"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will not see the return of Nina Dobrev as the actress already confirmed that she is not returning for the final season. However, Ian Somerhalder reportedly begged her to rejoin the show in order to revive his career.
Controversies filled the return of Dobrev in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 as reports emerged that Somerhalder initially refused to work with the actress. Somerhalder who plays the Damon Salvatore purportedly prefers that the show would see a brotherly ending and let Elena, Dobrev's character, go on her own without any memories of the Salvatore brothers, TV Guide reported.
However, Somerhalder seemed to have changed his mind as recent reports claimed that the actor is now willing to reunite with Dobrev in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 for his career. Rumor has it that Somerhalder no longer cares about divorce reports and is ready to dump his wife Nikki Reed just to gain his fame and popularity back.
Previously, sources claimed that Dobrev's return in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 was threatened by Reed who is rumored to be insecure with the actress. Reed is reportedly insecure with her husband and does not want to see her husband do romantic scenes with Dobrev. Somerhalder seemed to support his wife's wishes as reports emerged that the couple sabotaged Dobrev's return in the show, TV Line reported.
Additionally, Julie Plec announced that they were working on having Dobrev back for the show's final season during the Comic Con to which Somerhalder showed disapproval. The actor reportedly said, "I thought we had a conversation about that, apparently not." This showed how the actor is disinterested in working with Dobrev again in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.
"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is slated to premiere on Oct. 21. Now that Somerhalder is purportedly bugging Plec to have Dobrev back in the series, it still remains to be seen whether Elena will be making a comeback in the upcoming final season of "The Vampire Diaries."
