‘The Vampire Diaries’ Season 8 Air Date, Spoilers, News & Update: Nikki Reed Disapproves Elena-Damon Reunion Next Season?

"The Vampire Diaries" season 8 will premiere this month and everyone is excited for the final season of the long running series. Will there be a Stefan-Elena-Damon reunion?

The expectations of fans for "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 are high since there will be no more season 9. Many are hoping for Nina Dobrev to finally return in the series since she was part of the original cast members. Showrunner Julie Plec has earlier revealed that she made a promise to make the actress appear in the final season. However, the cast and crew have not yet made any official statement confirming her big comeback.

Familiar faces are expected to be seen again in "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 as it will be a time of reunion. The showrunner has already mentioned that they will bring back as many characters as possible even through flashbacks. This means that Nina Dobrev might only appear next season in the form of flashbacks through Damon's memory.

Though it is still uncertain, many fans are positive that the creators of "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 will listen to their cry. The ratings of the series will surely rise if Nina Dobrev returns since the majority wants her back. Damon is back to his old evil ways and Elena is the only one who can tame her. He has been cursed by The Evil and in need of redemption.

Meanwhile, recent reports reveal that Ian Somherhalder's wife Nikki Reed is against the idea of pairing Nina Dobrev with her husband again because an Elena and Damon reunion would mean many romantic scenes between the two in "The Vampire Diaries" season 8. They are reportedly having marriage issues because of the actress as she is an ex-girlfriend of the actor, as per Parent Herald. "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 will premiere on Oct. 21 on The CW.
