[SPOILER ALERT] We were all socked in season six when Nina Dobrev’s character, Elena, went into a coma. Now, it appears as although the leading lady of the series will still be in danger despite being unconscious.
Paul Wesley, who plays the leading vampire, Stefan Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries, explained Elena’s importance to the storyline to TV Insider.
“Elena’s still a very big part of the story. Her body’s in danger in the first few episodes, and Damon is doing everything he can to make sure it stays safe if and when she wakes up.”
Damon is Stefan’s brother in the fictional vampire world, and the two have both been romantically involved with Elena.
Wesley continued to TV Insider, “We all had imagined this complete reboot where Elena was gone, but she’s talked about so much!
The seventh instalment will air on television screens on October 8.
