Ranking the Parents of Mystic Falls from Worst to Liz | The Rippah Diaries
With any teen show comes sporadic and sometimes unhealthy parenting moments, and The Vampire Diaries is no exception. This week, we’re ranking the parents of Mystic Falls from best to worst. While choosing the best parent was easy, picking the worst is a challenge with so many contenders. We’ve got Abby, who abandoned Bonnie twice; Kelly, who made out with Tyler at a Founders Party; Bill, who tortured Caroline; and Mayor Lockwood, who encourages fights in parking lots. We also briefly discuss Giuseppe Salvatore and Mikael, but they’re so bad they didn’t even make the official list. Tune in to this week’s episode to find out who we crown as the Official Rippah Girls' Worst Parent.
Note: We are officially breaking for the holidays so this is our last episode this year. Stay tuned for 2025!

100 Vampire Diaries Trivia Questions - HARD EDITION
Man, I'm missing my weekly dose of this podcast! Hope you guys decide to make more videos in the future. Would love to see TVD season 4 reviews and I think Buffy reactions would go incredibly hard! Wishing you guys well regardless!
Same!! I’ve been checking every few weeks to see if they’re back! I hope everything is okay and they are just taking a decided break :)
can't wait for new episodes! 🙏
Hope you guys come back soon! I miss these videos every Thursday!
What do you guys think about the doppelgängers? I feel like they didn’t iron more on the lore. We only have a couple doppelgängers, Amara, Tatia, Katherine and Elena, Tom, Stefan, and Silas. I guess Katherine is the one for the 1500’s or 1600’s. I wonder what about the rest of the doppelgängers for Tom and Elena’s too. Did the doppelgänger curse get broken in season 5.
2 țoape care vorbesc.
I am surprised your videos aren’t getting a lot of comments. Your videos are really good
Off topic but I always thought that we never saw Lucy again because once Katherine got free from Klaus's compulsion she hunted Lucy down and killed her. That's why we only see her in the finale with the Bennett witch spirits.
if brick by boring brick didn't win, I was going to riot (no paramore pun intended). thank you sarah
justice for cross my heart by marianas trench!! such an amazing band. it plays while kelly, damon, and jenna are drinking at the grill, so iconic
I believe Tyler and Jeremy talk about art one more time after Tyler's dad dies and they have bonded at the wake and are later hanging out with Sarah and Amy. Tyler asks Jer if he is still drawing and clocks the wolf sketches and freaks out
The blue hair ribbon Easter egg! ❤️🎀
Such a good finale
❤
Loveeee the “get me Damon Salvatore” line it’s so funny
Fav line this ep “you ask I come in easy like that” 😂
Love this ep
Love the Delena scenes 🥹
When Damon meets Andy the news reporter he watches her on the tv at the Salvatore’s house so I think they buy a tv later jhahahaha
❤
❤
Loveeeee the scene with Damon, Jenna and Jeremy at the house

Please do S4 re-watch
Loooove this ep
❤
❤
Love Lexi 😢❤
❤
❤
Damon looks sooooo good in this ep 🛐
Delena ❤
Damon eats the crow in a ep later lmaoo
I love Elena she will always be my favourite seriously people call her selfish and love Katherine for same reason and not to forget Elena was the main character of the show so definitely everything was going to be about even in s7 and s8 they have to keep mentioning her . Mostly who hates are either because of she doesn't choose Stefan or they just like another character more but their character isn't main cause be honest no one in that show is completely selfless other than bonnie but elena isn't the problem here is so typical of people the blame on main character especially female ones . Most people love Katherine even though she is selfish even though she has done worse thing but they hate elena because she act as human seriously it's just too much . Elena Gilbert is the main character of the series and the show does revolve around her and some people just hate that fact so they hate her i don't think vampires Elena was to blame either people who wanted to hate her will eventually hate her mostly it was because she chooses Damon one way or another she was Bound to get hate but that doesn't mean they aren't who loves her . I love her and will always love her .
Mostly agree with your rankings though I did add one person to the list that we technically see parent a tiny bit lol. I will miss the pod but I’m excited to see what you guys decide to do with the pod in the new year! Hopefully season 4 and maybe some originals when we get to that plot! 1. Liz Forbes 2. Miranda Gilbert 3. Rudy Hopkins 5. Grayson Gilbert/John Gilbert 6. Carol Lockwood 9. Esther Mikaelson/Lily Salvatore/Bill Forbes (does multiple years of good parenting make up for intensely emotionally scarring your children later? Undecided lol) 10. Katherine Pierce (was too selfish to Nadia when they did meet but she had good moments with her and did try to find her in Bulgaria) 11. Isobel Flemming (leaving Elena with Grayson/Miranda was a good parenting choice but like with Lily/Bill/Esther, does that outweigh the emotional scarring she does to Elena as a vampire?) 12. Peter Maxwell 13. Abby Bennett 14. Kelly Donovan 16. Giuseppe Salvatore/Richard Lockwood 17. Mikael Mikaelson
Hey love you guys❤❤ I think you should go on to season 4 but I also think after 4x20 you guys should start talking about the originals too
Is Isobel Katherine great great great great great great granddaughter because one of con did Julie and Caroline dries something revealed that nadia abandoned her child to look for her biological mother?
When it comes to Lily, she bought 3 train tickets with the money she stole from Giuseppe. He found the tickets and she tried to play it off like she got it for him and the boys to go on a trip, but really she was planning to escape with them. He beat her, of course. Then later, Lily gets consumption, ends up in the hospital, and some vampire gives her blood. Lily eventually dies from consumption and becomes a vampire since she had the blood in her system and figures out that she is a ripper, so she decides she’s too much of a risk to be around her sons. That doesn’t stop her from visiting Stefan one last time. Now, none of this excuses her choosing the heretics over her sons once they were older and already turned, but I can at least understand where Lily is coming from! In the end, she does choose her sons even over her lover and even dies over it, so I like to think she had a little redemption toward the end. 🙂↕️
After everything she did in seasons 6 and 7 i think she is a bad mother!
Intresting that having such parents as Esther and Mikael Klaus was rocking it as a father to Hope. Was gentle, open, loving, protective (in his overptotectivnes with Bex he said that he only would send those who fancies Hope and is not worth her to be a nun, thats progress). So as to me from TVDu best parents is Klaus & Hayley, and as weird as it is Alarick & Caroline (wanna throw up saying it)
it’s hard for me not to put bill forbes, richard lockwood, and kelly donovan all at #12 😅
while I love listening awake, you guys have helped my insomnia sooo much. listening to your voices explain episodes i’ve watched maybe 40+ times is just perfect. i can picture everything you’re explaining 😂
i love your analyses. i know the channel name is related to tvd but would love to listen to you guys' take on any other shows. enjoy the holidays. thank you so much. season 3 was so so fun!
Awe noo I’ll miss the pod :( Hope you girls enjoy your holidays! ❤ I Hope to hear more from you guys in the new year! (Season 4 rewatch??)
Thank you girls for this amazing episode! Happy holidays and see you next time :)
I agreed
Bonnies parents coming In Season 4 like they have any right to tell her what to do is crazy, especially since her dad became absentee because of her witch heritage. When Bonnie broke Abby's hand I was like 🎉🎉🎉.
Will donovan family bloodlines continue with matt?
This was tge peak of tvd for me. After Elena turned into vampire things went sideways
To expand on your idea of how the writers should have had Abby fake her d3ath, I feel like the simplest way they could have done it and that would make 100% sense is to have her be on the run from Klaus. The reason that Klaus would be after her is because even though she immobilized Mikael, something Klaus was happy about, Klaus wouldn’t want her to have a chance to do the same to him, so naturally he is hunting her down. This storyline idea immediately popped into my head when you both brought this and would have loved for this to be true. Having Klaus be the reason why she thought her mom was d3ad all that time would have added even more to the hatred that Bonnie felt for Klaus, and would have made the moment she immobilized Klaus in 3x21 even more meaningful.
