One of the theories that’s circulating among fans right now is actually quite worrying for many of them. There is a possibility that we could see Stefan having to kill Damon in order to resolve the situation, and that was seemingly already implied in some of the previous episodes of this season.
While “The Vampire Diaries” has been no stranger to dramatic developments, that would probably take things a bit too far even for this show, according to some fan discussions we’ve seen. Hopefully the producers understand the importance of the brothers’ relationship in the overall plot.
For what it’s worth, the showrunners behind “The Vampire Diaries” actually seem to be quite in touch with the desires of their community, and they’re clearly always keeping an eye on what people are saying about the show, as evident by some changes they’ve made to it occasionally.
With that in mind, hopefully they’re also watching the current discussions closely and are ready to backtrack on some of their planned developments if they don’t get the responses they were hoping for. Otherwise, it might not actually be too far-fetched to assume that “The Vampire Diaries” may be on its way out after this season. The show’s fans could probably endure more, but the network might decide to pull the plug if the ratings get too poor.
