It’s been more than two years since Ian Somerhalder said goodbye to The Vampire Diaries, but Damon Salvatore is still alive and well in Mystic Falls — and he’s been busy.
While speaking with Somerhalder about his upcoming Netflix series V Wars — which premieres on Thursday, Dec. 5 — TVLine asked the actor if the name Stefanie Salvatore means anything to him. His immediate response: “Oh, yeah, isn’t that my daughter?”
Indeed, Stefanie Salvatore — as referenced during a Season 1 episode of The CW‘s Legacies — is the daughter of Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore, named in loving memory of the late, great Stefan. (For the record, it’s unclear whether Stefanie actually exists, as she was only mentioned in an alternate reality, but let’s not get bogged down in semantics.)
“I haven’t been able to dive too deep into the story of Legacies — we’ve been in post-production on V Wars for 11 months — but it’s amazing to know that these characters are still going,” Somerhalder says. “They’re doing a really great job. It’s a fun show and it looks cool.”
He also keeps in touch his Vampire Diaries co-star Paul Wesley, who directed an episode of Legacies‘ first season.
“It’s wild,” Somerhalder says. “Paul was on set and sent me a video message. He was like, ‘This is a trip. These are our sets. This is like a time warp!'”
We’ll have more V Wars insight from Somerhalder as the show’s Dec. 5 premiere approaches, but for now, drop a comment with your thoughts below: What do you think Damon is up to in Mystic Falls?
lets hope Stefanie Salvatore shows up for real this season on Legacies!
Sadly with the timeline { it only being nine/ten years since the end of TVD on Legacies, Elena finishing College, going to medical school, and doing her residence } as it is Stefanie would only 5 years of age or younger on the show.
I’d love to have them just make Damon a stay at home Dad who raised her well Elena became a doctor and this way Stefanie could at least be 7 or 8 years of age and have Pedro be her sidekick around her Salvatore Boarding School adventures.
Really good idea
The show starts in like 2 weeks where’s the trailer?
Legacies season 2 is already airing. 2×05 airs tomorrow (Thursday)
What channel this on and why is there no trailers
It’s on the CW. TVLine has had several articles about it, including trailers and clips. Try the search box.
Original poster Nathan is asking about the non-existent trailer for V Wars, not about Legacies. V Wars begins in just a few weeks on Netflix, but bizarrely, there’s no trailer.
I think that would be awesome and I hope they get someone that looks like Damon and Elena.
Damon is a stay at home dad who spends all of his.free.time romancing his forever.love and doting on his amazing daughter
She could be a doppleganger. Maybe Damon owns Mystic Grill.
Probably the bar Alaric is always going to. Also know. Nina can’t/won’t play a teenager anymore.
nina wouldn’t be playing a teenager anymore, because of the timeline she’d be in her mid-to-late 20s
If they don’t want to screw up Legacies. Never involve these two or anything related to them. EVER!
You are spot on.
I hope that Damon and Elena come to the series.Omg that would be awesome.As their Daughter could be supernatural by being A Doppel ganger,maybe they could have a son that’s a vampire to.So many thoughts on this.I enjoyed hearing even their names and their children helped Lizzy n Jossy with something.
Or just a witch/hunter, two things that elena’s bloodline has
we don’t know many children Damon and Elena have? we might get another mention or news that Damon and Elena are now the parents of newborn twins and one of them is named Stefanie and maybe they will name the other twin Lorenzo!
Elena ruined Vampire Diaries. Let’s not have her ruin Legacies as well.
how about a cameo photo appearance of her with Damon and their babies, would that be enough for u?
what is wrong with you? are you crazy??
I really liked Elena in the first 4 seasons but after that she started to grate on me. I was glad of a break from her during season 7 (one of the better seasons).
Damon and Elena could maybe have a child that was a Vampire/Doppelganger or if they had twins one could be a vampire and the other could be a Doppelganger.
Loving and protecting his family and adoring his daughter. Oh yeah and helping May keep Mystic Falls straight!!!
Hes most likely enjoying being human again, especially with Elena Gilbert. So, therefore, hes taking care of what he needs to do with life and take care of his daughter right? Also, while elena does her job amd a doctor too. Anyway, it’s great to know Ian is doing so well and doing good for 11 months of V Wars can’t wait to see that!
That would be amazing if he agreed to be on Legacies!
I can’t wait for V wars to start.
I’m thinking he being more in love with Alana and more in love with daughter .he’s being the best dad he can be and doing the good he needs to do .but don’t get me wrong g I love his good and bad .he just doing the family thing now .
Yes we want see damon,Stefan and bonnie in legacies
I would love to see Damon, Elena, Caroline, Bonnie, Matt and Stefan on Legacies. They can bring Stefan back. He’s cheated death a ton of times. It’s TV…fantasy, why not!
I think Damon is living a happy life in Mystic Falls with Elena Gilbert and their daughter Stephanie Salvatore… I think there should be a wedding scene for Damon and Elena!
I totally think they should for some kind of closure. It’d be nice if the writers read comments like these and considered them. We are the fans ~ the lifeline of the show.
I think that Legacies needs help and bringing Vampire Diaries and Originals cast will put Legacies right up there!
I think, they should show Damon and Elena ‘s life or their children especially Stefanie’life in legacies….l hope so..
Really dont care what Damon has been up to Im just so excited to hear that he will be back on a tv series!! I so miss the Vampire Diaries cus the new show out Legacies just isnt near as good! Sorry yall just a huge Vampire Diary fan!
Would love to see Damon back on the show. It doesn’t make sense that he lives in Mystic Falls and doesn’t drink with his buddy Alaric. It would be great for him to come consult on some cases. I like the idea of Stephanie being supernatural in some way and the twin thing. It would be cool if he had. Connection to the new vampire. And also can’t wait for V Wars.
Omg I’m so excited
Trying to Get Stefan back!
The amount of booze they consumed during the series. Must have led to their own rehab clinic. Go for it boys.
Cool concept but how would she fit into the supernaturals at the school. Both Elena and Damen were human with no powers before becoming vampire and then back to human.
unless Stefanie has a birthmark she was born with that a symbol to angels and marking her soul, meaning once she dies a human death, she will be reborn and become an angel/celestial servicing heaven aka bright world and other higher angels/celestials who run it. if legacies can bring in demons, maybe its time for the angels to have their turn. perhaps the angels can come in for season 3, that is if it get renewed!
Yes wold love to see Damon Salvatore back
Biteing i hope. I cannot wait bring the two brothers back please !!!!
Can’t wait, Lived Ian in Vampire Diaries !!!!!
Living his best human life with Elena, but still a little mischievous!
