“你们能相信这部电视剧已经演了7年吗?这是不是挺疯狂的?”萨默尔海德近日在接受采访时表示：“我们现在还未结束，我们明年还有一季。有天早上我就想：‘喔，我这部戏已经拍了7年154集了，明年这时第八季拍完后就176集了。’“

　　当直接问及，去年告别小妮子的《吸血鬼日记》是否会在第八季剧终时，萨默尔海德说他不确定。无论怎么样，他表示即将播出的第八季将是他们重夺昔日辉煌的最佳机会。

　　“在过去的五六年，我们一直都在努力将这部电视剧带入一个更高的水平。“萨默尔海德解释说，”你还记得埃琳娜冲进萨尔瓦托家质问斯特凡‘你是什么?你到底是什么?‘他回答’吸血鬼‘。你造这些时刻有多重大么?相当关键重大啊。但现在，想要再让观众找到这种感觉的话，我们不得不杀掉六到八个角色，或者炸毁三辆汽车和一座房子。你们懂我的意思吧?”我们将十分重视第八季，并将为这部剧回归本色而变得更成熟。“萨默尔海德说，“我们在今年将会做更多努力。有些故事本来能讲得很好，但我更期望能抓住要点，这很明确，优秀的核心角色们试图在重重艰险中找出神秘瀑布镇存在的意义到底是什么。”

　　然而，似乎并非所有我们最爱的角色都能活到第八季。执导了4月1日回归集的萨默尔海德透露，16集“新的追忆“将会以一些痛苦离别为特色。

　　“这集着重讲述所有这群独立个体，以及相互间如何纠缠的故事。并且我们在这集失去了一些非常优秀非常棒的角色。“萨默尔海德说，”它会拉紧观众的心弦并使他们真正地感受这些角色。“

　　A few weeks after The Vampire Diaries was renewed, star Ian Somerhalder hinted that the upcoming eighth season may be its last."Can you believe this sh--? F---ing seven years! Isn't that crazy?" Somerhalder told TVGuide.com. "Well, we're not closed out yet. We have another year now... [This morning] I just thought, 'Wow, man. You just navigated seven years, 154 episodes of television.' And by the time it's done, it's going to be 176 episodes, by this time next year."When asked point-blank if Season 8 would be the end for The Vampire Diaries, which already said goodbye to star Nina Dobrev last year, Somerhalder said he didn't know for sure. Either way, the actor said he views the upcoming season as an important opportunity for the show to recapture its former glory."It's almost like we've been chasing a high for the last five, six years," Somerhalder explained. "Do you remember when Elena ran to the Salvator house and asked Stefan, 'What are you? What the f--- are you?' And he says, 'A vampire.' Do you remember how big that moment was? It was huge. And now, we have to kill six or eight people, blow up three cars and a house to get that same emotion. Do you know what I mean?"I would look at this season as being a very, very important time to notch up our belts and really put our big boy and big girl pants on in terms of telling stories that connect back to the ways this show [once was]," said Somerhalder. "I thought we were going to get to do it more this year. There's been some great storytelling, but I'm anticipating being able to get down to brass tacks, which was this very specific, wonderful core group of characters that navigated the treacherous waters of what is Mystic Falls."However, it appears as though not all our favorite characters will live to see Season 8. Somerhalder, who directed the upcoming April 1 episode, revealed that the "Days of Future Past" will feature a few painful farewells."This one was really about telling the story of this whole group of individuals and how they're all intersecting. And we lost some very wonderful, very beautiful characters in this episode," Somerhalder said. "It was just about tugging on the heartstrings of the audience and really allowing them to feel these characters."
