‘The Vampire Diaries’ Season 8 Latest News, Rumors & Air Date: Nina Dobrev’s Return Not Good For The Show? Ian Somerhalder’s Ex To Portray A New Character?

Thousand fans are now excited for the upcoming debut of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 especially with the return of Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) .

TheBitBag reported that the forthcoming return of Nina Dobrev in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 could be a very bad thing for the show. According to the entertainment news website, the comeback of Ian Somerhalder's ex-love could mark the end of the then popular series.

Kate Graham (Bonnie Bennett) had revealed that she would not be returning in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, which tipoffs the death of her character. What bothered fans the most is when Ian Somerhalder himself said that he will not be returning in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Faithful followers of the vampire-themed series then started wondering how the show could move forward without the two lead characters. However, Bonnie Bennett has to die so Elena Gilbert could wake up and get reunited with the other vampires in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Rumor has it that Julie Plec has decided to bring Nina Dobrev back in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 to save its plummeting ratings. It can be recalled that "The Vampire Diaries" show has suffered low ratings after Nina Dobrev said goodbye.
