So grab your tissues and join us on this trip down a vampire-filled memory lane.
The character evolved and I didnt know where she was going.
I definitely loved the relationship that she had with Jeremy.

I loved working with Steven (McQueen).
We were best friends on and off set.
Something that really sticks out to me was doing the flashback episodes to 1864.
That was super cool.
I got to work closely with Kelly Hu (Pearl) which was amazing.
We got to work on plantations and wear authentic period clothes.
I also loved working with Ian (Somerhalder), too.
Ian and Paul (Wesley) and Nina (Dobrev) were definitely the captains of the ship.
When I found out Anna was going to die, it was heartbreaking.
There was a Team Anna video that we put together.
Everyone was a part of it; the fans got involved.
That was a very emotional day.
The crew was wrecked after the death scene, as was I.
It was hard but everyone was rooting for me and for the character and it paid off!
I got to see season 3.
The season 3 goodbye episode was so emotional.
Im very thankful for that.
The show totally rerouted my career as an actor.
I was a child actor and I was kind of at a crossroads.
It was supposed to be two to four episodes, and it turned out being two seasons.
I met friends for life in the cast and crew and I have so much love for everyone.
