It’s likely they’ve come across the characters from the spinoff plenty of times off-screen, but considering Damon’s close friendship with Alaric, we would have liked to have seen the bourbon bros reunite in their usual spot for one of the philosophical life chats. While Damon and Elena ( Nina Dobrev) are human, they are still very much present in Mystic Falls and are referenced several times during Legacies. Despite his wrongdoings, the elder Salvatore sets out and achieves his redemption arc by the finale. Throughout his run on the show, Damon proves his loyalty to his friends and brother more than once, becoming a valuable player amongst the group.
STEVEN R MCQUEEN AND CANDICE KING SERIES
Entering the original series as a villain and resident troublemaker, Damon gradually begins to turn over a new leaf and adopts the persona of beloved anti-hero. Ian Somerhalder’s fan-favorite Mystic Falls bad boy turned good is the dark horse of The Vampire Diaries. It would be bittersweet, yet their relationship deserves to end on better grounds than it abruptly does. The mother and daughter duo barely had a chance to know each other prior to Hayley’s death, but we could easily see Hayley becoming a grounding influence for Hope. While there are various storylines that we would like to see resolved, particularly Hayley’s relationship with Elijah ( Daniel Gillies), there’s no room to follow this through on Legacies. We have watched a number of characters return from the dead throughout all three of the shows whether that’s as a short-lived cameo, multiple episode arc, or becoming a permanent fixture to the series, the biggest lesson any of these supernatural dramas taught is that death is never the end.Ī potential Hayley return could have worked as a one-off as opposed to a regular occurrence, mostly in part because Hayley’s story is wrapped up in The Originals and the only closure she could receive would be with Hope. However, in The Vampire Diaries universe, nothing is certain, including death. Granted, Hayley ( Phoebe Tonkin) meets her demise in The Originals' fifth and final season, so a reprisal from the wolf is apparently written off the table before Legacies even begins. Instead, his off-screen departure is lackluster and breaks hold of a disappointing promise. His character’s divergence in becoming a hunter and later teacher holds potential for an intriguing side plot that Legacies could have touched upon Jeremy easily could have been a valuable asset in the spin-off. There’s never really any significant mention of him until he shows up out of the blue when Alaric makes a plea for help. Jeremy’s exit leaves plenty up to the imagination as well as becoming a playground for unresolved narratives. RELATED: 7 Guest Stars We’d Love to See on ‘Legacies’

Though Jeremy has a blink, and you’ll miss it cameo in the finale, he isn’t seen again until Legacies first season. The younger Gilbert opts to skip town under the guise of a fresh start following the death of Bonnie ( Kat Graham), but in actual fact, Jeremy has regained his hunter abilities and is tracking down vampires with the help of Alaric ( Matt Davis). McQueen) in a random sixth season episode. The Vampire Diaries says goodbye to Jeremy ( Steven R. Even a phone call or brief cameo here and there would be sufficient of course, her absence is down to King’s availability and schedule, but seeing Caroline sporadically show up now and then would be a perfect way to deepen the link between Legacies and The Vampire Diaries. There is always room for Caroline to integrate her way onto Legacies, at least with a heavier presence than we eventually get to see. King has never appeared in the spin-off until its final episode despite fan demands it is explained at an early stage that Caroline is scouring across Europe with the hope of finding a cure for the Gemini curse that plagues her daughters. A huge appeal of her storyline that fans are still drawn in by is the chemistry she shares with ruthless hybrid Klaus ( Joseph Morgan) neither she nor Klaus have explored the potential of what could have been between them, except for a passionate tryst in the woods and final smooch, before Klaus’ death at the end of The Originals. Initially the egocentric cheerleader, Caroline’s world is flipped upside down when she is forced into the dark underworld of vampirism and suffers enough tragedy that would make anyone hit the switch to their humanity. Caroline ( Candice King) embarks on one of the greatest developmental arcs within the whole The Vampire Diaries universe.
