Julie Plec speaks about the drama of Stefan's Doppleganger, Jeremy and Damon's happiness

SPOILER ALERT

The Vampire Diaries has done it again, in the season's finale, "Graduation", we knew that there would happen two things:  the band would graduated in a poignant scene that held their history together. Elena should again make a choice between Damon and Stefan. One of the characters who had died previously would return from death. And, of course, we knew that someone would take the cure for vampirism and become human. But while we were busy wondering who would take the cure and who was going to spend the summer with Elena, we forgot one of the mysteries of the season: Why Silas did not let anyone see his true face?, the answer was one of the most amazing twists of the finale... and was only one of many. Zap2it speaks with executive producer Julie Plec about the shocking end of the season.

1. Silas has a doppleganger - and it's Stefan. Yes, Petrova women aren't the only ones who have the Doppelganger charm in her blood. All the complicated mysteries about the legend of Silas, their goals and their skills were finally understood. Thanks to a fissure in a spell, Silas came to life, revealing that the own spell of immortality also had a crack: doppelgangers. Silas and Stefan share the same face. Stefan is the doppelganger of Silas, and is now caught in a safety deposit box at the bottom of the ocean.


This is a story in which they have been working for more than a year. "Last year, when the season 3 ended, we continued with a small group of writers and we stayed for five weeks, to try to break the big features of season 4. Last year, more or less at this point, the history of the Doppelganger occurred to us" explains the executive producer Julie Plec.

There were some complications by introducing another Doppelganger character. In the season 2 and the beginning of season 3, when Nina Dobrev played both Katherine and Elena regularly ended up totally tired physically. Some of those who make the decisions behind "The Vampire Diaries" they were worried about playing two characters having similar consequences in Paul Wesley.

"We had to convince a lot of different by how it would work and what could make it work," says Julie. "So not we end up in a situation similar to that of Katherine and Elena, where Nina was exhausted to the point not to get out of bed, since it accidentally had a work excess. Creatively, everybody was very excited about the Doppelgänger Silas, was only a matter of time or which led us to consolidate it, knowing it was that basically what we were going to do".

For the moment, Paul is not worried about working too much - he is excited to face a new challenge in the series. "He is very happy," laughs Julie. "Interpreting the right hero is not always the most exciting work for an actor, and Stefan, of all our heroes, is the more correct series. We have the opportunity to deepen in its heartbreaking side at times, but for Paul, those moments are very few to be able to deepen his art, and a lot of other times thinks that simply your hair's hero is arranging. So, obviously, he is very excited about this, and has supported him all the time. He dies because Stefan is a moron, is evil, be the bad guy, to be able to stretch his muscles".

And on the 5th season, without doubt he will do it.

2. Jeremy Gilbert's resurrection - On the Vampire Diaries, the fans are used to characters who die - and, in some ocations, are seen afterwards, as a vampire or as a ghost. Even so, it has surprise us (pleasently!) about knowning that Jeremy will come from death permanently, mainly because his goodbye episode was heartbreaking. It didn't concern the writers that his resurrection would dull the impact of his beautiful and memorable farewell?

"Is something which we had talked a lot", says Julie. "Our intention, in a starting, was to say him goodbye in a permanent way. But then there were so much questions about the power of this girl by loosing her only family alive. It was very important for her travel in that moment. That big tragedy united with that is really sad and depressing".

Even if Jeremy had to die to drive to Elena in the next phase of his life as a vampire, the writers realized quickly that it would be impossible to bring it back from that point dark and desperate tragedy in his life unless they revivieran Jeremy. Without it, Elena was a long and dark tunnel towards the depression - and would only the 5th season was very lively.

"We discuss much, in sale of writers - could bring successfully turn this character without making it a crappy way?" Ultimately, I believe that the form in which it is conducted, feels like a natural end of season gift for a character who has gone through so many things ", explains.

Now Elena has a chance of a little happiness in season 5. "Have to turn Jeremy revives it, somehow, at a point where you can go on with their lives and live like the Elena we know", says Julie. It is wise, because he knows that some viewers are not satisfied with the fissure in the history that represents that Jeremy has returned to the land of the living. "Basically, you can see something and say, ' well, that's a return, it is not fair", but emotionally, I think, is a good thing. We crushed by this. As we shall see. I hope that the people are so happy to see our Elena to redirect his life, that accept it".

3 Bonnie will still participate in the stories - Jeremy did not exactly with a travel free to the land of the living. Bonnie sacrificed herself in order to bring it back to Elena, and now is trapped beyond the veil - invisible to all, with the exception of Jeremy.

It is without doubt a tragic loss, but don't worry, fans of Bonnie. Kat Graham will remain an important part of the series. "" This is what I say about Bonnie: I have not personally seen "Being Human", but I do know that they have a ghost character that works quite successfully in that series ', says Julie."This isn't the last we've seen of Bonnie. "Of course, she will be there in the middle of the story of the next season, only that with some new complications."

4 Time Delena! -Return to Jeremy his life again, Bonnie essentially also gave Elena his life.Without the bond of medium, nor their pain and their lack of humanity, Elena finally came to assess his love life without interruption - and she chose to be with Damon. "In death, you who made me feel more alive", Elena told him. Followed by a kiss! Now, with her vampire beside her boyfriend, she might be able to enjoy College.

They have been difficult for Damon years when it's her love life - but Julie tells us that now is the time that has some legitimate joy in your life. 'Yes. Of course,"she says. "We'll get to see Damon trying to be a good boyfriend, and although it will not be easy, it will do whatever it takes to make it work, and they will have a real chance of being happy."

5. And what about Katherine? -This season, we've seen a more vulnerable side of the Miss Katerina Petrova. She spent most of the year running. When she finally opened and fell in love with Elijah, he rejected it in order to have a fresh start with his family. And then, in a moment of weakness, allowed that Elena got to take advantage in a major clash in the halls of the Institute. Elena, driven by very human emotions, pushed the cure in the Katherine gorge. More Katherine fears about the mortality. Elena gave it to her.

But do not expect that Katherine again is in plan Elena now that she doesn't have to drink blood to survive. "As a human being, she is still very, very bad", jokes Julie. "In any case, she feels silly for being vulnerable at a time, and is taking this frustration of its own vulnerability in Helena. If Elena is going after her, Katherine is still ready to kick his ass."
