"The executive producers of The Vampire Diaries have explained why they chose to make Caroline a vampire in a recent episode. Speaking to the New York Post, Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec admitted that they had considered the storyline since the end of the first season. &amp;quot;One of the things Julie and I both struggled with last year were the supporting characters,&amp;quot; Williamson said. &amp;quot;Everyone seemed to zero in on the love triangle and anyone involved in the supernatural world had a lot of story. &amp;quot;We struggled to incorporate any human in the dark into the story. We want humans in the show, but we needed an element that would involve the other supporting characters.&amp;quot; The pair also suggested that Caroline will survive as a vampire for some time. &amp;quot;Here&amp;#039;s the deal,&amp;quot; Plec said. &amp;quot;Caroline could die in any episode - she is doomed. She is absolutely, fundamentally doomed by definition of her own personality and her lot in life. Her mum&amp;#039;s in the council and is the sheriff. She&amp;#039;s also a neurotic, jealous busybody who is always putting her foot in her mouth and Damon isn&amp;#039;t going to put up with her - so she&amp;#039;s doomed. &amp;quot;The question is, how much fun can we have getting her out of those doomed situations and for how long? Because we really, really believe that this character has a long shelf life.&amp;quot; The Vampire Diaries continues on Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
