Dobrev added that she would like the love triangle between Elena and the Salvatore brothers to be reignited in season four.
"I want her to have to make a decision again," the actress said. "She has to test out the waters."
Vampire Diaries showrunner Julie Plec revealed recently that Elena's transformation into a vampire had “been in the works for about two years”
"We didn't want to make a show about a teenage girl who instantly becomes a vampire," she said. "But we always knew that her journey would take her there eventually, and we just kept riding the wave of when it felt right."
“她是会变成一个斯特凡（Stefan）（保罗•韦斯利（Paul Wesley）饰）那样的吸血鬼、以兔子和松鼠为食呢，还是将成为一个达蒙（Damon）（伊恩•萨默海尔德（Ian Somerhalder）饰）那样的吸血鬼、完全地变成一个邪恶的杀手？”
杜波夫补充道，她希望在第四季中，埃琳娜和塞尔瓦托（Salvatore）兄弟之间的三角关系能再度复燃。
“我希望她能再选择一次，”杜波夫说。“她必须做出尝试。”
《吸血鬼日记》的制作人朱莉•普莱柯（Julie Plec）近日透露，将埃琳娜转变成吸血鬼这件事，已经计划了两年左右。
“我们不想制作一部关于一个一下子就变成了吸血鬼的少女的电视剧，”她说。“但是我们一直都知道她的命运最终会将她带向那里，而我们仅仅是在寻找那个正确的时间点。”
