“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.” FamilyLove StoryBrotherhoodBrothersDamon SalvatoreThe Vampire DiariesTvdStefan SalvatoreJulie PlecNina Dobrev Book:I Was Feeling Epic: An Oral History of The Vampire Diaries Source: I Was Feeling Epic: An Oral History of The Vampire Diaries
“Kevin Williamson: I thought, "What is this really about?" It's this young girl who is dealing with death. I went, "Okay check that box." It's about how this dead man comes along and brings her back to life. I went "Okay, wouldn't that be lovely? That's certainly what I need right now." And so I used that metaphor and played against the allegory, and Julie and I sat down at a kitchen table and we wrote it and we just cried over it. We tried to find that part of it that was really about Elena trying to learn how to live again. And it worked. It really worked. And in a weird way, the whole show was my Stefan.” LifeDeathGriefAllegoryThe Vampire DiariesTvdElena GilbertStefan SalvatoreKevin Williamson Book:I Was Feeling Epic: An Oral History of The Vampire Diaries Source: I Was Feeling Epic: An Oral History of The Vampire Diaries
