The Vampire Diaries to Flash Back... to Bulgaria... in 1490
Forget 1864. The Vampire Diaries is preparing to take viewers back to the 15th century...
... in Bulgaria.
“The episode that we start shooting on Tuesday is set around 1490 – and in Bulgaria," producer Julie Plec said at New York Comic-Con over the weekend. “We’ve talked about wanting to show Katherine’s origin story, and it is cool.”
Viewers learned a couple weeks ago that Katherine's original last name was "Petrova," and fellow producer Kevin Williamson says they plan to depict how this character "came to become who she was."
But, as much as we love the pace and excitement of the series, might it be revealing too much too quickly? Is there fear of burning storylines out?
“We’re trying to figure out the breaking point, where we are going to stop at the end of this season. We kind of know what we want for our season finale, we know what the cliffhanger is already, so [it's all a matter of] ‘What do I get in there before?’”
** In other spoiler news, fans can look for Bonnie to get more involved later this season, as a mysterious father and son duo come to town, armed with questions for this witch.
** Of note: Nina Dobrev is of Bulgarian descent. Her family's original last name? Dobreva.

Since the writers are doing the exact opposite than the written books, such as Elena is a brunette on the tv show instead of a blond. Elens's has a little but a sister in the bookbut a teeange brother on the show. Maybe they'll decide to allow the Damon/Elena story line. In the books, they kept Elena with Stephen and Damon always pining after Elena. Maybe they can continue everthing opposite from the books. Please put Elena together, if only under a amenesic moment!!

"** Of note: Nina Dobrev is of Bulgarian descent. Her family's original last name? Dobreva."
Correct Dobreva is her original last name not Dobrev. In Bulgaria Dobrev stands for male last name. Female last name always end with "va".
