Ever since Legacies premiered fans wondered if some of their beloved The Vampire Diaries characters would return. But upon being asked if they would ever return a few of the main cast members flatly refused. Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley who portrayed Damon and Stefan Salvatore for the entire Vampire Diaries series run are still great friends and have started a bourbon company inspired by the show. The two keep in touch with Plec and some of their old co stars. But they are not interested in reprising their roles. And they noted they would only return to the franchise as directors. No I am vampired out Wesley said via Us Weekly. Well we would go Somerhalder added. Like if we were to direct.
