But Elena isn’t the only vampire who longs to return to life as a human, and the question of who will take the cure is resolved in the heart-stopping season finale, along with moments of unexpected joy, unspeakable sorrow, and a confession of true love. However, Ian Somerhalder, who plays Damon, assured fans in a recent interview that Elena is still in his character’s heart.

“We have a show lacking Elena Gilbert, and it’s the greatest challenge of all, but it rejuvenates your creative spirit”, Plec told TVGuide.
“That’s Damon Salvatore, you know what I mean?”
Ian Somerhalder reveals that throughout Season 7 of Vampire Diaries, Damon will be tearing himself apart deciding whether to keep Bonnie around or just get rid of her to get Elena back. “I would not recommend it”, he jokes in the video above.
Resetting a series, which is what Murder has to do, is never easy, and we’re only two weeks into the season, so there’s obviously no reason to panic.
The episode will focus on Damon’s attempts at surviving without Elena.
“Damon is still here”, Somerhalder added.
They will be catching the audience up on how Mystic Falls became “completely annihilated”.
Bob Mahoney/The CW Bonnie managed to make it back from the prison world in season six, but now her life is linked to her best friend’s.
In any case, Elena ends the season in a magically-induced coma – which she could stay in for the next 60 or so years.
Of course, as per a promo teaser, one place we know that it will go is to shots of a naked Salvatore chucking a towel at the formerly vampiric Alaric (Matt Davis). So he’s not going to recover easily and he’ll explore his grief in a few very unconventional ways involving a lot of booze and a few secret desires that involve psychics and witches and trying to contact the dead. Salvatore mom, Lily (guest star Annie Wersching) and her “family” of Heretics have made a decision to take over Mystic Falls.
“I’m thinking that this is the evolution of the show”, he said.

The premiere episode of “The Vampire Diaries” Season 7 airs on CW on October. 8 in the US, and Oct. 9 in Australia on Fox8. Immortality has its price, and the price for Steroline is waiting to see what happens after Stefan tells Caroline about his feelings for her. Until then, the couple agrees to be friends to avoid that awkwardness that comes with unresolved emotions.
