Although Paul Wesley lasted eight seasons on “The Vampire Diaries,” he was eventually killed off during the series finale. According to Bustle, Stefan offered up his own life in an effort to save his hometown of Mystic Falls from being destroyed by an evil witch. Fortunately, he wasn’t bothered by the storyline, even if fans were.

During an interview with Andy Cohen, Wesley shared that he actually rooted for Stefan’s death. “I was very happy he died and I had actually requested that he died,” revealed Wesley (via Seventeen). “He did a lot of bad things and I felt like he deserved death.” Actually, Wesley would’ve weaved even more death into the series finale if he’d been the one dictating the story. “I honestly think both brothers should’ve died,” added Wesley. “I would’ve liked that we both died and that Elena, the girl at the end of the show, like all her memory was wiped and she went on to live a normal life and forgot that we ever existed. I think that would’ve been nice.” Although Wesley’s version didn’t get integrated into the script, he did succeed at getting the writers’ to give his goody two-shoes character a darker side. “I really tried my best to influence them to allow me to be the bad guy and they made that happen in Season 3,” added Wesley.
