In the series finale of The Vampire Diaries, fans bawled their eyes out watching the Salvatore brothers fight over who would die to save the town of Mystic Falls. In the end, Stefan (played by Paul Wesley), newly human again, sacrificed his future with his wife, Caroline (played by Candice King), to save his brother, Damon (played by Ian Somerhalder), and the town he has loved for nearly two centuries. “You have quite literally an eternity with Elena ahead of you,” Stefan reminds Damon, before injecting his brother with the cure for vampirism and taking his place.
But Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, co-creators of The Vampire Diaries, didn’t always intend for Stefan to be the only brother to die. In fact, Williamson always imagined Elena ending up with Stefan — not Damon — and he would have wanted to return to the love triangle before the series finished.

In an interview with Deadline, he said, “Well, I always thought it would be Stefan and Elena. They were sort of the anchor of the show, but because we lost Elena in season 6, we couldn’t go back. You know Nina could only come back for one episode — maybe if she had came back for the whole season, we could even have warped back towards that, but you can’t just do it in 42 minutes.”
Watching the finale now — which ends with Elena (played by Nina Dobrev) and Damon living a long life together after Elena finishes medical school, walking down the street holding hands, and eventually finding peace with their late family members — it’s hard to imagine how the show’s could end any other way.

But the initial plan was for Damon to die. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Plec said, “Back in season 2, when Kevin and I were sitting in the mall and we had fallen in love with this series and this story about two brothers who loved the same girl, and the love triangle was kicking into high gear, we said to ourselves: When all is said and done, when this show is over, both brothers should die in the name of saving their girl and then be watching her like ghosts … as she went off into the sunset to live her life and maybe marry Matt Donovan or maybe become a doctor, but that those brothers would be side-by-side watching her live.”
The love triangle between Stefan, Damon, and Elena has always been a strong point of The Vampire Diaries, and the emotional resonance between all three characters made it a truly impossible choice throughout the years. Season six was arguably one of Damon and Elena’s more dramatic seasons, because she chose to erase all good memories of Damon after she thought he died. (He was actually trapped in a magical prison world.) When Damon finally returned, a lot of fanfare was made of the two reuniting, since all Elena could remember of Damon was that he was “a monster.”
