"A whirlwind of emotion, nostalgia, love, tears of joy and bittersweet endings"

Way back in 2015, Nina Dobrev said goodbye to The Vampire Diaries by flooding her Instagram with snaps of her teary-eyed co-stars and even soppier captions. Luckily, we've had just about enough time to get over it...

Or so we thought. Even though she hasn't been a part of the show for the past two seasons, Dobrev thanked the fans - following the end of the show - with one hella emotional message.

Dearest TVD family, It feels like it was just yesterday that I was saying goodbye. And yet two years have passed and here we are again. This is my true final goodbye, as today I shot my last scene of the Vampire Diaries forever. Coming back for the series finale has been a whirlwind of emotion, nostalgia, love, tears of joy and bittersweet endings. It feels like the beautiful closure we all needed, myself included, and I couldn't have been happier to come home to be with my TVD set family and friends. I feel the fans family will also be happy with the show's conclusion when they tune in to watch the last episode air in a few short weeks. From the bottom of my heart, I send you my biggest thanks for the countless years of implicit dedication, passion, support, and undying love from all the fans that have stuck with us on this truly amazing and beautiful journey. As this last chapter ends, we welcome and look forward to going on to the next adventure and hope that you continue to follow us as our new journeys begin. I grew up on this show and am eternally grateful for all the opportunities it has given me, and so thankful for each and every person who worked on The Vampire Diaries over the last 8 years. We are all pieces of a big puzzle and without every truly amazing cast and crew member, this magical puzzle would not be complete. Thank you for all your hard work, friendship and love. You have touched my heart in ways you will never know. Sending looch smooches, Love, Katherine, Amara, Tatia, and of course, Elena Gilbert. #TVDforever #FangsForTheMemories Ps. I had these custom engraved TVD #Forever keys made as crew gifts for my beloved TVD a family. @thegivingkeys is an amazing company that sells products to provide jobs.

Uploading a snap of a gift she intended to give the crew; some personalised engraved keys, Nina wrote a lengthy and heart-felt message to accompany the present.

Dobrev said "Dearest TVD family, It feels like it was just yesterday that I was saying goodbye. And yet two years have passed and here we are again.

"This is my true final goodbye, as today I shot my last scene of the Vampire Diaries forever. Coming back for the series finale has been a whirlwind of emotion, nostalgia, love, tears of joy and bittersweet endings." She went on to talk about the new "journeys" the cast and crew were to embark on following the end of The Vampire Diaries.

She then signed off the message with "You have touched my heart in ways you will never know. Sending looch smooches, Love, Katherine, Amara, Tatia, and of course, Elena Gilbert. #TVDforever #FangsForTheMemories".

No. We're not crying. Erm, you're crying. (But seriously, Nina, fangs for the memories.)
