However, when asked whether or not there is a chance for them to be romantically involved with one another, Somerhalder said that Damon only loves Bonnie as his friend.

Additionally, he explained that Damon will feel obliged to take care of Bonnie because he knows that that's what Elena would want and expect from him.

The actor also said that Damon will be screwed if Elena wakes up from her deep slumber, and finds out that Bonnie is dead.

Meanwhile, fans are also wondering whether or not there is any truth to the rumors that Somerhalder will exit the series after season 7.

According to MTV News, the actor recently dropped other details about the fate of Damon, and it's very obvious that the character still has a very long way to go in terms of storylines.

Somerhalder also hosted a Q&A session on his Facebook account on Oct. 5 where he responded to some of his fans' questions.
