'The Vampire Diaries' Death Toll: Characters we've loved and lost

We loved him because: Though he had some initial chemistry with Bonnie and we liked how they made things float with their minds, ultimately, Luka was using her to get that freaking moonstone. We don't really blame him for his transgressions, though. His dad was so focused on saving his (awful) sister, Greta, that he dragged Luka into his crappy plan.

We lost him because: Luka's dad sent him into the Salvatore house via astral projection to revive Elijah, but before he could pull the dagger out, Damon lit him on fire and basically turned him into a charred Lukaburger. It was gross.
