Entertainment Weekly, she confirmed her favourite Elena scene occurred in The Vampire Diaries season 4 episode 15 Stand By Me .
The episode saw Elena burn down the Gilbert house, but there was no room for it in the musical episode. Neither were they able to include a planned Klaus (Joseph Morgan) musical number which would have seen the character
singing to his daughter.
Matthews explained: We had to kill a lot of darlings along the way, we could ve written a 200-page version of this episode. That s the beauty of it and I think it touches on the history of all the shows in the universe. It s got a lot of season 1, where the show was built upon that love triangle, but it does pay reference to doppelgangers and Hope and Klaus.

Salvatore: The Musical.
Under the bright lights of the Salvatore School auditorium, Josie, Kaleb, Jed and Lizzie as Elena, Damon, Stefan and Caroline, respectively retold the story of the institution’s founding, hitting several iconic beats from
The Vampire Diaries in the process: Stefan and Elena’s first meeting, Stefan and Damon’s dramatic reunion, Elena’s eternal back-and-forth between the brothers, the seemingly endless parade of doppelgangers, and Klaus’ (played by this week’s interloping monster!) multi-figure donation to the school.
