesley wished for greater visiting; pondering, “What have been we doing inside the '70s? What had been we doing within the '80s? [I wish we’d done] some thing a touch greater current, but nevertheless [a] flashback.”

Wesley and Somerhalder percentage an affinity for “Misplaced Girls,” the sixth episode in the first season and the one that offers a flashback to how their characters’ rivalry began (Katherine is involved, of path). Wesley provides that he also cherished Season 3 as that’s whilst audiences were given to peer a darker facet of Stefan; a twist because, as he places it “I have died 17 times and killed 18,000 human beings, and I'm nonetheless the hero!”

all of us on the panel except Malarkey has been with the display on the grounds that its inception – Wesley turned into the final one cast and Roerig even remembers seeing pix of him and other ability Stefans on Dobrev’s smartphone when they were filming the pilot – and the original actors acknowledge that the show simply struck a nerve instantly out of the gate.

The Vampire Diaries, that's primarily based on the young adult books created by using L.J. Smith, premiered at the height of the vampire boom during the aughts. By the time its first episode aired in 2009, the Twilight saga had already made film stars out of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and HBO’s tons greater NC-17 Actual Blood became introducing us to vocabulary like “fangbanger” and “glamouring.” however do the actors sense any pleasure over the reality that their undead drama has outlasted its competition?

 Somerhalder deadpans that it "depends on if it [we] outlived it via virtue of shoving it down all of us’s faces, and the marketplace wasn’t always asking for it,” while the others argue that this specific vein of supernatural stories will by no means go out of favor.

“You need to revamp a genre on the way to validate it coming back,” says Malarkey. “So I assume if it does swing lower back in, it’ll be exceptional.”

If we do see some other vampire resurgence, though, it’ll must be with a person else. Despite the fan fervor over reboots like Gilmore Girls: A 12 months inside the Life and the imminent Prison Smash revival, don’t come calling on Wesley and Somerhalder for a Vampire Diaries movie.

“In 10 years, I'm going to be residing probable on a ranch in Wyoming and you'll never hear from me again,” Somerhalder says. “I suppose it's proper to close this bankruptcy … Now in this digital age, tv in no way dies. it's referred to as Netflix.”
