KAYLEE BRYANT:Oh, I was so excited!
I was so obsessed with The Vampire Diaries, and I’ve watched it so many times.
I feel like the past 5-6 years of my life have been in preparation for this.
[Laughs] I got super nervous when they told me I was playing Elena.
This makes sense."
You all nailed the Elena costume.
Yeah, it’s kind of amazing.
The costume department, the hair and makeup department, everybody got super inspired and super excited about it.
And the layering of the shirts!
And I was like, “Oh because I’m wearing three layers of thermals.”
That’s going to drive me crazy for the rest of my life.
What was your favorite part of making this episode?
Honestly, the rehearsal process was so much fun.
We all got to play around and that was genuinely my favorite part of it all.
How long was the rehearsal process?
Well, episodes 1 through 4 are year-long episodes.
We did the choreography and the recordings and a few scenes before we all got shut down.
[Laughs]
What does Josie take away from her time as Elena?
She really takes away a lot.
Looking ahead a bit, is she still dealing with the Dark Josie fallout in episodes to come?
Josie has been at this school for her entire life and she sees magic very differently than everybody else.
Is there a side of Josie you’d like to see more of this season?
