MAJOR SPOILER WARNING: If you missed this week’s Season 5 finale of The Vampire Diaries, allow us to spoil it for you as simply as we can. Pretty much everyone died and went to the other side, only to later return with the exception of Ian Somerhalder’s Damon and Kat Graham's Bonnie. However, Matthew Davis’ Alaric did make his return. Recently, Julie Plec spilt the beans about the finale as well some spoilers for Season 6.
TVD’s executive producer Julie Plec recently spoke to TV Guide about happened to of Damon and Bonnie:
“Their fate is a mystery. The best way to sum it up is that all of our characters have had to come to terms with the fact that they are gone and have taken steps to move forward in their lives, for better or for worse, in grief or denial, and the question of when we see them and where are they and what happened is a part of the mystery in Season 6.”
Where Ian Somerhalder Damon and Kat Graham's Bonnie might be lost to the other side, Matt Davis' Alaric is back:
"All season long when we were talking about destroying the Other Side for good we knew that there were people over there we like to visit again and again. So it was our one final opportunity to either say goodbye to certain people or say hello again to certain people. We just did a random poll: ‘If there was anybody you wanted to see for sure that would devastate you to never be able to see again?’ The two answers were Lexi (Arielle Kebbel) and Alaric so we decided to make one devastating and one hopeful. The thing about Lexi is that she did a beautiful sacrifice for her friend which is really what that character was born to be--that rock for Stefan. Alaric was created to be a guardian to Elena and Jeremy and if there's anybody who needs that emotional support right now it's Elena...Him [returning] is a really beautiful circle back to that dynamic where he's going to be there for her as a friend and as emotional support. But also now he has to come to terms with what it's like to live life as a secret vampire. So she has something to teach him too. The Elena and Alaric friendship is something we're really looking forward to next year and I'm super excited to have Matt back. He's not only a fan favorite, but a cast favorite.”
