It’s not goodbye yet! ‘The Vampire Diaries’ is currently filming their final season and yes, you can expect to see some hot and heavy scenes between Stefan and Caroline — and let’s be honest, it was such a slow burn that we deserve it.

“These characters are in a great spot at the top of the season,” Candice King told our sister publication TVLine when they visited set last month, saying she loved how the “tone” between all the characters were when season seven came to an end. However, while it went out with “death and destruction,” we do get some “nice, light, steamy moments” to start with. (Phew!) However, that doesn’t mean

“Their relationship will definitely be tested,” she told the site about Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline’s interactions. “They have to balance some pretty adult things, in terms of Caroline and Alaric co-parenting these children and having this supernatural blended family.” Of course, Stefan will also be working on the trying to save his brother, which comes first.

“Stefan is so attached to protecting and saving Damon. He’ll always choose his brother first, and that’s going to be a really big thing for this couple,” she said. So her kids will be first for her and his brother will be first for him. Hmm, who thinks this may be tough to make work? “Fans of this relationship are really going to enjoy the first part of season eight. You’ll get to see this couple go through some hardships and figure things out, but you also just get to enjoy their relationship.”

returns with its final season on Friday, Oct. 21 at 8/7c on The CW.
