Nina Dobrev is about to take her final bite out of The Vampire Diaries. In a stunning announcement, the actress posted a long message on Instagram that confirmed she will say goodbye to The CW smash at the end of The Vampire Diaries Season 6 . Dobrev will exit the series as has been widely reported today, and she explained the decision in a post that included the following photo of her and series creator Julie Plec. “I’ve just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries.” “I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn’t just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party,” she wrote. “I always knew I wanted Elena’s story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. “I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger.” “I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there’s still so much more to come before the season finale in May.” “Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I’ll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever.” Dobrev, of course, dated co-star Ian Somerhalder for many years. Somerhalder is now engaged to Nikki Reed , with the couple rocking some major PDA on social media on a nearly weekly basis. Many will certainly jump to the conclusion that Dobrev is leaving The Vampire Diaries due to this awkward situation. 25 Hottest Nina Dobrev Pics 1.
