"The Vampire Diaries" premiered on The CW in September 2009 and ended in March 2017 after eight seasons.
The show starred Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley.
There are some things fans might not know about the hit series.
For example, Wesley and Somerhalder both took their characters' daylight rings from the set of the show.
According to Dobrev, the producers really wanted Taylor Swift to appear on "TVD," but it didn't work out.

Dobrev and Wesley "despised each other" at the start of the show, but are now good friends.
