the vampire diaries’ season 7: damon learns who he is without elena
Season 7 of The Vampire Diaries: Damon finds himself without Elena
elena (nina dobrev) might be gone on “the vampire diaries,” but that doesn’t mean damon (ian somerhalder) is going to be any less in love with her in season 7. showrunner caroline dries says this year is going to involve damon learning who he is when he’s not in a relationship, but there are no plans for him to move on from his longtime love.
Elena (Nina Dubov) may be leaving The Vampire Diaries, but that doesn't mean damon (Ian Summerhead) has any lessened love for her in season seven. Producer Caroline Dryes said damon, a single man on this year's show, will learn to find himself, but there are no plans for him to empathize with him.
“i don’t like it when shows like ‘felicity,’ which i watched every episode of, but she was defined by who she was dating. our show kind of became that,” dries tells zap2it at cbs’s 2015 summer tv press tour party. “obviously damon is madly in love with elena, but what else do we know about him? not a ton.”
"Although I watched Felicity episode by episode, I didn't like to make the show like it, and the heroine was talked about because of the object of her relationship. Our TV series have a bit of this tendency," Dreith told Zap2it at a party on CBS' TV News Summer Tour in 2015. Obviously, Damon was madly in love with Elena, but what else do we know about him? Not a lot. ”
one of season 7’s goals will be learning about damon and what he does in his spare time. “bringing in his mom [lily] this season is going to shine some new light on new layers of his personality,” dries says. “he’s an interesting person.”
The goal of the seventh season will be to understand Damon and what he does in his spare time. "The appearance of his mother [Lily] this season will show the brilliance of his other personality," Dryes said, "and he's a very interesting person." ”
while damon will struggle with learning who he is when he’s not defined by his relationship, the writers get to find new ways to make his stories interesting. but even with his soul-searching, damon won’t be over elena.
When single Damon struggles to recognize himself, the writers find new ways to make his story interesting. But even his self-reflection could not make him forget Elena.
“he’s mourning her. he’s privately resenting bonnie (kat graham) for being alive while elena’s ‘dead.’ it’s not like it’s going to be the plot of every episode, but i think inside he’s spiraling a little, being like, ‘without elena, who am i?'” dries says. “it’s just the natural progression of the character. he’s not going to be crying over elena, but a lot of what he does is for elena in his weird way.”
He was mourning for her. He secretly hates Bonnie (Carter Granham) for Elena's death while Bonnie (Carter Granham) is alive. It's no longer going to be the plot of every episode, but I feel like he's bothered by it and thinks, "Without Elena, who am I?" "Dryes said." This is just a reasonable development of this role. He wouldn't cry for Elena, but he did a lot for Elena in his own weird way. ”
during the cw’s executive session at summer tv press tour, network head mark pedowitz opened the door for dobrev’s return. “we’d have loved nina to stay. she did a great job with the six years she was on the show. she is welcome back any time she wants to come back,” he says. “as you know, the character is sound asleep at the moment.”
At an executive meeting on CW's summer TV news tour, network director Mark Pedvitz welcomed Dubov's return. "We'll always want Nina to stay. She has performed well on the show for six years. "We are always welcome whenever she wants to come back," he said. "The character must be sleeping at the moment."
both he and dries reveal that the show is going to shift focus to tell the love story about brothers damon and stefan (paul wesley) salvatore now that dobrev’s character no longer on “the vampire diaries.” bringing their mother lily (annie wersching) into the mix is making that story more complicated.
Both he and Dryes knew that the Vampire Diaries, due to Dubov's departure, wanted to change the focus of the story about the love story of the Selvato brothers Damon and Stefan (Paul Wesley). The addition of their mom (Anne Vosch) would make the story more complicated.
“we were like, ‘how do we replace elena in the triangle between the brothers?’ and what kind of naturally happened is lily is the third point in the triangle,” dries explains. “they each love her and hate her in a different way, so she’s more of the katherine.”
We would think, "How do we replace Elena in the triangular relationship between brothers?" "It came naturally to mind that Lily was the corner of this triangle," Dryes explained. "They both love and hate her in different ways, so she's more like Catherine."
“they have different feelings towards her, and she’s able to manipulate them and love them differently,” dries continues. “she was trying to basically turn them against each other, but they’re like, ‘you know what? i’ve been brothers with him a long time, so i think i’m going to side with my bro.’ the love story this season is the brothers, so they’ll get the most screen time.”
"They feel differently about her, and she can manipulate them accordingly while loving them," Dryes continued. "She wanted to stir up dissension among them, but they would go like, 'You know what? We've been brothers for so long, so I think I'll still be on my brother's side. This season is a love story between their brothers, so the two of them have the most scenes. ”
also coming to the forefront are caroline (candice accola), bonnie, alaric (matthew davis) and enzo (michael malarkey) “a little bit, because he’s trying to figure out literally where he fits in the world.” “the vampire diaries” season 7 premieres on thursday, oct. 8 on the cw.
Also on the front lines of the show are Caroline Candice Arcola), Bonnie, Alaric (Matthew Davis), and Enzo (Michael Malachi) "also comes up because he wants to find a place in the world where he can be accommodated." The seventh season of The Vampire Diaries will premiere at CW on Thursday, October 8.
