It looks as though Nina Dobrev’s exit storyline from The Vampire Diaries may have been revealed.

The show’s most recent episode seemed to tell fans how Nina’s character Elena Gilbert would leave after the actress recently announced that she would not be back for another season.

Fans had been expecting that she might bow out by taking a vampirism cure, and their suspicions seemed to be confirmed when Damon (Ian Somerhalder) told her that she would be taking the cure – and he would, too.

Damon dropped the cure bombshell at the end of the episode, leaving viewers expecting to see them share the vial of blood that would put an end to their eternal life.

However, Damon’s plan has worried some fans.

News of Nina’s planned departure came as a shock as she had been at the centre of the series, playing the lead character who was torn between two vampire brothers.

She is planning to take a break from the hectic filming schedule and then concentrate on new projects.
