Last night's episode of The CW's hit show "Vampire Diaries" left fans shocked.

To find out spoilers for next week from the show's executive producer read on. Be warned, this article contains major spoilers from last night's episode.

On episode 15 of "Vampire Diaries" audiences saw Katherine pass away. Executive producer Caroline Dries spoke to TV Guide about what this means for the show moving forward.

"It's unlike anything we've seen before. We've seen characters appear to Bonnie, the anchor, and go through Bonnie and that's their initiation into the other side. When Katherine died, that didn't happen and [instead] she's ripped out of Bonnie's arms and sucked into wherever by some dark void. We don't say anything religious like Heaven or Hell, but that's the implication - she's going to a dark world," Dries said.

The executive producer went on to say that most likely Katherine will not be coming back to the show and rising from the dead.

"I don't think we'll explore it so much as in the future, we'll use something similar happening like that on the other side where it becomes a bit of disarray over there and people get sucked into oblivion," Dries told TV Guide.

The executive producer went on to explain what the writers were intending with Katherine's death.

"What we wanted when we were writing the Katherine story line this season was to really deliver on her as a character. This show is known for bringing people back to the dead, so death didn't ever feel final; they could hop over from the other side if we feel desperate. So we wanted to say, 'No, she's gone,'" Dries explained.
