There was a reference, albeit a brief one, to Stefanie during Season 1, Episode 10, titled "There's A World Where Your Dreams Came True." Originally, it was believed that we wouldn't actually get to see Stefanie since she's supposed to exist in a completely different timeline, but the mention of her has fans thinking that might not be true anymore.

It would make sense to add her to the cast since Damon is also thought to be alive and thriving in the Legacies universe. It only makes sense that Stefanie would also be added to the timeline if Damon exists here.

Ian Somerhalder, though, is not set to make an appearance in the show currently. So if you get Stefanie, expect it to be sans Damon. Ian has been busy working on a series of his own, called V Wars, which is currently in post-production.

In an interview with TV Line, Ian was asked about Stefanie, to which he replied: "Oh, yeah, isn’t that my daughter?” He gave no indication as to whether he knew about the potential addition of Stefanie's character, but that doesn't mean we're not still holding out.
