'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8 Release Date, News & Update: Bonnie To Sacrifice Self? Nina Dobrev To Save Ian Somerhalder From Nameless Evil?

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 may see Bonnie Bennet (Kat Graham) performing the ultimate self-sacrifice. This comes with the suppositions that Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) may hold the only hope of salvation for Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) from the Nameless Evil of the vault "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore and Michael Malarkey as Enzo St John will continue their bloody marauding in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 under the influence of the Nameless Evil. As it stands, Bonnie Bennett is powerless and the only other source of hope for Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John to survive "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 are Caroline Forbes (Candice King), Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) and Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis).

While prospects loom bleak for the gang in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, one ray of hope remains in the form of Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert. The enslavement of Damon Salvatore by the Nameless Evil may be broken if Elena Gilbert wakes up in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Movie Pilot posits a few possible scenarios by which to pull Nina Dobrev back into the events of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. One of these points to Nina Dobrev seeing Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore being reunited by Bonnie Bennett sacrificing her life in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

According to the media outlet, Bonnie Bennett has a penchant for self-sacrifice, which may come in handy given the darkness that envelops her best friend Damon Salvatore and her true love Enzo St John in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. Because Bonnie Bennet has become helpless without her powers and may feel responsible for the plight of her loved ones, Movie Pilot proposes that Kat Graham's character may turn herself into a vampire.

As Bonnie Bennett brings death upon herself in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, Elena Gilbert will be woken up. Thereupon Elena Gilbert will fight the Nameless Evil and win Damon Salvatore back from its darkness.

This, of course, has to work around the original deal between producer Julie Plec and Nina Dobrev on her return for the finale of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 as outlined on TVLine. Nonetheless all hopes are up on reunion between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder as fans await new The CW premiere and viewing schedules for "The Vampire Diaries" season 8.
