( CNN ) Just kill it already . That was the sentiment of many `` Vampire Diaries '' fans on Tuesday after star Nina Dobrev announced she will be leaving the CW show at the end of this season . `` 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 , '' she posted on her social media accounts after a `` goodbye party '' at Lake Lanier outside Atlanta , where the show is filmed . `` 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 . '' And while that may be true , fans were feeling a little jilted . Many chastised the show 's producers , some even Dobrev herself , for allowing the show to go on to a seventh season this fall after she departs . Many were upset that Dobrev 's departure could sink hopes of seeing a satisfying denouement to the relationship between Dobrev 's character , Elena Gilbert , and love interest vampire Damon Salvatore . Fans called the couple `` Delena . '' `` I feel angry , sad , depressed , numb but most of all I feel like part of me died along with Nina leaving TVD . Nothing will be the same again , '' Twitter user iDamonAndElena posted . Producer Julie Plec issued a statement supporting Dobrev 's decision . `` Nina is excited to spread her wings , get some rest , travel the world and also take it by storm , and we support her a thousand-fold , '' she said in the statement , according to media accounts . `` We will miss Nina and the four hundred characters she played , but we look forward to the insane and exciting challenge of continuing to tell stories of our Salvatore Brothers and our much-loved and gifted ensemble . '' No thanks , some fans said . Dobrev seemed to anticipate the pain , urging fans to hold on through the show 's finale next month . `` If you think you know what 's coming , you do n't , '' she said .
