Ian Somerhalder's Damon Salvatore Talks About Life Without Elena

The Vampire Diaries fans just couldn't get enough of the upcoming season's never-ending spoilers as Ian Somerhalder's Damon Salvatore spoke about life without his beloved Elena Gilbert.

The last chapter of The Vampire Diaries has left Delena believers totally broken, following the exit of the show's main character Nina Dobrev, which brought her Elena Gilbert character to a sleep in a coffin like a beautiful lifeless vampire.

After that heart-wrenching scene, many TVD loyalists were all left wondering what's in the next season for Damon Salvatore, who sees Elena as the only person who survives him from going back to his old self as a 'ripper'.

"There is a really incredible evolution of the story that is going to happen and she's still within the story. She's very much present in the hearts and the mind of all the characters." Ian Somerhalder said during his one-on-one interview with the Entertainment Tonight.

When being asked if the 'Delena' loyalists will have to ready their hearts from being broken all over again for Damon's possible new love interest, Somerhalder responded that it "is far down the road."

"I mean, look, she told him, 'Listen, you waited for Katherine for 150 years and you weren't a saint. Don't sit around and wait. Go have fun! And he does whatever she tells him to." Somerhalder added.

Though Somerhalder was aware of the fact that since Nina Dobrev left the show, it has been really hard for the 'Delena' fans to get over it, he was confused about how Damon and Elena ended being so in love with each other and turned out as the TVD soul mates.

"I said from the beginning, even when it was about Stefan and Elena. 'How in the world can people want this girl to be with either one of these guys? They've basically killed everyone she has ever known, she burned her house because she was so distraught." Somerhalder said.

He went on saying, "Damon tried to kill her brother not once, but twice, and Damon is 174 and she's 18. It is the ultimate version of cradle-robbing."

Later in the interview, Somerhalde was asked about the 'Steroline' baby and jokingly responded "Why does it have to be Stefan's? Why can't it be Damon?"

The Vampire Diaries Season 7 has just released a new teaser trailer, which will air on October 8, Friday.
