“The Vampire Diaries” has been going through strange motions lately, and the show might be headed in a bad direction if the latest rumors are to be believed. Many fans are currently worried about the future of the production in light of recent events, and there have been additional rumors that further fuel those fears. It’s not very clear what the situations is like behind the doors of the studio right now, but fans are starting to get increasingly anxious, judging by discussions on the Internet.
It mostly started with the departure of Nina Dobrev, which was a very controversial event among fans of the show and many were convinced that it was indicative of the whole production going down sooner or later. While those rumors weren’t really founded in reality back then, they have been compounded by additional speculation by the community recently, and right now fans aren’t sure what’s going to happen. The producers themselves have been relatively quiet and they seemingly don’t want to reveal their plans for the future seasons of the show, so there is no help on that front.
There is some speculation that the closer we’re getting to the future flashforwards occasionally shown in the episodes of the series, the more likely it gets that the show is coming to an end. These flashforwards have always been an interesting point of reference for some fans, but it’s hard to say what the producers’ intentions were when they originally decided to throw them in the mix. They certainly add a lot to the back (and not just) story of the show, and have been a favorite detail of many fans.
But according to some theories, those flashforwards are actually a red herring and not indicative of what’s truly about to happen to the show’s characters. If those rumors turn out to be true, then the producers could have something more dramatic planned for their fans that’s going to drastically alter the course of the show’s plot, and possibly end it on a negative note for everyone.
In other words, the flashforwards could turn out to be false as the show might end up taking a different turn that invalidates them completely, and while this may sound like a far-fetched theory, it could also make sense in light of how the show has been moving forward recently. And indeed, if the producers really are planning to end “The Vampire Diaries” after season 7, this could be an interesting way to end it, even if it’s a bit of a dark one and not exactly what many fans would want to see.
The producers of the show have clearly displayed a willingness to take risks and they are no strangers to playing with their fans’ emotions, which is why we wouldn’t be surprised if they really are planning a more dramatic conclusion to the plot and something that will shake up everyone. For now, the show has a seventh season to go through, and it’s been moving along quite well in this regard.
Fans also have plenty to occupy their minds with for this season, as there have been various subplots that have been drawing their attention and generating a lot of hype on the Internet as fans have been arguing over what’s about to happen. One of the hottest topics right now is the relationship between Stefan and Caroline, and this is something that the writers are hopefully going to resolve sooner rather than later, as it’s been driving some fans crazy with anticipation.
