Is this the end for Jo? 

Here’s the thing — I thought it was the end of Jo last year. And then apparently it wasn’t the end for Jo. And then I thought it was the end for Jo again. They sort of like to tell me right before it all happens, so I know about as much as you do.

If it was the end for Jo, were you satisfied with her ending? 

I was. I really got the moment that I wanted for Jo and Alaric. I gave him a little bit of closure. I’m so attached to that cast and crew. I feel like I got what I wanted in the end…I’d love to go back. I’d love to be back with everyone again but if that was it, I’m happy with the work that I did. 

Do you think Jo would approve of Alaric and Caroline?

I think Jo would approve. Caroline’s one of my favorites.

How do you think Jo would react to Caroline carrying her twins?

I think she would be relieved. Her babies get to live. They’re a little piece of her and a little piece of Alaric. She’d be so happy they didn’t die as well on that terrible wedding day.

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
