There's a big, big death coming to The Vampire Diaries during the midseason finale and it will apparently shock fans.

 Paul Wesley To Star In Convergence As A Flawed Character

"Dude, there's always deaths, there is a big one coming up, I will say that, there is a big one that's really going to break the people's hearts," Paul Wesley, who plays Stefan, told E! Online.

When asked about the deal with Stefan and Caroline (Candice Accola), Wesley also hinted some other exciting news.

"There's some beautiful moments and I do think ultimately that something will happen. It's just a slow burn," he said.

The two characters were intended to be a major focus of season six.

"She's going to realize it's a little more one-sided than she was hoping, and there's going to be some fallout from that," executive producer Caroline Dries told TVLine.com in a September interview. "But just because one character doesn't like another character, that doesn't mean it's not a fascinating love story."

Dries previously divulged some more information about their relationship to Alloy Entertainment, saying that the situation isn't simple because of Elena and Stefan's past. It's made Caroline a little unsure of her own feelings.

"Her feelings for Stefan are (at the conscious level right now) friend feelings. I personally feel like she's not quite sure what she's feeling. It's all types of confusing," Dries said. "The feelings behind the feelings are something we get to explore in season 6 as we watch how her relationship with Stefan plays out in the wake of the finale."

The Vampire Diaries airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
