"The Vampire Diaries exec Julie Plec has hinted at Damon&amp;#039;s fate. The brooding vampire - played by Ian Somerhalder - will revert to his &amp;quot;devil may care&amp;quot; persona in future episodes, Plec told TVLine.  &amp;quot;This year, Damon is the Damon of season one, minus the posturing and posing,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;He is who he is. He&amp;#039;s got attitude. He&amp;#039;s always right. He&amp;#039;s rarely wrong.&amp;quot; Plec promised a &amp;quot;great shift&amp;quot; for Damon, who lost Elena (Nina Dobrev) to brother Stefan (Paul Wesley) in the show&amp;#039;s third-season finale. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s still going to be the Damon we know and love - he&amp;#039;s still going to be kicking ass and taking names,&amp;quot; she promised. &amp;quot;But he just has this devil-may-care attitude about it.  &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s just not going to change for anybody anymore. He did that. That&amp;#039;s over. That&amp;#039;s so last year.&amp;quot; Plec previously claimed that Damon and Elena could still have a future, saying: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s certainly not the end of Delena, as anyone might be afraid. In fact, in a way, it&amp;#039;s the beginning of the beginning.&amp;quot; The fourth season of The Vampire Diaries debuts on The CW on October 11. In the UK, the series airs on ITV2. &amp;gt; Vampire Diaries adds Secret Circle star Phoebe Tonkin &amp;gt; Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley hints at Stefan, Elena future "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
