And they were like, ‘No!
Candice King on the series finale of ‘Legacies’.The CW
Whoever watches it live, when they find out, it would be a great experience.’
CANDICE KING:Julie and I have talked about having Caroline head over toLegaciesfor a while now.
It’s just always been timing.
[Laughs] So this really has been a long time coming.
I’m pregnant."
Wow, talk about a full-circle moment.
Yeah, very,veryfull circle.
Yes!Vampire Diariesis a darker show, I think we can all agree.
[Laughs] So she hasn’t been able to watch it.
She’s been asking.
[Laughs] Maybe one day.
But she knows about the show.
I don’t know.
There’s always a fluidity to the storytelling of any show.
At one point I had heard that the intention was for Caroline to come in and be the headmistress.
You just never know where a story is going to go.
What was it like stepping back into this role after having so much time away?
I was very nervous, actually.
I was more nervous than I thought I would be stepping back into Caroline Forbes' shoes.
I genuinely love the character of Caroline.
We’ve all gone back to those comfortable places.
I found myself rewatching and binge-watching a lot of TV.
How do you think Caroline feels about that?
Oh, man, I don’t know.
As a TV watcher, I feel satisfaction in that.
No, I haven’t talked to him in a minute!
I’m trying to think if I’ll be seeing him anytime this year.
No, but I love how he was doing all these fantastic teases on Twitter.
I gotta step up my game.
Should I be teasing this?
He’s so creative.
He’s on top of it!"
And we all agreed we’ll let him be the one who’s teasing stuff.
How do you feel about howLegaciesending means there is no moreVampire Diariesseries on the air anymore?
I know, it’s wild to think.
I think it was, what, a total of 13 years?
It’s a great run.
There were people who watched that show when they were a teenager and who are now adults having babies.
What kinds of plans do you think Caroline has for the future of the Salvatore School?
I’m sure she’s going to redo the office, Alaric’s office, really brighten it up.
[Laughs] Bring in some flowers.
Maybe she’ll bring in theHome Editteam and just really get organized.
And what’s coming up next for you?
All the circumstantial evidence pointed fingers to Melanie McGuire, his wife.
She’s serving out a life sentence for this crime and still maintains her innocence.
It invites the audience to put their detective hats on and do some sleuthing themselves.
It was wild, I went down such a rabbit hole with this case.
[Laughs] I was in the deep Reddit threads of conspiracy theories.
