The worst thing about The Vampire Diaries is that not everyone is in every season. No matter how attached fans get to a character, the actors often leave the show for other projects, or the series decides it’s more beneficial to kill them off.
While the plot is an entertaining aspect of the supernatural drama, the characters are what make or break it. The Vampire Diaries relies heavily on romance, and Elena Gilbert’s exit ended the central love triangle. But Elena wasn’t the only one who left the show too soon, as there are several characters fans wish would’ve stuck around longer.
10 Kai Parker
The villains are so well-written, that it’s easy to get just as attached to them as the rest of the cast. Kai wasn’t a good person, by any means, but to be fair, no one in the series is. His complete lack of empathy made his scenes comical, as he was never phased by the amount of chaos he caused.
His love for social media is one of the best running jokes in The Vampire Diaries and his interactions with Bonnie and Damon are especially entertaining. Kai could’ve been utilized in more than one season, but at least he popped up one more time before guest-starring in Legacies.
9 Rebekah Mikaelson
Rebekah stood apart from the rest of the Mikaelson because of her desire to be human. Despite being one of the most powerful creatures on the planet, Rebekah was willing to give it all up to be a normal teenage girl. She wore her heart on her sleeve, which is what made her such a complex individual.
Rebekah wasn’t as different from the other characters as they tried to make her out to be, as every horrible thing she did was because she loved her family. In The Vampire Diaries Season 4, the emotional vulnerability Rebekah displayed made her the beating heart of the show. When she left to star in The Originals, nothing ever felt the same.
8 Anna Zhu
Anna had one of the most heartbreaking deaths in The Vampire Diaries and it almost drove Jeremy over the edge. She was one of the only vampires in the first season other than Stefan who had pure intentions.
All Anna wanted was to be reunited with her mom, which showcased how Anna really was a fifteen-year-old girl at heart. Because she never had the intention of hurting anyone, her death was especially unjust. Anna did return briefly as a ghost, but it still wasn’t enough.
7 Vicki Donovan
Vicki might not have been a popular character but she was an interesting one. Her life was never boring, and the show began to pick up speed the moment Damon turned her into a vampire.
Vicki had a lot going on beneath the surface, and while it doesn’t excuse her actions in the afterlife, it made her unpredictable. Unlike Caroline and Elena, Vicki didn’t care about saving her humanity. It would’ve been an interesting story to tell had the show decided to keep her around.
6 Zach Salvatore
Zach wasn’t very entertaining, but it was because he never got the chance to be. There are so many unanswered questions about his own life and his relationship with the Salvatore Brothers.
Most vampires have family trees they could follow, but why did Stefan seek out Zach? And why did Zach accept him as his family knowing what he was? Even if the series was intent on killing him off, he could’ve been given more backstory or appeared more often in flashbacks.
5 Elena Gilbert
Elena is a hero fans seemed to hate in The Vampire Diaries. There were reasons to both like and dislike her, but a love triangle can make it difficult for anyone to look good. But no matter viewers’ personal opinions on the character, Elena was the glue that held the show together.
Her romances with Damon and Stefan were the main draw, and after she left, the story changed course. Team Stefan fans might have even gotten their wish had Elena stayed on board a little longer, as the showrunner admitted in a Deadline interview that they had wanted to get Stefan and Elena back together.
4 Lexi Branson
It could be argued that Stefan and Lexi had the best friendship in The Vampire Diaries. They never gave up on each other, and Lexi was the only person who understood Stefan down to his core. Lexi didn’t leave the show for good after her death and she continued to pop up as a ghost and in flashbacks.
While Lexi is a character that’s always great to have around, her appearances were special because of how rare they were. Lexi always showed up when Stefan needed her most, and it made moments that were already emotional hit even harder. Stefan could’ve used having Lexi around full-time, but their visits were bitter-sweet.
3 Jenna Sommers
Jenna becoming a vampire so Klaus could sacrifice her was a plot twist that no one saw coming in The Vampire Diaries. Out of all the characters, Jenna was the only one who remained completely pure. She was just a young woman who loved her family and was doing her best to raise two teenagers on her own.
Fans had been waiting for Jenna to find out the truth about Mystic Falls for two seasons, but they never got to see how it affected her. It was a plotline that should’ve been drawn out, but Jenna was killed before the information had too much time to resonate.
2 Klaus Mikaelson
Klaus was one of the main characters viewers missed the most. He remained in the universe for The Originals spinoff, but he was part of what made The Vampire Diaries so beloved. The show peaked when Klaus became a series regular and went downhill after he left.
Klaus and Caroline were a fan-favorite couple, but they ended up in separate shows before their relationship had a real chance. Klaus was the perfect mix of hero and villain, and there’s still no character quite like him in The Vampire Diaries universe.
1 Katherine Pierce
When Nina Dobrev left the series, Elena wasn’t the only one who stopped making an appearance. Katherine was killed the season before the actress’s exit, but it raises the question of whether Katherine would’ve stuck around if Nina did.
There’s no other explanation to kill off such an entertaining character, especially when Katherine is the only one who came close to filling the void the Mikaelsons left. Her appearance in the series finale wasn’t enough, and Katherine deserved more as a person and as a character.
