Katherine Pierce was a staple of the *Vampire Diaries* universe. But at one point in the series, the writers had to fight to tell more of her story.

"We had to negotiate for the right to let Nina [Dobrev] play Katherine again because the season 2 Katherine [story] had really taken everything out of her and the network was being very protective," executive producer Julie Plec says about the show's fifth season during episode 5 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*. "[The network] and studio were being very protective and they were like, 'You can't do that anymore, you can't have Katherine.'"

On an earlier episode of the podcast, Dobrev spoke about how exhausted she was at the end of season 2, the first season in which she played both Elena and Katherine in the present day. So when it came time to make Katherine human and even introduce a third Petrova doppelgänger, the writers had to get creative. "We had to basically beg the network to let us even write story for Katherine," Plec says, noting that "the triplegänger made the whole thing worth it."

Fans will remember that season 5 featured Katherine taking over Elena's body, which meant that for a good chunk of the season, Dobrev only had one character to play. And then, eventually, Katherine met her demise, a decision that also came about following those negotiations. "I literally think we had to say we'll kill her in order to get permission to use her," Plec recalls.

Additionally, during the podcast, Plec discusses the choice to have Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) be the two characters who "die" together at the end of season 5, which led to a discussion about Bamon, the popular ship. "Bonnie and Damon had a thing in the books we had sort of always said, 'We don't buy a romantic connection between Bonnie and Damon because Damon's just done too many terrible things and Bonnie just has more integrity than that,'" Plec says. "But we wanted to service that relationship in the canon a little bit."

Over the course of its eight seasons, *The Vampire Diaries*' mythology changed every now and then to fit a certain story. But in its seventh season, the show delivered its biggest change from its established mythology when, suddenly, Caroline (Candice King) became pregnant via a magical transfer. Even though she was a vampire, she was somehow carrying Alaric (Matthew Davis) and Jo's (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) twins.

The twist was something the writers thought up as a way to soften the tragedy at the end of season 6 when Kai (Chris Wood) killed Jo and her unborn children—on her wedding day, no less. "We had always left that [story thread] hanging on instinct," writer Neil Reynolds says during episode 7 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*.

Executive producer Julie Plec adds, "Because of the tragedy of the twins and Jo dying and looking for story for Alaric for the season, we had separately come up with the story of the woman who knocks on his door and is like, 'I think I'm pregnant with your babies.'" But the writers weren't sure if that twist was *too* crazy, so they didn't originally plan to go there. Until star Candice King called to let them know she was pregnant. "I was very nervous to make that call," King says on the podcast.

Ultimately, the writers decided to work in King's pregnancy and use the aforementioned story, only instead of a random woman showing up pregnant, Caroline would carry Ric's kids. Plec remembers warning CW president Mark Pedowitz about "the most bananas thing" she was ever going to pitch him at the time, but surprisingly, he wasn't fazed. And thus Caroline's pregnancy became part of the series and will always go down as one of the show's most unexpected turns.

The* Vampire Diaries* creators have talked a lot about the importance of a great villain for the series, and in its later seasons, there was one villain that stood out among the rest: Kai Parker (Chris Wood). Introduced in season 6, the sociopathic siphoner quickly became a favorite in the *TVD* fandom, and for Ian Somerhalder, whose Damon Salvatore was the series' first villain, Kai marked a significant shift for the show.

In episode 6 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*, Somerhalder recalls his hesitation about Damon becoming a good — or at least better — guy in the show's third season. "I was so upset about the trajectory of Damon," Somerhalder says. "So much so that at one point I was sitting across from [executive producer] Julie [Plec] in her office in Atlanta almost in tears so angry about this."

Plec, along with her co-creator Kevin Williamson, explained that Damon couldn't be what they called a "one trick pony," that he was going to be the villain at times and the hero at others. But that's precisely why Somerhalder says he was jealous of what Chris Wood got to do as Kai in season 6. "That's why I was always so in love with what Chris Wood was doing on screen, because up until that moment, there was never a character in the show, other than Stefan in the Ripper age, that actually had the ability to not be so serious, to do horrific things but do it with a smile," Somerhalder says.

As far as Wood's inspiration for Kai, Wood, who's also on the podcast, says, "We talked about Ted Bundy if he was really funny. It was the worst person in the world who's also like maybe a good hang if you can get him to shut up for a second. That was sort of what I was always going for."

Vampire Diaries bosses on casting Enzo as a Salvatore brother and Damon's fate in the finale

EW's editorial guidelines

August 27, 2021 9:00 a.m. ET

For *The Vampire Diaries* creatives, casting Enzo was a particularly difficult task. Because originally, the role was going to be very different.

"You were supposed to be the third Salvatore brother," executive producer Julie Plec tells star Michael Malarkey in episode 8 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*. Writer Brett Matthews adds, "That was always the plan, and then it went a different direction, but that's why it was so hard to find the person. We thought it was going to be a Salvatore brother, so we cast a very wide net [and] looked very hard." Ultimately, they scrapped that plan and made it so Enzo didn't share Salvatore blood, but he was a brother figure for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) for many years (and he was sired by Lily Salvatore).

But that wasn't the only plan that changed in the writers' room over the years. In discussing the *Vampire Diaries*' final season, Plec and Matthews recall the final major debate: Which Salvatore were they going to kill in the series finale? "We went back and forth in the writers' room all season long," Plec says. "We finally landed on: We're killing Damon. That's the right thing to do. He is the one with the consequence to pay. Stefan was morally a bit stronger of a character."

Matthews adds, "Damon's a fairly obvious choice," noting that the writers really fell in love with the idea of Damon compelling Stefan (Paul Wesley) to let him die. But when executive producer Kevin Williamson proposed that it should be Stefan that dies, they started to rethink their plan. "It felt like dying for Stefan freed him from a lot of weight, whereas it felt like living for Damon freed him to go and be the man that he was always supposed to be," Plec says.

Of course, both Salvatores were meant to die in the original ending Plec and Williamson came up with during the show's second season. In that ending, "The boys would sacrifice themselves to save Elena so that Elena could go and have a life and be human and live," Plec recalls during the podcast. "To save her, they would die together, and that was always the pitch. And then when Nina [Dobrev] left, it felt like the show can't be as much about protecting Elena's happiness, although that's important to us, but we want to protect the bothers' happiness, we want them to get something out of this. Then it shifted to: We can't kill both of them for her because that feels somehow like nobody got what they wanted. Let's find a different way to give one of these brothers the happiness that they need and the other brother the closure that they need."

(One other way Dobrev leaving changed the plan? Plec says, "I thought that by the time we came back to the end of the series, whenever it was, that Elena would've found her way back to Stefan and Damon would've found a different path.")

BEDFORD, N.H. (AP) — "Bob's Burgers" voice actor and comedian Eugene Mirman suffered serious injuries after crashing his car into a toll plaza and being pulled from the fiery wreckage by a state trooper assigned to protect the governor of New Hampshire.

The crash happened just before noon Tuesday when a northbound electric vehicle struck the Bedford Toll Plaza and caught fire, New Hampshire State Police said. Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte and her security detail came upon the crash soon after, and a trooper and two others pulled Mirman from the burning car through a window, said State Police Col. Mark Hall. The governor, who left her vehicle and retrieved a fire extinguisher, was not in any danger, he said.

"Eugene was in a very scary car accident," Mirman's agent Jay Glassner confirmed in a statement Wednesday. "He wants to thank the bystanders, state police, first responders and hospital staff who saved him. He is grateful to be on the mend. At this time, we kindly ask for privacy for Eugene and his family as he focuses on recovering from his injuries."

Hall called the actions of the rescuers "heroic."

"Without hesitation, they put themselves in danger to render aid to someone who was in need of it," Hall said.

State police identified the driver as Yevgeny Mirman, 51, of Massachusetts. Mirman, who was born in Moscow and grew up in Massachusetts, is known for voicing musical middle child Gene Belcher in more than 300 episodes of the animated comedy "Bob's Burgers" and its movie, in addition to roles on "Flight of the Conchords," "Delocated" and "Archer."

Ayotte said she and her husband were praying for the driver's recovery.

"I want to thank the Trooper on my security detail and the bystanders who stepped up to help at the scene of the crash for their brave lifesaving efforts," she said in a statement.

The crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed.

In her recent PEOPLE cover story, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star opened up about her 23-year marriage with Prinze, 50, and how keeping their relationship private has helped its longevity.

"I always say I'm two people: I'm Sarah Michelle Gellar, and I'm Sarah Prinze," Gellar said. "They're different people." Sarah Prinze, she said, has "a quieter life and a private life."

"Our running joke is every year we have to look up when our anniversary is. Thankfully, People.com always reminds us!" she quipped. "Then we always get how many years confused. We know that we started dating in 2000, so that's easier."

In a July 2025 interview with Variety, Prinze revealed the key to keeping their marriage strong.

"Marriage is hard, no matter what business you're in. What works for us might not work for everyone else. We work at it," he said, adding, "I'm not perfect. She's not perfect. We piss each other off, but we respect one another."

The couple, who first met when they both starred in 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer, will celebrate their 24th year of marriage in September. They share daughter Charlotte, 16, and son Rocky, 13.

Love has previously said that she and the Foo Fighters rocker are "totally tight"

Grohl was a member of Nirvana and one of just a few people to attend Love and Kurt Cobain's 1992 wedding

Courtney Love has moved on from her feud with Dave Grohl — and she thinks everybody else should too.

The singer, 61, addressed past contention with the Foo Fighters frontman during a recent appearance on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan podcast on Wednesday, April 1.

While talking about being bad-mouthed in the press, Love encouraged Grohl, 57, to "come out with it and just say we're cool."

"Be man enough to man up," she said, before alleging that the rocker is "afraid" he'd "lose [his] audience" if he were to publicly support Love, the widow of his Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain.

The former Hole frontwoman continued: "It would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base, if you will, stop picking on me. The millennials in particular. Gen Z is not picking on me anymore."

Corgan, for his part, noted that he's spent time with Grohl, and "can confirm that... Dave doesn't have any issue" with Love, who replied, "Say that to his base. It's so stupid."

She continued by pointing to the fact that Grohl has allegedly written several songs about her.

"I couldn't write a song about Dave Grohl to save my life," she said. "He's written like, four songs about me and they're hits. I'm like, wait what? Like, what about me? I don't get it."

A rep for Grohl did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Grohl wrote the 1995 song "I'll Stick Around" about Love for the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut album. The song features the lyrics, "I've been around all the pawns you've gagged and bound / They'll come back and knock you down and I'll be free." He confirmed in a 2009 book that the track was, in fact, about Love.

He also allegedly wrote the 2007 song "Let It Die" about her.

"[It's] a song that's written about feeling helpless to someone else's demise," he told the Guardian that year. "I've seen people lose it all to drugs and heartbreak and death. It's happened more than once in my life, but the one that's most noted is Kurt. And there are a lot of people that I've been angry with in my life, but the one that's most noted is Courtney. So it's pretty obvious to me that those correlations are gonna pop up every now and again."

The "Everlong" singer was one of just a few people to attend Love and Cobain's 1992 wedding. But after Cobain died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1994, their friendship splintered.

Grohl publicly criticized Love's songwriting abilities in a 1999 interview with Howard Stern, per Far Out Magazine, and she later called him a "stupid motherf---er" in an interview with Spin, alleging that Cobain preferred playing with her band, Hole, more than Nirvana.

Love and Grohl were also engaged in a bitter legal battle over the rights to Nirvana's music, which ended in a 2002 settlement.

The two appeared to have mended fences by 2014, though, when they were seen hugging at Nirvana's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Shortly after, Love said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that she and Grohl had "picked up where we left off after 20 years of suing each other."

"Me and Grohl, we're totally tight. And I mean look, if you can give up a grudge like that — because there was a lot of crap that went on — I think anyone can do it," she said.
