why is ian somerhalder leaving vampire diaries
Fans are still drying their tears after the intensely emotional goodbye between Damon and Elena on the May 15 finale of The Vampire Diaries, and some are even speculating that Ian Somerhalder decided to leave the show because of tension between himself and his co-star and real-life ex-girlfriend Nina Dobrev.n case you missed it, Damon and Bonnie (Kat Graham) both died on the Season 5 finale after they travelled to âthe other sideâ to save their friends, including Stefan (Paul Wesley). Damon and Bonnie faced a relatively pleasant death compared to others who have been killed off on the show in the past.
