Main character leaves The Vampire Diaries

Nina Dobrev has announced via Instagram that she will not return for the seventh season of ‘The Vampire Diaries’. The current sixth season will be the last for Elena.

Below the message that Dobrev wrote on Instagram:
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 on Instagram. “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.”

What do you think, is Elena essential for ‘The Vampire Diaries’, or is it a good thing that she is leaving?
