Take things back to Rose, the new character introduced in her self in titled episode itself. She was relieved to be the new tình yêu interest for Damon long before we actually was due to come across her on the screen, and people were not happy about his new storyline. Although not as much as the outrage những người hâm mộ are hiển thị now, a few people weren't happy. As we saw the story between them progress, we saw one of the most important things that gave us DE những người hâm mộ something to relax over - she was well aware, and RESPECTED that he was very much in tình yêu with Elena. Rose often mentioned Elena, and the relationship between Damon and her, and she did not once try to harm Elena, after she was with Damon, knowing that he loved her. She understood that between the two of them, it wasn't love, and Rose understood that she was never going to be anything thêm for Damon, which also showed when she đã đưa ý kiến she was his 'special friend'. Elena to Damon is obviously thêm than a special friend.
Rose also listened to Elena and, doing the best she could, helped her. Through his, Elena and Rose showed kindness towards each other, which hiển thị mostly during Rose's death, which also leads and brings back Damon to the situation. After the event with Rose, ultimately, it brought THEM CLOSER THAN BEFORE. Elena, after the incident with Jeremy, and telling Damon that she wasn't his friend, showed distance between the two, yet after Rose's death, Elena HUGGED Damon and and acknowledged him as her friend, which was an improvement than it was before, and through the episodes after, they only got closer. If Rose had not been introduced, it may have took them longer to become closer themselves, which shows that although us những người hâm mộ were annoyed at the announcement of Rose at the start, at the end, she was a key part in the story to bring Elena and Damon closer, and improve their story.
The một giây time Damon had a tình yêu interest, the DE những người hâm mộ once again freaked out once again, even if it was simply one episode later, people still were not happy about this new tình yêu interest, straight after Rose, and this was most likely due to how close Elena and Damon got at the end of the episode with Rose's death. But the one important thing that remained the same with this new 'love interest' is that the only reason Damon stayed with them, hoặc even started with them in the beginning, was not for Love, but, to but it quite simply, a sleeping buddy. The first thing he did with both woman was sleep with them, and he didn't feel any tình yêu towards them, no true tình yêu hoặc crushes, just sex, and for Andie, to simply feed on, which shows furthermore that she was never really a tình yêu interest.
In the episode of Andie's death, however, the ending with DE was not as close, which may be what some of the những người hâm mộ may be worrying about, but here is why bạn shouldn't worry. Although we did not get a close scene at the end of the season première, the tiếp theo episode, it showed Elena hiển thị concern for Damon, and at the end of the episode, we got that scene with the face touching, that caused most of us to go ape, including ourself. This is just thêm proof that Andie's story and place in Damon's life, although not as easy to spot as Rose's, has also improved DE's story.
I understand why everyone was freaking out, and some still are. I was very angry at first, fuming, but when I began to think, I realised that this new 'love interest' is just most likely going to be a sex buddy for Damon, that will most likely improve Damon and Elena's story all together. We've been patient so far, and remember, good things come to those who wait.
And most importantly, this 'spoiler' might not even be true.
