“The Vampire Diaries” (TVD) fans faced shell shock as official reports confirmed that Nina Dobrev is leaving the CW show at the end of Season 6. On Monday, April 6, Dobrev’s 4.7 million followers were informed of the news via Instagram. Dobrev posted a photo of herself and series creator, Julie Plec. The photo was accompanied by an extensive caption reflecting on her experiences as Elena and her resignation from the show.
The weekend prior, Dobrev spent time at Lake Lanier in Georgia, where the show is filmed. During this time, the cast and crew of TVD had a party. After the party, Dobrev posted, “I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn’t just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party.”
According to Dobrev, “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.”
Over the course of six seasons, Elena’s life was an exciting rollercoaster ride for Dobrev: “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.”
“Vampire Diaries” is set for an upcoming season. A large number of TVD fans are very upset that Elena Gilbert will no longer be part of the cast for Season 7. A total of 157,000 of Dobrev’s Instagram followers voiced their opinions about her resignation in the comments.
Fortunately, not all hope is lost for TDV fans. Dobrev reassures us that “there’s still so much more to come before the season finale in May.”
Dobrev concluded her message by posting, “Fasten your seatbelts. If you think you know what’s coming, you don’t.”
The Season 6 finale is set to air in mid-May.
