Ian Somerhalder agrees with Dobrev about working together on "The Vampire Diaries," the show that brought them together. Somerhalder even reportedly threatened to quit TVD if Nina's character came back from the dead.
Somerhalder said he's been enjoying the freedom TVD's plots now have with Nina Dobrev's departure.
"They [Damon and Elena] were great characters separate, they were great characters together, and they remain great characters separated," Somerhalder recently said in an interview with E! News.

The "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7 cast agreed with the fans.
"Elena's still a very big part of the story," Paul Wesley, who plays the character of Stefan, told TV Insider. "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."

"I made the difficult decision last season to leave," Dobrev recently told Interview Magazine.
"I always knew that I'd signed up for a certain amount of time and I fulfilled it, I had a great experience, but everything has to come to an end and this was my time. It's like high school, you do four years and then you move onto the college."
Celebrity Dirty Laundry reports that Somerhalder was one of the reasons why Dobrev didn't want to return to "The Vampire Diaries."
"The Vampire Diaries" airs on CW every Thursday at 8 p.m. but will move to the Friday at 8 p.m. slot starting on January 29, 2016.
