Venerdì si è conclusa, dopo otto stagioni, la serie
The Vampire Diaries che aveva come protagonisti
Ian Somerhalder e
Paul Wesley nel ruolo dei fratelli
Damon e
Stefan Salvatore, e
Nina Dobrev in quello di
Elena Gilbert.
Il cast ha pubblicato online il proprio addio allo show in occasione della messa in onda della puntata.
L'interprete di Elena ha condiviso una foto dell'inizio dell'avventura nello show, sottolineando come siano tutti invecchiati ma il trucco li abbia aiutati a non farlo notare troppo. Nina ha quindi fatto un brindisi agli otto, meravigliosi, anni trascorsi sul set.
La Dobrev ha inoltre ringraziato Julie Plec e Kevin Williamson per aver creduto in lei e averle dato un'opportunità che le ha cambiato la vita.
My undead brothers... I thought vampires weren't supposed to age. Lol. We definitely don't look the same after 8 years, but the make up helped. Raising a glass to celebrate 8 wonderful seasons together, it has been such a beautiful (and liver damaging) adventure knowing you all. Cheers family. ??? #TVDForever

My creators. I love you more than my parents. (Don't tell my parents). What a journey this has been. From the moment I met you, we became a family we began a journey that will last a life time. I'm eternally grateful for your support and love, this opportunity has been life changing and I owe it it all to you. Thank you for believing in me every step of the way. From the first audition, to the screen tests, to the fang fittings, to the time you made me a vampire, killed me (multiple times), brought me back to life (multiple times), put me into a coma and then brought me back one final time. I grew up on this show that we joked was "Twilight for TV". You are and will forever be my family. #TVDforever

Anche Sara ha condiviso delle immagini che mostrano i bei momenti trascorsi insieme agli altri membri del cast, e ha rivelato di essere felice quando i fan la fermano per strada chiamandola Zia Jenna.
Would you take a look at these kids! And the rest of the dear cast and crew not in these frames. Feeling nostalgic today and grinning to have been part of it. Thank you to all who watched and cared to know these characters. I'll never tire of hearing "...Excuse me... Aunt Jenna?" I will always appreciate your kind (and often tremendously passionate) thoughts about Jenna's story in the grand scheme of things. And I'll always count myself lucky to have had this experience. Congrats to all who made The Vampire Diaries! #tvdseriesfinale #TVDforever

Paul Wesley ha condiviso un'immagine che risale al 2010 in cui è ritratto accanto all'interprete di Elena, e uno scatto che lo mostra insieme a Somerhalder.
In honor of the final ep of VD airing tonight, here's a throwback pic of me and smoldeypants conspiring on an airplane 8 years ago.

Candice ha inoltre scritto un messaggio rivolto a se stessa, ma nella versione di otto anni fa, in cui sottolinea:
"So che le cose sembrano difficili e ti senti persa. Credi in te stessa. Credi nel tuo percorso. Perché sta per avvenire una svolta nella tua vita. Tutto cambierà. Lo amerai. Apprezza ogni secondo perché finirà troppo in fretta".
Dear Candice, I know things seem hard and you feel lost. Trust in yourself. Trust in your journey. For it is just about to take a turn into a new direction in your life. Everything will change. You will love it. Drink up every second. For it will go by too fast. Sincerely, Candice #tvdforever

L'attrice ha pubblicato anche un'immagine del dietro le quinte in cui scherza sul fatto che non condivide mai il cibo.
Behind the scenes of one of our many cast read throughs #tvdforever A LOT of laughs and snacks shared in that conference room. (Except for me I don't share snacks...)

La Dobrev ha quindi rivolto un pensiero alle sue amiche e colleghe, spiegando come le loro vite sono cambiate nel corso degli otto anni trascorsi e perché è così orgogliosa di loro.
We started out as fetuses. Now we are women. The trips, adventures, and laughter I have shared with these beautiful souls makes me tear with joy. I love them more than I could ever explain or begin to put into words. Each of these photos is from season 1. We were all so young, and SO excited about the new and exciting show we had booked. And even more excited that we got to be a part of it together. It felt like we had this awesome little secret, no one had seen Vampire Diaries yet. But we couldn't wait to spill the beans, for the pilot to air so people could see it. We hoped so much that people would like it. Prayed that it would be a success and continue for many years. We got our wish. 8 seasons later, some are engaged, some married and some have fetuses of their own. These are incredible women and forces to be reckoned with. I'm so proud of you all. #FlowerPower #TVDForever

La protagonista ha raccontato che durante le riprese del pilot, insieme a Zach Roerig, andavamo in montagna a fare snowboard e sono diventati rapidamente grandi amici, rischiando di essere licenziati e di rompersi qualche ossa.
?8 years ago, this fool and I boarded a plane to Vancouver to shoot a pilot. We didn't know eachother, b?ut we BOTH only brought 1 carry on and then a snowboard bag as checked luggage. During the weeks we would shoot 15 hour days, and on Fridays we filmed through the night until we wrapped at 6am and went straight from set to Whistler mountain to hit the slopes and shred the terrain park. We became fast friends. And almost got fired. Luckily we survived to the bitter end with out any broken bones (surprisingly) and now 8 years later we have a show that we're proud of and a friendship that will last a life time. And yes, that is a real camera. It's been THAT long. The selfie has come a long way since then.... @zach_roerig #TVDForever
