Still reeling from shock of the death of Vicki from Thursday night's episode of The Vampire Diaries?
Well get used to it, because according to Kevin Williamson, exec producer of the show, there is more death coming to Mystic Falls.
"Everyone's going to die on this show. This is a show where characters you love may die, and it'll be unexpected and shocking, so get ready for it. It's as simple as that. And Vicki was the first casualty."
:Gulp: Bonnie!
As for Vicki, she wasn't originally supposed to be staked by Stefan at first, but none other than the love sick puppy, Jeremy. Kayla Ewell (Vicki) explains why the producers decided to go with a different outcome.
"They chose to have Stefan kill me because it makes him more of a hero since he saves Elena. There was also the question of would Jeremy know to actually stake a vampire in the heart?"
Good point. But according to Williamson and Ewell, the death of Vicki was the catalyst for a "transformation" in Jeremy, which will be explored when Matt Davis arrives as the new history teacher, Alaric. Could we see some slayer training going down?
Stay tuned…
