That future scene actually triggered plenty of speculations on who could be Caroline’s fiancé. Among those characters that made it to speculation include Matt and Tyler, with whom she dated years back, Alaric, Jeremy and Enzo. Or it could be someone entirely new which could only be known in subsequent episodes of “The Vampire Diaries” Season 7.
As if that was not enough, the third episode aired on October 22 featured the entry into the Steroline picture of heretic Valerie Tulle, thereby lending credence to the bleak future of the new couple.
It turns out that Stefan did not only fall for Valerie’s charm, he also got her pregnant back in 1863 so right there and then, fans already have an idea why Caroline hates Stefan so much in the future. But in the present, she is still not aware that Stefan already had a past with Valerie.
It was also revealed that Valerie is Stefan’s first love and not Katherine, the doppelganger of Elena Gilbert, previously played by Nina Dobrev.
It was a big news to fans of Steroline who were really disheartened by the unfolding of Stefan’s backstory with Valerie especially when it was revealed that he has actually impregnated the naïve witch then, but she lost the baby because of Julian.
