Is ‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 6, episode 18 new tonight? Ian Somerhalder reminisces
We are back again today to be the bearer of bad news once again when it comes to “The Vampire Diaries“: There is no new episode airing tonight on The CW. Luckily, this is the last time that we’re going to be reporting this for a little while. Next week, the show returns to the network with “I Could Never Love Like That,” which is the first of five episodes that will be airing weekly until the season ends.
What is especially interesting to us is that there is no new episode of “The Vampire Diaries” airing at all tonight. Instead, in the place of the show will be a repeat of “The Flash.” Three years ago when this show was the crown jewel in the CW lineup, we would have never imagined this happening.
Ultimately, it is fair to say that there is no shortage of news out there when it comes to “The Vampire Diaries” at the moment. Nina Dobrev’s announced departure earlier this week ensured that. This was news that really reverberated through the entire fandom, and mostly because she was the face of the show and there are at least temporarily plans to continue the show without her … even if it is only for one year.
We don’t think that it is any coincidence that Ian Somerhalder chose to share an image on Instagram today reflecting on his own time on the show. This is a time for looking back given the recent news, but we don’t get the sense that he is planning to leave the series anytime soon. We mostly just feel for him now given that there is a whole heap of nonsense reporting out there about him tied to Nina leaving.
