Elena Gilbert, dopo sei stagioni di finte morti, innamoramenti, intrecci complicati e decisioni discutibili, scomparirà per sempre da The Vampire Diaries. Il personaggio interpretato da Nina Dobrev avrà comunque un finale che i fan non si aspettano, ma non per questo l’addio sarà meno doloroso.
L’annuncio dell’abbandono della serie arriva dalla stessa Dobrev, attraverso un post su Instagram: l’attrice era in vacanza con il resto del cast. Si pensava che fosse solo una semplice festa organizzata per la Pasqua, ma è bastato poco per rendere noto che in realtà era una festa d’addio, e non un semplice pic nic.
Dearest TVD Family, I've just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party. I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever. There's more to come before we wrap this up, and I promise you'll get to hear all about my experiences over the next month as we approach the season finale (I have given an exclusive interview for the June issue of SELF Magazine that I am excited for you to see!), but until then I invite you to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert's life and join me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her — and to my work family — as I move on to the next chapter of my life. I want to share this goodbye with all of you (this weekend's pictures were just the beginning). You, the wonderful fandom who gave more love, support and passion than anyone could have ever imagined seven years ago, when a young Degrassi girl from Canada showed up in LA to audition for 'that Twilight TV show.' ;-) I love you all. Fasten your seatbelts. If you think you know what's coming, you don't. Love, Nina

Anche Michael Trevino, interprete di Tyler, lascerà la serie. Nella foto pubblicata sui social, la Dobrev abbraccia Julie Plec, produttrice esecutiva dello show. Risultano scontate le domande sul futuro della serie tv: secondo le sue dichiarazioni, le vicende si sposteranno più su Damon e Stefan Salvatore, i due fratelli interpretati da Ian Somerhaldere e Paul Wesley.
Ma sembra difficile vedere una serie così popolare come The Vampire Diaries, che per molto tempo si è focalizzata sul triangolo Elena-Damon-Stefan, perdere la sua protagonista.
