The Vampire Diaries perd son actrice principale

Clap de fin pour Elena Gilbert et Katherine dans The Vampire Diaries !

Nina Dobrev vient de confirmer la fin de son aventure vampiresque sur la CW après 6 saisons passées à Mystic Falls. C’est lors d’un week-end organisé avec une partie de l’équipe qu’elle a annoncé son départ.

Julie Plec, la showrunner de la série, prévoit déjà la suite : se concentrer sur les frères Salvatore. Mais la série survivra-t-elle au départ d’un personnage principal (autour duquel nombre d’intrigues furent formées au cours des 6 dernières années) ?

Voici la déclaration de Nina Dobrev via Instagram :

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

Dans le même ordre d’idées, Michael Trevino (Tyler Lockwood) ne sera plus membre régulier du cast, étant donné son engagement dans le pilot de la nouvelle série d’ABC The Kingmakers.
