"The Vampire Diaries" alum Nina Dobrev and cast member Candice Accola recently opened up about Elena Gilbert's fate in Season 6.
During last season's finale episode, the characters on "The Vampire Diaries" bid Elena goodbye. The emotional scene featured everyone crying their hearts out. However, during an interview with TV Insider, Dobrev and Accola revealed that the mood backstage wasn't that emotional.
"I'm pretty sure at one point during this scene in the finale, I had fallen into such a deep sleep that I started snoring. That was awkward. But everyone laughed - as family would," Dobrev said.
Meanwhile, Accola shared how difficult it was to stay focused during her goodbye scene with Dobrev.
"At first, we were giggling like slumber-party schoolgirls. We kept trading funny stories about the six years we worked together. Then we'd get sentimental and start crying," she said.
During a separate interview with People back in May, Dobrev revealed that the her co-stars pulled a prank on her during her last day on the set of "The Vampire Diaries."
"It was 2 o'clock in the morning on my last shot of my last scene with Ian Somerhalder and they asked for one more take. The camera operator came up to me and said, 'Hey, you have something in your hair, let me get this out.' And then he grabbed me, held down my arms so I couldn't move and the entire crew came up and dumped a kiddie pool of whipped cream and cake onto my head! They had decorations and Nerf guns and water guns, and I just got demolished," she shared.
"The Vampire Diaries" may have seen the exit of Dobrev's character Elena but executive producer Julie Plec promised fans that so much will be in store for fans. The upcoming season will premiere on The CW on October 11.
