“Julie Plec: She's staring up longingly and you realize this is a character that wants something, that needs something emotionally. She is being driven by a deeply personal want here, and that sort of became the rule on the show that if you have a villain, the villain has to be the hero of their own story, they have to have a deeply personal rooting interest. That's the moment where I fell in love with Katherine as a hero of her own story. I had so much empathy for her in that moment.”

“Julie Plec: Those episodes are always so fun to do because you know you're building the entire episode around an event. To be able to lean hard into a big, beautiful romantic wedding knowing that at the end of the next episode, half of those people would be dead, was great. We love that; we love taking happiness and then destroying it very quickly.”

“Take this of me, Red thinks. Carry it in yourself, a root fed by what would kill it. Carry hunger all your days. Let it guard you, guide you, save you.”

“Julie Plec: It just made me realize: This is the love story right here. Because we knew Nina was leaving by then, so this is the love story; these brothers are the love story.”

“It's all for the love of a show that was not easy to make—what with the night shoots, the complex mythology, and the sheer number of episodes-and was only made more difficult by the passion of those working on it, individuals who were simply unwilling to make anything less than the best show they could. It was that passion, as writers, actors, crew members, executives, and everyone constantly strove for excellence, that solidified The Vampire Diaries' smart, sexy, shocking, scary, sad, wonderful, amazing, and, above all, epic legacy.”
