Vampire Diaries EP Hints at 'Legit' Reason for Stefan and Caroline's dividido, dividir 

fans ever since Caroline’s Stefan-less future was revealed last month: What could he

A natural assumption would be that all this Valerie drama — including, but not limited to, the fact that she swiped Stefan’s V-card 

was pregnant with his child — becomes too much for Caroline to handle, but according to executive producer Caroline Dries, there’s a lot more to the story.

“Valerie is part of the reason, but it’s a much bigger, more emotional, legit reason,” Dries tells TVLine. “It’s beyond petty jealousy or Stefan cheating on Caroline or anything like that.”

That said, you can still count on plenty of Stefan/Caroline/Valerie drama to come.

“This season is about [our characters] growing up and becoming adults,” Dries explains, adding that Stefan’s almost-baby is “something he will be really be thinking about as we move forward in the season. He’ll keep thinking, ‘I could have been a dad.’ We had many ideas [for their backstory], but we felt this was the most symbolic and thematic.”

I’ve been enjoying the flash-forwards, and wish we got to spend more time in that future world. Can’t wait for the explanation of how things ended up changing so radically for everyone.

I’ll only care if SC break up for good. Why can’t Stefan be with someone exciting and hot? Instead we get these two boring and chemistry LI for him. I just need him to have someone he has actual chemistry with. Btw that pic of him is hot.

enough with those damn baby storylines oh and steroline sucks

Caroline Dries needs to go. This season has been dull and repetitive and all over the place. The only elements they’re getting right (Damon/Bonnie/Alaric + the flashforwards) are the ones that are getting the least amount of screentime, instead we get another pointless love triangle and the boring Heretics while there’s a much more badass villain in the horizon we still know nothing about (I’m talking about the huntress, since Julian seems like just another boring Heretic-to-be).

EXACTLY! They push this chemistry free couple over a BLATANT chemistry Bamon? Each week I think ok they have to show more Damon and Bonnie but no we get less of them and more Sterosnooze. No wonder these ratings are down. They need to use their strengths and not their weaknesses. Nothing can make sterosnooze interesting especially another ‘Caroline’ and that’s what Valerie is. More boring girls for Stefan and more boring storylines for us.

So I can continue to hate their relationship that ends? Perfect!

Wtf “This season is about [our characters] growing up and becoming adult” lmao arent stefan and damon over 150 years old!

and stop this effin baby stuff enough its bad enough that caroline will be forced to carry alric twins and nameing one lizzie dosent make it any less gross and disgusting!

Totally agree! I was laughing about the growing up and becoming adult quote. Shouldn’t men that are over 150yrs old already be mature shouldn’t they have learned several life lessons by now and be wiser than the 18 yr olds they are dating? lol I can’t take anything that CD says, everything that comes out of her mouth is hideous. I’m still trying to figure out how she’s still in charge. Between SC and Caroline twin sl they are completely ruining everything I liked about Stefan and Caroline. They ruined a beautiful friendship and now they are making Caroline carry around gross Alaric’s babies. ugh!

UGH, who cares about SC? They are boring, has ruined Caroline’s character to no end, and made me come to hate Stefan and the fact that they literally cannot have a story-line outside one another. Give me a freaking crossover, at least the Mikaelsons with Bonnie and Caroline and Enzo would be something worth watching

Yes! Worst tvd couple ever. No sexual or romantic chemistry AT ALL

Good. Can’t stand the couple anyways. Caroline deserves better, and we all know that if Elena was still around, she’d come first in the long run, no matter what. I miss Klaus and the good dynamic he used to have with Caroline. He was the only person who really understood Caroline’s worth, and the power she had within her.

As long as they find their way back to each other.. We’ve waited far too long to have them taken away from us so soon.. Steroline was perfect last episode..

But shippers are wacko, they have no concept of good storytelling

Im sure they will find their way back to each other but it still sucks that they had to break them up for no reason and make Caroline engaged.

Stefan & Caroline are soulmates who belong together. I can’t wait for their reunion. They have a lovely dinamic, evrything about them is perfect.

Wait what? I don’t get this show. They tease and setup Stefan and Caroline, proclaim them the next Elena and _____ romantic lead story for the series with Nina Dobrev gone…they spend time this season establishing their romance and chemistry, all to start teasing that they will break up just what? 4 seasons into this season?

Unless this is the final season and they are setting it up that way with the flash forwards and Caroline and Stefan aren’t meant to be together, then I don’t like them ALREADY breaking them up…it is pretty lame (but typical of Plec and The CW).

I really hope that it’s Caroline that is finally “growing up” and getting away from the toxicity this the Salvatore brothers.

BRING ON THE ANGST. I wasn’t sure about Steroline going into S6 but they’ve really sold me on this pair and I AM HERE FOR THE RIDE.

LOL famous last words, I’ll probably regret this later but for now I’m just enjoying this story and this couple so much. I’ll take whatever the show throws at me.

We’re not that lucky that they’re going to break for good…I will continue skeptical.

I’m sorry, characters are growing up? THAT CALL CHARACTER DELEMENT. You had the whole series to change these characters instead it’s “let give lots of fan service to pro long the story”. This is why the whole series went to crap. Instead of fan shipping how about a story. This will be canceled for sure.

to tell u the truth I like the show much more now then I did when elena was in it. I love steroline, I really hope they don’t break up for long. steroline forever:]

This is Vampire Diaries 2.0. Everything is reinvigorated and has the energy of a new series. I think the show has the kind of legs that Supernatural has if people give it a chance. I’m not a shipper; I just love the storytelling.

I’m so tired of all the love triangle on this show let Caroline and Stefan have there relationship for at least season 6a and then start throwing in drama it’s just not fair as a steroline shipper for a couple we have been waiting many years forward to now have to break up its just stupid

Again with the damn love triangles. I thought we were past that when Elena left, but I guess not.

Can we just have the badass Caroline back? a storyline where it doesn’t involve being with a guy. Give her something good to do.

As much as I love them together… after a lot of build up they are already teasing their break up???

It’s hilarious that everybody that watches the show ONLY wants stefan to suffer and Damon to be happy. Why does everyone hate stefan? Or him with any girl they put him with? is it paul wesley do you all just hate paul wesley?

Huh? Where are you seeing that people hate Stefan or want him to suffer here?

Ha, no. The problem is that there are a lot of kc fans that want Caroline with Klaus. Other fans, like myself, who do love Paul and his character Stefan just want him with someone he has chemistry with. People also had and continue to have problems with the way S/C have been written starting in s6. Stefan had great chemistry with Elena/Katherine/Rebekah but him and Caroline do not. What they should’ve done knowing that the kc fandom is big and especially since S/C have no romantic chemistry they should’ve given Stefan a brand new love interest this season (made sure they had chemistry of course). I agree that Stefan gets hate on and it’s not fair all because of these stupid ships but I feel in this case with S/C the writers/show runners shot themselves in the foot. As far as Damon goes there are a lot of db fans not to mention others that have seen their chemistry and are rooting for Damon and Bonnie. So it’s not so much people want Stefan to suffer and Damon to be happy it’s more that they need to pair Stefan up with chemistry and give him better story lines.

Well said! Personally I hate how they keep changing Stefan’s past. And your mention of Rebekkah made me sad…I loved her and Stefan together!

Plec should tie up the storyline. The ratings are really low. Imagine Spring+DST.
