We recently learned that the latest episode of The Vampire Diaries drew in the lowest ratings the show has ever seen, but could this have any implication on season seven?
I must admit, I was shocked when I heard the numbers, and there is no doubt they must be worrying to the show-runners. After all, this was the episode where so many troubling storylines were tied up.
It was heavily teased that Bonnie was going to return, and anyone following the show knew it was going to be Sheriff Forbes' funeral and the chance to see what happened with the long-awaited Steroline, so why did nobody care?
I really don't have the answer to this question. To me the community seems more engaged than ever about season six, but will ratings like these affect the future of the show?
Season seven has already be confirmed, and although there are whispers than one of the shows holy trinity (Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesely) have not signed on yet, this is not a certain truth.
I'm holding out hope that this will just be a blip in viewer numbers that will be ironed out by next weeks long-awaited episode.
But, if Ian Somerhalder at the helm as director can't give things a much-needed boost, then I am going to really start bashing on that panic button...
