Meanwhile, executive producer Caroline Dries has gushed to TV Line recently that they are now working on the possible aftermath of Damon's decision. "We're building towards the outcome of Damon's decision [whether or not to give Elena the cure] and the massive fallout this decision will have on Elena, as well as on everyone else," Dries said. Could this be hinting the possible way Elena Gilbert would be exiting the storyline?
