Croline is played by Candice Accola, and Damon's little brother Stefan, portrayed by Paul Wesley.

Regarding the much possible "Vampire Dairies" love triangle co-creator and executive producer Julie Plec has revealed to Entertainment Weekly

"Well, you know, I think people will actually be surprised by how each of those three have individually handled the tragedy that they've had to face. In the beginning of the season, it's really about trying for all these friends to find their way back to each other, as opposed to having set the stage for any romantic entanglements. If anything, they've disentangled briefly from each other."

"Vampire Dairies" Season 6 would premier in October 2014.
