Nina Dobrev Understands Elena’s Decision On ‘Vampire Diaries’

Ali — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:14:35 +0000

If you haven’t watched last night AMAZING season finale of The Vampire Diaries I recommend waiting to read this article that was posted on MTV.com.

‘Diaries’ star tells MTV News about her character’s game-changing decision on Thursday night’s season finale.

Warning: spoilers ahead!

As the episode, titled “The Departed,” came to a close, a tear-filled Elena told Damon that while she cared for him, her one true love is his good-guy brother, Stefan.

“I understand why she made the decision,” Nina Dobrev told MTV News about her character Thursday night in New York. “I respect her decision, and I think, having seen the last three years, what’s happened in her life, everyone will also. They may not be happy, half the people will not be happy regardless, but they’ll get it, and it’s her decision at the end of the day.”

And, the drama didn’t end there: After Elena broke the news to Damon, she and her friend Matt drove off the same bridge her parents did years before, their car sinking into the river.

Much like that other time, Stefan plunges into the water to save her, except she sacrifices herself to save her pal. Cut to the very last second of the episode, where her dead body lies still while Stefan looks on, mourning her loss. But, nothing is what it seems, and her eyes open. Little did anyone know, she had vampire blood in her, courtesy of Dr. Meredith Fell, from a previous injury.

Dobrev said “it doesn’t matter” what she thinks Elena should have done, adding, “I have absolutely no say in who she chooses or how that all goes down. That’s a Julie Plec question.”

Well, Plec, the show’s executive producer, said that for Elena, life as a vampire is a distinct possibility. “The ending had been in the works for about two years,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “It felt like now was the time — when you’re left with no grownup, no adult supervision, no parent, no guardian — for Elena to experience the next evolution of her journey.”

Over the course of season three, Elena certainly faced a number of hardships, including the loss of her mentor, vampire hunter Alaric. “All the stuff that we did with having her get stronger over the course of the year, training and getting in touch with her physical self, and all the grief and all the emotion that she went through, all the compassion that she has for everybody, it will all play into next year and what kind of person and vampire she will actually be — if she should choose to see the transition through,” Plec explained.

So, will she transition? The executive producer noted, “There will be a discussion to be had about it at the beginning, but the road we’re going down is pretty balls out.”

Got Milk: Like Her, Like Me

The official poster from Nina’s Got Milk campaign has been released … so cute!

“My mom and I are especially close — we’ve learned a lot from each other. Growing up, my mom would make us oatmeal with milk; we’d spend time together as a family during breakfast which is, hands down, the most important meal of the day. Through the ‘Like Her, Like Me’program, we want to inspire moms and teens to share more special moments and healthy habits — whether they’re swapping stories over a glass of milk or bonding at breakfast.”

Vampire Diaries Star Teases Finale’s Final Moments: “It’s a Mindblow!”

Ali — Thu, 10 May 2012 13:15:12 +0000

Michael Trevino talks about tonight’s finale and about Tyler & Caroline.

Is Tyler (Michael Trevino) leaving Mystic Falls…again?!

It’s no secret that The Vampire Diaries isn’t afraid to send off its beloved characters, none more so than Tyler, the hybrid who seems to take an annual retreat away from Mystic Falls each season. But will Tyler be making his next exit from town a more permanent one? And will he be bringing girlfriend Caroline (Candice Accola) away with him?

“As far as Caroline and Tyler, it’s a life-changing decision because they have been outed and everyone knows about them. You would think that Tyler would take a page out of the book he always goes to, which is maybe we should just leave town for a little bit!” Trevino teases. “I think it’s them together this time, now that Klaus is completely gone, do they stay in Mystic Falls and ride it our or do they leave town for a while or do they leave town and not come back?” Mystic Falls without Caroline and Tyler? We shudder at the thought!

‘Vampire Diaries’ season finale preview: Nina Dobrev on her tears, Elena’s choice, and fan’s reactions

Ali — Thu, 10 May 2012 12:54:15 +0000

Tonight is the season finale of The Vampire Diaries and I know we are all wondering what is going to happen and who Elena will choose. Well Nina Dobrev is not telling … heck she didn’t even tell her own mother but she did give us some insights thanks to her interview with Mandi Bierly from EW.com.

If you think you’re going to get Nina Dobrev to tell you who Elena chooses — Stefan (Paul Wesley) or Damon (Ian Somerhalder) — in tonight’s season finale of The Vampire Diaries, think again: She hasn’t even told her mother. “She lives between Canada and Europe, so I don’t get to see my mom very much. Her way to kind of be with me is watching the show and Googling me wherever I am,” Dobrev says, with a laugh. “So on many occasions, she calls and asks for spoilers and I’ll always say, ‘Nope! Nope! I’m not telling you anything.’ She always gets a little bit upset at the time, but then ultimately, she’s happy that I didn’t ruin it for her. It’s like the way I don’t want to know what happens in an episode before I read it. You don’t want to get to the punch line before you hear the joke.”

Of course, the Vampire Diaries season finales, while sure to have some nice one-liners, aren’t typically remembered for their guffaws. It’s more like murder, mayhem, and tears (which is exactly what EP Julie Plec told us to expect this year). Season 3?s twist-filled final hour will be gut wrenching, Dobrev says. ”Especially at the end, there’s a huge twist that even we didn’t expect when we were reading it. And it actually changed. We started shooting the episode, and they changed it before we shot [the ending] to something completely different,” she says. “It’s sad. When I was watching parts of it in ADR the other day, I almost started crying. The people who are loyal fans and live and breathe with the characters are gonna really feel it at the end of this episode.”

As those devoted viewers know, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) — who insists he’s at the start of our heroes’ vampire bloodline, which means they can’t kill him or they, too, will die — is now lying desiccated in a coffin on his way to being dropped into the Atlantic Ocean by the Salvatore Brothers. Klaus had tried to drain Elena of all her blood, which he needs to make his hybrid army, because if she dies, otherwise immortal Alaric (Matt Davis) will die, too. Everyone wants Alaric dead now that he’s determined to stake all four remaining Originals so all vampires will die. We also know from the promo that at least two of Klaus’ three remaining siblings, Rebekah (Claire Holt) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies), are back in town. “The whole season up until this point, it’s been the Originals versus the regular vampires and the humans. And now it’s all coming to a head. Somebody — if not multiple people — has to die in order to save others.

It’s a war to survive,” Dobrev says. “Elijah represents the Originals and he’s gonna try to make sure none of the Originals die, whereas the humans are trying to make sure the vampires they’ve befriended and grown to love don’t die. So everyone’s just trying to look out for themselves and continue the bloodline.” That could explain why the hospital — where we’ll find Elena after she hit her head during last week’s Klaus scuffle and later fell unconscious — won’t be the safest place for her. Presumably, the Originals will want her dead, and Alaric will want to keep her with him so he can keep her alive (until he needs to kill her to commit suicide, of course). One Salvatore brother will have to return immediately to protect her, and the other will continue with Operation Dump Klaus, which apparently doesn’t go according to plan since we’ve seen a clip of Damon taking Bonnie to Klaus’ coffin in a storage facility.

While we debate what’s going to happen in the present, we’ll also get to learn more about the past through flashbacks to Elena’s life before the Wickery Bridge car accident that killed her parents and Stefan saved her from drowning. Dobrev won’t say whether we’ll actually see Stefan’s rescue, but she offers this about those flashbacks, which feature Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning) as well as Elena’s parents, Grayson (Jason MacDonald) and Miranda Gilbert (Erin Beute): “They really show you the relationship they had, and it makes the end of the episode and the whole car accident so much more tragic, and visceral, and sad,” she says. “When you see the back story, you see how happy they were. You see how much her life has changed, and how so much can change in one second.” She also says that’s the same cheerleading outfit she wore in season 1: “But it’s funny, it definitely didn’t fit the same two years later,” she adds, laughing, “and I didn’t feel as secure in it. Two years ago, I felt like such a baby, and just like my character, I feel like I’ve become more of a woman, and I’ve filled out in places where I wasn’t endowed before.”

“The whole theme of the episode is about time and change, and making decisions and letting go based on the maturity that you gain from experiences good or bad,” Dobrev says. So yes, it all comes back to Elena’s decision. “As we approach the end of the episode,” Plec says, “we’ll put Elena in that situation where there’s only one brother that she can see in a very important moment, and she needs to decide which one of those brothers it is.” How does Dobrev think the show’s notoriously passionate and vocal fans will react? “I think half of them are sitting at the edge of their seats hoping and praying that she’ll choose Stefan, and the other half is doing the same for Damon. But I think that ultimately, they’re going to respect her decision and understand where she’s coming from and why she makes it.”
