‘The Vampire Diaries’ Season 8 Finale Spoilers, News & Update: Damon & Stefan Confirmed Dying; Elena Delivers Death Blow To Salvatore Brothers?

It's been a turbulent couple of seasons for vampire drama series "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. The show has seen to many deaths and exits, and the biggest blow had been Elena's (Nina Dobrev) "sleep," when the actress decided to exit the show. But it looks like there may be a major death in store yet, as Ian Somerhalder hints that Damon and Stefan Salvatore may not survive the show's last season.

Damon and Stefan versus the common good

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is on its final home stretch, and several fans are expecting one last major death to cap off the show. And it seems that Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev's ex-boyfriend and Nikki Reed's current husband, is on the same page as well.

In an interview with Variety, "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 star discussed what he wanted to see in the show's finale. He said that while he wanted Delena fans to be happy--by reuniting Damon and Elena together in the finale--he was, ultimately, on the side of the humans. He lamented that Damon and his brother Stefan (Paul Wesley) has caused so much havoc and chaos at the expense of the human race. As such, he said they would be better off if the sibling vampires just went away for good.

Elena to deliver the death blow

Given this, several reports are speculating that Nina Dobrev, who's expected to do a cameo in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 finale, will be the one to deliver the death blow to the Salvatore brothers. That would certainly be a huge twist. She had previously dated and fell in love with both vampires even though she chose Damon in the end, and Stefan ended with Caroline (Candice King).
