As you might imagine, The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev was rather surprised by the events of the Season 3 finale, as the brunette beauty shares in this red carpet interview with TVLine.

Elena herself, meanwhile, is sure to “freak out” once she realizes how she was plucked from the ashes in the finale and the price tag that comes with it.

Dobrev also discusses how she as an actress will tackle this new take on Elena — and I just may have given her the best way to visualize her second bloodsucker role. (P.S. Pardon my instinctual pronunciation of “Stefan”; blame too many episodes of General Hospital).
