Get those tissues ready, because you’re about to watch

The Vampire Diaries @ Comic-Con: ‘Evil Herself’ Is Coming to Mystic Falls, Plus More Final Season Scoop

The whole gang, along with executive producer Julie Plec, swung by TVLine’s SDCC suite (presented by ZTE) on Saturday evening to preview the CW drama’s epic final season, as well as look back on seven years of blood, sweat and (mostly) tears in Mystic Falls. Among the topics discussed:

* Which dream ‘ships would the cast have loved to see? (Hint: If it were up to Matt Davis, Alaric would have worked his way through

* Which iconic prop is everybody planning to steal from the set before leaving for the last time?

* If Stefan and Caroline do, in fact, get the #SterolineJuneWedding the fans are hoping/tweeting for, will that make Stefan the stepdad to Alaric’s twins?

in the flesh before the series finale cuts to black? (Spoiler alert: Pretty damn good!)

So hit PLAY on the video above — it’s a little long, but hey, did I mention it’s the last one

? — then drop a comment with your own hopes for Season 8 below.

speak for yourself. and give it up on klaroline. that was never even a real thing.

I could care less if Klaroline happens just as long as sterocest ceases to exist. I’m so glad Paul said yesterday at comic con that there’s a “sibling feel” to S/C. THANK YOU PAUL now please get Julie to understand the uncomfortableness of having that on our screens!

I thought it was already known that Nina was coming back as the new big bad and not as Katherine but a different character?? That was spoiled a long time ago!

Sadly, had they at least put those two together the show just may have had more viewers.

People can say whatever BUT, bottom line and ratings have proved it. When Stefan and Elena and Damon was single this show was GREAT.

“Delena” will always be remembered as the driving force to the downfall of this show. Fans left when they got together.

Stefan and Caroline, come on now. Candace is NOT lead actress material and they have ZERO chemistry. Probably worse than watching Elena beg Damon for xes. Elena, the human mattress and boring character when she got with Damon.

Lol, Hi Delana. Wonder why you like Caroline and Stefan. Lol, never gets old

Thank you so much for asking about Steroline and their inevitable June Wedding! <3 #SterolineForever #SterolineJuneWedding

I hope we get an a.u. episode with bamon as a couple.

Can Ian grow up and act a little more professional? The other cast members are starting to look uncomfortable every time he talks. He’s got obvious issues about Nina coming back, but he’s an actor, gotta deal with it.

This is why I’m totally against actors on the same show getting together.

plenty of other ones that are going well rather than collapse.Ginnifer and Josh(?) seem to not have any problems.

I know can Ian just be friends with Nina and not make everything so awkward.

I completely understand why he acts like he does. This has nothing to do with Nina they are ok with each other it’s because of the creepy and disgusting DElusional stans. They don’t have a grip on reality so he always has to remind them. If you’ve ever seen the things they’ve said about him, his wife, marriage it’s disgusting and all because he didn’t marry their fave. D/E are fictional and just because the actors dated and then BROKE UP in rl, some can’t seem to separate that and his attitude is the fall out from that. There are still ppl that think him and Nina are getting back together so if you want someone to act differently maybe talk to the DElusionals.

A Steroline wedding…ewe gross! Steroline needs to end…go back to just friends.

Agree that Steroline are gross and should’ve ended in s6!

I don’t care for Steroline but I dislike Klaroline even more…I hope Caroline & Stefan wed in the finale…so that Caroline does not come to ruin TO…

How about Caroline just dies because I hate her whiny baby voice and then they had her leave her kids to be with another guy. That’s all her character’s good for is to be with a guy. These writers have no concept about writing for females. No one but DElusionals want a Sc wedding so Stefan can’t be with Elena. We don’t want Sc ruining TVD. End this farce of a ship.

Please CW Don’t Stop A Season 8 keep the show going I still watch it a lot of people still watch it don’t give it the Axe at season 8 it still has 20 more story lines to do please I watch this show it helps me with my daily life Stefan Salvatore Aka Paul Wesley And I Are just alike and me and Damon Salvatore are too he had Elena Gilbert Aka Nina Dobrev And I Have The Girl I Love Please Don’t Cancel this show or Axe it it is a very very very very important part of my life I think about it everyday the show and the cast the cast is part of my family they have been every since I saw Paul Wesley on The O.C Years Ago

I am so on board with Steroline ending! They do give off a incredibly sibling vibe, which is totally off putting. Now Ian, needs to grow up. Yes they broke up, and apparently he still has not gotten over it. Dude you are married with someone who seems to support all the causes and charities that you do. She seems to be a much better fit for him. I hope with this last season everything is resolved into a half way decent story. Cause the last few years have been rocky.

Definitely agree with you on that. Klaroline and Stelena forever.

Yes I hope that continue vampire diaries all the way to a season 30

I love Delena, but if it meant Nina not coming back to the show then maybe Delena fans, including me, can ship something else.Like Stelena or something… The show just won’t be the same without Nina Dobrev starring as Elena in season 8.

Nope. If Nina comes back as Elena then she’s back for Stelena like Kevin Williamson said on the goodbye video…TVD is the EPIC love story of Stelena!! ;)

The ending of the epic tvd..The special credit goes to ian somerhalder’s beautiful wife nikki reed …
