The Vampire Diaries to End After Season 8

Note to fans of The CW: Be sure to savor every last bite of The Vampire Diaries this fall, winter and spring. Because the beloved series is coming to an end. View Slideshow: 15 Best Shows in CW History: Ranked! Creator Julie Plec made this semi-surprising announcing to kick off the show’s panel discussion at Comic-Con in San Diego today, alerting fans in attendance that the popular show will wrap up after Season 8. This really isn’t a shock to those that have been paying close attention, however. First, Kat Graham confirmed several weeks ago that she would be departing the drama following Season 8. Then, Ian Somerhalder said in April that the team behind the show had decided to produce “one last season.” He later tried to walk these words back, but the proverbial writing has been on the wall for some time now. Moreover, The CW moved The Vampire Diaries (once its highest-rated program) to the television graveyard of Friday nights after a handful disappointing Thursday night performances last year. Simply put, ratings have been on an extreme downswing. There’s simply no story left to tell here. Early on, The Vampire Diaries established itself as a legitimately interesting and suspenseful series. This was not Twilight. Not by a long shot. The first couple seasons managed to shock viewers with twists and turns on a nearly weekly basis, making major stars out of Somerhalder,  Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev. But Dobrev left after Season 6 and viewership has been shrinking for years now. Plec said at Comic-Con that producers wanted to make this announcement early on, giving them a chance to write out the ending they want to tell with plenty of notice. How do you feel about The Vampire Diaries coming to an end? It’s about time, isn’t it? Will Dobrev return as Elena for the series finale? She has hinted in the past that she’d be open to this arrangement. For now, you can go watch The Vampire Diaries online via our friends at TV Fanatic and you can help us raise a glass to one of The CW’s most enjoyabe shows. Watch the cast say goodbye here: The Vampire Diaries Says Farewell THE FINAL SEASON KICKS OFF ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21 AT 8/7C ON THE CW.

Prince: Police Reveal New Details Into His Death

As fans mourn the death of music icon and superstar Prince, they can all agree on one thing. He went too soon. Prince was found unresponsive in an elevator at his Minnesota home yesterday morning at age 57, and the world has been pondering the reason for the star’s death since the news broke. The Carver County Sheriff’s Office held a press conference today and divulged new details surrounding the singer’s untimely demise.  “The information we have for now is he was last seen at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night,” Sheriff Olson told reporters. “Staff members at Paisley Park were unable to locate Prince yesterday, and went to check on him.” He added that police responded to the 911 emergency call at 9:43 a.m. Prince was pronounced dead 24 minutes later, at 10:07 a.m. View Slideshow: Prince: Stars React to the Death of Iconic Singer While the sheriff said the case was only 29 hours old and continuing to evolve, he said there was “no reason to believe this was a suicide.” He also revealed that there were “no obvious signs of trauma” on the body, and that Prince was wearing pants and a shirt when he was found. Earlier today, the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office completed an autopsy on Prince’s body, which was later released to his family. They indicated that results of the toxicology scan could take weeks, and they will continue to investigate. This morning, TMZ reported that six days before his death, Prince was treated for an overdose of the prescription pain killer Percoset , which he was said to be taking for hip pain. The sheriff would not confirm whether he drugs were involved in the death.   View Slideshow: Prince: Remembering the Music Legend’s Life In Photos

The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 14 Recap: Big Trouble in The Big Easy

So… that was quite the disappointment, wasn’t it? The CW hyped  The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 14 as a major crossover event, with Stefan finding his way to New Orleans in order to avoid Rayna Cruz. And this aspect of the hour was not a let down. It made sense for Stefan to take shelter in Klaus’ favorite bar because its magical powers made it impossible for a locator spell to track him down there. And it was fun to see these old friends (enemies? Let’s just call them frenemies …) banter back and forth. It was also jarring: remember when Klaus first arrived on the scene in Mystic Falls? And he was billed as the most fearsome for our heroes would ever encounter? Who ever could have guessed he’d end up anchor The Originals as a protagonist? Talk about a character who has come a long way. After learning that Stefan was on the run from The Huntress, Klaus initially went off on his drinking buddy, questioning why he dared to bring such a dangerous problem to New Orleans. But after he tossed Stefan out on the street, he ended up on the phone with Caroline and realized that she really did care about Stefan. So if Klaus really did care about Caroline, as we all know he does, he’ll go lend the marked vampire a hand. That’s how we concluded this episode of The Vampire Diaries Season 7 , with Klaus telling Stefan they were going to see a witch who could help with his Rayna Cruz problem. View Slideshow: 15 Best Shows in CW History: Ranked! It was the rest of the episode that pretty much sucked. Caroline accompanied Alaric to Dallas with his twins, clearly taken by the kids she birthed and clearly interested in staying with them. We know this is what happens due to the flash forwards, of course, which removes a great deal of the drama ahead. Yes, it was cool to see awhile back that Caroline is engaged to Alaric and that they are raising daughters together. But that shock has now worn off and we’re left with a storyline whose ending we already know. The worst storyline this week, however, centered on Enzo. It turns out that he’s been working with some mysterious group called The Armory because the woman in charge promised him information about his family in exchange for his help capturing Rayna Cruz. That’s it. That’s all Enzo needed to hear in order to turn his back on his friends. By sheer coincidence, the woman then told Enzo that his father founded The Armory and that she’s actually related to him. It was all felt very forced and very random, as if the writers knew they needed to find an arc for Enzo and just invented this out of thin air. Finally, we’ll supposedly see the last of Damon on The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 15 because Bonnie nearly died saving his life and he’s sick of putting the lives of those close to him in jeopardy. But we clearly know Damon isn’t going anywhere. We’ll tune in next week just to see what Damon is talking about when it comes to disappearing forever, but if The Armory is really about to become a central focus of The Vampire Diaries, we may be tuning out after that.

The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 11 Recap: What Did Damon Do?!?

Damon and Stefan may be out of The Phoenix Stone. But viewers witnessed on  The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 11 just how these brothers are not of the dangerous woods just yet as a result of the time in their respective personal Hells. Much to his surprise, Damon was actually forgiven almost immediately for his violent actions to close out The Vampire Diaries Season 7 Episode 10 , as Stefan said everyone understood. Damon thought he was still inside the Stone and the Stone seriously effs with people’s minds. Simply enough. How does Stefan know this so well? Because we got a glimpse into his journey through Hell this week, which included the endless nightmare of Damon trying to kill Caroline. Stefan still saw this image for many weeks after being awaken and he finally realized why. He finally realized the message the Stone was trying to tell him: That he’ll never be happy until Damon is out of his life for good. But, come on. This is Stefan Salvatore. He has Hero Hair. And he ended the hour by assuring Damon that he’ll never leave him, that the two are stuck together for life. View Slideshow: 15 Best Shows in CW History: Ranked! It was a very sweet sentiment, but Damon couldn’t exactly appreciate it in that moment. And here’s why: Still haunted himself by his experience in the Stone, Damon kept seeing his Civil War friend everywhere. The dude kept harassing Damon about how he’s truly a monster and how it was his job to bring the monster back out. So, to rid himself of this pseudo stalker, Damon poured gasoline all over his body and set it afire. But this was the problem with that plan: Damon actually set ELENA’s BODY on fire! Tyler (randomly in town for Caroline’s baby shower) agreed to take Damon to visit his unconscious girlfriend, only for Damon to see his hallucination instead of Elena. He then knocked Tyler out and set the body ablaze, only to later realize it was Elena all along. He couldn’t bring himself to tell Stefan what happened and now we’re left to wonder: is Elena’s body really burned to a crisp?!? Elsewhere this week: Caroline learned that Alaric was planning to get a job in Texas and raise his twins there. Makes perfect sense as far as wanting to keep them safe, but this made Caroline very sad. She has grown attached to those twins. Julian has turned Mystic Falls into one crazy, constant, violent party town, letting his Heretics run loose. We learned about The Huntress: the Phoenix Stone sword belongs to her and she will stop at nothing to track down those who have been stabbed with it. And she’s on her way to Mystic Falls. Might she be the cop who pulled over Matt for drunk driving and who found his collection of weapons in his truck? We ask because the flash forward to three years from now featured Matt teaming up WITH The Huntress, letting Caroline go free but admitting that he’s helping The Huntress go after Stefan. That’s a lot to digest. Go watch The Vampire Diaries online if you need to catch up and sound off below on a great episode.
