"The Cure" in The Vampire Diaries is a powerful serum that turns vampires human again, and it's passed among characters like Elena Gilbert, Damon Salvatore, Katherine Pierce, Silas, and Amara, with Stefan ultimately giving it to Damon in the finale to save him from Hellfire, fulfilling a promise to Rebekah. The cure has a complicated journey, being sought by many for a human life, while others see it as a weapon, with its presence causing rapid aging if drained from a vampire.
Stefan decides to take the human cure from his own veins, making him age faster and eventually, reach death. While Damon is already holding onto Katherine while waiting for the hellfire to kill both of them, Stefan injects the cure to Damon. Stefan saves Damon, who is now a human, and dies with Katherine.
They eventually rekindle their relationship, Elena takes the cure that Bonnie gave Damon. At Alaric's wedding, Kai ruins their wedding and casts a sleeping spell on Elena, linking her life to Bonnie's. She makes a sacrifice to let Bonnie live out her life until it is her turn.
In I'd Leave My Happy Home For You, Elena takes the cure and becomes human again. She regains her memories of her previous relationship with Damon back as one of the things that the cure affects is stripping away the compulsion she had Alaric do at her request in Yellow Ledbetter.
But then in Season 8 we saw Bonnie only take a syringe-full of Elena's blood and that extracted the Cure from her because she then turned Stefan back into a human successfully. The same happened when Stefan then extracted it from himself to turn Damon human.
Dominic Toretto had a brief fling with Elena Neves, but how does the Elena Fast and Furious timeline line up with the rest of the franchise concerning Dom's son? Despite Dom's romantic history with Letty Ortiz throughout the Fast & Furious franchise, he became a father to Elena's baby.
The saddest deaths in The Vampire Diaries are subjective but consistently include Stefan Salvatore, Sheriff Liz Forbes, Jenna Sommers, Enzo St. John, Lexi Branson, Jo Laughlin, and Elena Gilbert's first death, often cited for their emotional impact, devastating effects on loved ones (especially Caroline & Bonnie), and the permanent loss they represented for characters like Stefan and Enzo. These deaths are memorable due to their tragic circumstances, such as Liz's cancer, Jenna's sacrifice, or Stefan's ultimate selfless act, making them major turning points in the series.
Tatia, originating in the 10th century AD, was the first true doppelgänger following Amara's immortality. She is a member of the Petrova doppelgängers, a lineage initiated by Amara, the eldest known forebear of the Petrova Family.
In the season four finale of The Vampire Diaries, Graduation, Katherine slept with Niklaus Mikaelson and conceived her daughter, Adyelya.
Eight years after The Vampire Diaries came to its conclusion, costars Arielle Kebbel and Zach Roerig—who played Lexi Branson and Matt Donovan, respectively, on the series—revealed their relationship has taken a turn for the romantic and are now dating.
As long as the cure remains in Damon and no one's drains it from him, he will age like a normal human. Stefan didn't stay around long enough to age & die. Damon apparently did not have his blood drained after he took the cure (which is the most unbelievable aspect of the series).
During seasons 7 and 8, Stefan develops a growing relationship with Caroline which only grows after she and Alaric end their romantic relationship. The two become engaged and later marry.
And ultimately, Dobrev made the decision to walk away after season six. However, she returned for the series finale in 2017 but even that was limited due to salary disputes. "The reason we couldn't have her for more than the one episode," Plec said, "is because they just wouldn't pay."
The sleeping spell she's locked in stops her aging. But that is just temporary immortality, which means that the only thing stopping her from aging 60-odd years will be the cure in her blood.
Stefanie Rose Salvatore is a recurring character on Legacies and a former guest starring character on The Originals. Stefanie is the witch daughter of Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert, the younger sister of Jenna, Grayson, and Bennett Salvatore, and the older sister of Sarah Salvatore.
Silas is one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Arcadius) of The Vampire Diaries. He is a very distant ancestor of Damon and Stefan Salvatore and of the Salvatore family bloodline. Silas was a very powerful warlock who became a true immortal, predating the Mikealson family by over 1,000 years.
Klaus is the father of Hope, whose mother is Hayley, and the adopted father of Marcel Gerard, an orphan boy he rescued and eventually turned into a vampire.
Julie Plec confirmed that Klaus is the origin of the bloodline Stefan, Damon, Caroline and Elena are from. It is possible to unlink a vampire from their bloodline using magic. This was successfully performed on Klaus by Davina.
Premise. Legacies follows Hope Mikaelson, the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall, who is descended from some of the most powerful ancient, original vampires, werewolf, and witch bloodlines.
In past episodes, it was revealed that Tatia was the original Petrova (not a doppelganger) and that because her blood was used to place the curse upon Klaus, it spawned the line of doppelgangers - Katherine and Elena.
The first vampire would have been Mikael, as it was Ester's spell that created vampirism and he was the one who was turned first (followed by Rebekah and then the rest of the mikealson children). Ester turned Mikael first to ensure the spell worked before they performed it on their children.
Okay, so Rayna Cruz (Huntress) was supposed to be another doppelganger. Damon states it a couple of times. My question is, why would the writers bother with it when Nina wasn't there to play her anymore? On one hand, we had the narrative trying to convince us that Rayna and Elena look exactly alike.
The most formidable-yet-likeable TVD villain of all time was none other than Gemini siphon witch Kai. He was so psychotic, so sadistic and so cruel that his entire family banded together to lock him away in a prison world, keeping him stuck in 1994 for decades.
Carol Lockwood was the former mayor of Mystic Falls after her husband, Richard. She was also the human mother of Tyler, who cared about him greatly. She was later drowned by Klaus as revenge for Tyler turning his hybrids against him.
