The CW president Mark Pedowitz was asked about the future of "The Vampire Diaries", following the exit of star Nina Dobrev, during an upfront press call Thursday morning.

As to be expected, he said that, after building toward a reset this season because of Dobrev’s departure, next season will be focused on Damon and Stefan and added that, under showrunner Julie Plec, he sees the 6-year-old vampire series going the distance in a way The CW’s longest-running drama, "Supernatural", has successfully done.

"It's inconceivable that an actress that central to a show is leaving before its conclusion," explains Emily Yahr. She adds: "Let's put it this way: Nina Dobrev leaving The Vampire Diaries is like if Bones left Bones. If House left House. If Mindy Kaling left The Mindy Project."
