Fans will be disappointed to know about the failed relationship of Elena and Damon. With the comeback of Nina in the series, speculations are showing that the "Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will increase in its TV rating.

According to Deadline, the absence of Nina Dobrev in the series had resulted in the decline of its TV rating, with a 0.6 in 18-49, 33 percent down. For this season, Vampire Diaries might raise the bar since fans have been used to seeing Elena Gilbert with the rest of the gang.

For the fans and followers, the air date for the "Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will be on October 21, 2016.
