The original end of “ The Vampire Diaries’ would have completely ruined the scenarios of Damon, Elena and Stefan
Not all series are picked up for eight seasons, but Vampire newspapers did. The CW was presented in first in 2009, breaking records of viewers and obtaining a loyal audience. Even with Nina Dobrev Leaving the series at the end of season 6, the series experienced two more seasons after that, which helped develop relationships between other characters. For example, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) Start like brothers and sisters who take pleasure in making themselves miserable. However, throughout the TVD race, their relationship evolves and leads to the story of the ultimate fraternal love of the series. However, according to Samantha Highfill‘s I felt epic: an oral story of vampire newspapers,, The resolution of the series could have seemed entirely different.
The book plunging in stories behind the scenes and revelations never disclosed on the series also discusses the original plans of the showrunners for the final of season 8. Believe it or not, Damon and Elena were not supposed to obtain a happy ending. Co-creator Kevin Williamson shared that he wanted Stefan and Elena to meet in season 8Only so that they are separated in the final of the series. Instead of Damon and Elena come together after Bonnie (Graham cat) is capable of breaking the Sleeping Beauty spell which kept Elena locked in a coffin for two seasons, Damon and Stefan had to die in order to save Elena. At the end of the episode, She would be forced to forget the love she had for the two brothers and to continue her life as a human.
Stefan and Elena were at the end of the game in the original end of the series
Unconditional fans will remember that Elena and Stefan come from a long line of doppelgängers. In season 5, when Silas (Wesley) is presented as one of the oldest vampires to have ever existed, viewers discover that he spent centuries trying to reconnect with his love for a long time Amara (Dobrev). It is because of their love that the doppelgängers were intended to be togetherThis means that it would not be far if Elena and Stefan were at the end of the game. However, the reason why a large part of the TVD fans base supported Damon and Elena’s relationship was because they deceived fate. When Elena chooses Damon rather than Stefan, she mainly goes against the natural inclination that the doppelgängers had to twin.
According to Williamson, the idea was that Dobrev returns for several episodes of season 8So that the romantic reconciliation between Stefan and Elena had enough room to occur. However, given that Dobrev was unable to negotiate his return for the final, he would have been too steep to raise these two characters without appropriate development. “We desperately wanted to bring it back and create a whole scenario that would be a will, they would not do it. In another universe, it would have been the end,” Williamson told Highfill.
The final ‘The Vampire Diaries’ has been changed due to Nina Dobrev’s remuneration negotiations
There is a deeper reason for the return of Dobrev for an episode. The actress left the series in season 6 because she was paid less than her colleagues Co-Stars, Wesley and SomerhalderDespite the fact of Elena and Katherine interchangeably since season 2.. Dobrev had to work more days a week than other distribution members because she should draw scenes twice. Whenever Elena and Katherine are in the same scene, it meant that she had to record the same scene as a character, then go to the other. The reason why Katherine (or even the other Doppelgängers Dobrev was described) was written in season 5, was because the studio refused to increase his salary.
The only condition that Dobrev posed to return for season 8 was to receive an equal salary. Unfortunately, she was unable to get the studio until a single episode. For this reason, the original end of the series was changed in Elena and Damon obtaining their happy ending, while Stefan sacrifices himself so that his brother can find the woman he loves. This altruistic act made for one of the best finals in television historyProvising that Stefan and Damon’s relationship was the most precious love story in TVD. In Highfill’s book, Wesley shares that he was very emotional when he read the final script and thought that the end of the series was powerful. Somerhalder was also satisfied with the resolution of his character, agreeing that The bond of the Salvatore Brothers was at the heart of the show.
The official end of the series highlights the love story of the Salvatore Brothers
The truth is, If Stefan and Elena had gathered in season 8, the brothers would probably have continued in their rift by the final Because they would always fight for the affection of the same woman. If they were to die by protecting Elena, we would not have had the scene where Caroline (Candice King) and Damon speak of knowing if the latter would find his brother in the afterlife. From Damon’s point of view, Stefan was a good person in his essence, and he has always been the black sheep. The last scene in the series present Damon by pronouncing his famous line, “Hello Brother”, after having found Stefan, which could not have done for a more perfect end for the two characters.
The end of Elena is also ideal given the limited time that Dobrev had on screen in season 8. After Elena wakes up in the final, she finds the man she loves and is no longer a vampire. Elena’s only wish in season 1 was to remain human, and although she was transformed into a vampire halfway from the series, her bow made that she again becomes a human and a happy life alongside Damon seems The most satisfactory end for the character of Dobrev. It’s also nice to see Elena find the members of her family that she lost throughout the series race. In the end, she spends life after death alongside her adoptive parents, her biological father, and aunt Jenna (Sara Canning). Like Wesley and Somerhalder, Dobrev told Highfill that she was satisfied with the end of the show. “I cried at the end when I read that Elena wrote again in the newspaper, when Elena essentially said the same sentence I made in the pilot eight years ago,” she said.
Well considered, Vampire newspapers‘The official end was for better. Although it would have been good to bring back Dobrev for the whole season, to be paid what she rightly deserved, the original end would not have given way to key moments that brought out the final of the series. Of Stefan sacrificing himself for his brother and meeting with him in the afterlife in Elena to live the rest of his life as a human next to the person she loves, The main trio obtained the final treatment which made the most meaning for their characters And fans could not have been happier.
