Fans were devastated earlier this month when Dobrev announced that her character Elena Gilbert would be leaving the hugely popular show at the end of season 6. Trevino, who plays Tyler Lockwood, is also making an official departure from the show although executive producer Julie Plec explained his leaving is less final (“Even though he’s also going to be out in the world exploring new opportunities, we look forward to finding creative ways to make sure he and his character Tyler Lockwood always remain a part of the show,” she said via a statment to Us Weekly.)

It’s not just fans who have been mourning the news. Costar Michael Malarkey, 31, who plays Enzo in the show, told Us recently that tears were shed during Dobrev’s final table read.

“We kind of knew about it a while back,” he said of his workmate’s departure news. “But especially at the table read through the last episode she definitely got choked up a couple of times. It was a real good community kind of moment at the table reading because everyone was there and there was a real buzz in the air.”
