‘Legacies’, the spin-off series of ‘The Vampire Diaries’, is set in the same Mystic Falls where Elena and Damon, once upon a time, built their nest of love. Are they still living there?
‘Legacies’ takes place in the aftermath of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ series finale. Obviously, the show does reference the lead pair of the parent series Elena and Damon and their kids. In fact, most characters can be traced to ‘The Vampire Diaries’, including Salvatore School co-founder and headmaster Alaric Saltzman, his daughters Josie and Lizzie, and school librarian Dorian. But, fans of the TVD franchise want to know if Elena and Damon have already made their appearance on ‘Legacies’. Let’s find out.

- Where are Elena and Damon on ‘Legacies’?
The background story of ‘Legacies’
The last episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ saw the main characters racing to defeat Katherine Pierce, who was personifying the devil. Katherine plots to destroy the town of Mystic Falls and its residents by releasing hellfire. Bonnie Bennett uses magic, with the help of her ancestors, to push the hellfire back through the tunnels. Stefan sacrifices himself to make sure Katherine dies in the flames.
Stefan injects his brother Damon with the cure, just before he dies. Damon finally reunites with Elena. Bonnie uses her magic and breaks the sleeping spell cast on Elena by Kai, which awakens her. Elena says in the end that she and Damon live “a long and happy life together”, and in the last scene, we see a wedding band on her finger when they walk together hand in hand.
‘The Originals’ revealed what Elena is doing now
‘The Originals‘ was the next spin-off series of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ by Julie Plec. In the twelfth episode of season 5, titled “The Tale of Two Wolves”, a window reads “Elena Salvatore, M.D.”. This confirmed the fact that Elena, like her father, has become the doctor in Mystic Falls.
Where are Elena and Damon on ‘Legacies’?
In the tenth episode of ‘Legacies’ Season 1, titled “There’s a World Where Your Dreams Come True“, Lizzie is shown to be frustrated about living in Hope Mikaelson’s shadow. She takes the help of Ablah, a jinni who transforms Lizzie’s current reality into ones that don’t include Hope.
‘Legacies’, the spin-off series of ‘The Vampire Diaries’, is set in the same Mystic Falls where Elena and Damon, once upon a time, built their nest of love. Are they still living there?
Lizzie makes the first wish that says Hope Mikaelson will never come to the school. This would mean no generous endowments from Klaus (Hope’s father) in the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted.
When Lizzie questions their dire financial circumstances with her sister Josie. Her sister explains to Lizzie,
“Damon Salvatore has been as generous as he can be, but he and Elena have kids of their own that they need to take care of”.
Her second wish is Salvatore School not existing at all. This results in her and Josie attending Mystic Falls High School. There, in the school, we see Damon and Elena’s daughter Stefanie Salvatore. Josie asks Lizzie to steal her father’s watch which was a gift from Damon Salvatore.
Through this alternate dimension on ‘Legacies’, we are sure that Damon and Elena have at least one child and are alive and living in Mystic Falls. Although we have heard various references of them on ‘Legacies’, they haven’t made their appearance in any of its episodes.
It would be great to get even the slightest glimpse into the romantic lives of Elena and Damon together as a married couple. We know that they had a fairytale ending, as confirmed by Elena on ‘The Vampire Diaries’, we want to see them in person to feel their chemistry.
Hopefully, we will get to see them on ‘Legacies’ Season 3. Let us know if you are eagerly waiting to see Damon and Elena on ‘Legacies’ Season 3. Share your thoughts in the comments box below.
