Just call her Mommy Dearest. Lily Salvatore is one manipulative mother! She manages to get things done without having to lift a finger, and while that's a skill most mothers would envy (Hi, children, clean your rooms!), Lily often uses her powers for evil instead of good. She spent over a century trapped in a prison world with her starving family, so maybe we can cut her some slack on the superior brand of evil she's cultivating.
Or maybe not?
We sat down with Annie Wersching to find out about Lily's power of manipulation and how it will play out on The Vampire Diaries Season 7. Hear what she had to say now!
