So grab your tissues and join us on this trip down a vampire-filled memory lane.

This week, Marguerite MacIntyre looks back on her time as Sheriff Liz Forbes…

I enjoyed so much of what Ive done.

Thats a good road.

Thats pretty fun stuff.

Theres so much death in that series over the years.

Its so sudden when he drowns her, and its terrifying but that felt human.

It felt like a murder.

To me, it felt like a beautiful way to end that characters journey.

We dodged so many bullets!

(And also in my case shot a few misaimed bullets as well, poor Jeremy.

I took a lot of heat for that.)

That was obviously thrilling because I was madly in love with everybody and really enjoyed doing it.

It is like a reunion every single time.

Its such a homecoming.

I could not love those people more.

You dont always have really warm and wonderful experiences on sets.

Thats going to be a tough one to top.

Because that sounds like fun.
