While Stefan is out of the picture, that doesn’t mean that Elena and Damon will necessarily get together teases Vampire Diaries producer Kevin Williamson.
“”Just because we’re putting her with Damon doesn’t mean they’re going to end up together. And it doesn’t mean they’re going to get together,” he tells TV Line. It’s not so much about, ‘Are Damon and Elena going to fall madly in love and live happily ever after?’ It’s, ‘Are Damon and Elena going to be able to find the man they both love?’ It’s going to be fun to watch Damon and Elena form this relationship that at its core is about a search for the man they both care about.”
Williamson went on to say that Damon and Elena’s time without Stefan will define the future of The CW series.
“Are they going to be friends? Lovers? How are they going to define themselves?” he asked. “Because it will be a defining moment for both of them.”
