Blood sharing is a deeply personal act for vampires on the TV show The Vampire Diaries. The show, based on L.J. Smith's books and created by Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, aired for eight seasons from 2009 on The CW. Set in Mystic Falls, Virginia, the series follows the lives of supernatural and human inhabitants, with a central love triangle between Elena Gilbert, Stefan Salvatore, and Damon Salvatore.

In season 4, Elena becomes a vampire and struggles to control her thirst for human blood. Damon suggests blood sharing as a solution, which deepens the bond between him and Elena but causes tension with Stefan. The show's portrayal of blood sharing differs from the books, where it is more prevalent and represents a substitute for sex.
