'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8: Nina Dobrev's Character Elena To Appear In The First Episode?

Fans of "The Vampire Diaries" series have been looking forward to seeing Nina Dobrev again in the series especially that the series is heading to its end for good. Unfortunately, reports have it that Dobrev will return as Katherine in "The Vampire Diaries" season 8. Does this mean that we are not seeing Elena for good?

Reports are rife that Nina Dobrev's return in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is plagued with controversies. Some sources claim that Ian Somerhalder is no longer interested in working with his ex-flame and wanted to end "TVD" with a brotherly ending. He wants Dobrev's character to go on living without any memories of Damon and Stefan.

Meanwhile, Nina Dobrev's comeback to the series that catapulted her and Ian Somerhalder to fame is linked to Somerhalder and Nikki Reed's divorce. Reed allegedly hates the thought of seeing her husband on the small screen with Nina Dobrev. For this reason, "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 might not cover the Delena romance anymore and just settled with Dobrev returning as Katherine.

However, for those who wish to see Damon and Elena in "The Vampire Diaries" season 8, you might see the pair in a short while. But chances are the plot will not revolve around the anticipated Delena romance.

According to International Business Times, the titles of the first three episodes of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 have leaked. The first episode is titled, "Hello Brother," which will feature the reunion of the Salvatore brothers.

There are rumors that on the said episode, Nina Dobrev might appear as Elena. The report stressed that there is a blind item suggesting that a big network is prepping for a casting stunt surprise of the year. Many believe that this is referring to the CW and its plans in bringing Dobrev's Elena in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Are you hopeful to seeing Elena in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8? If Nina Dobrev's Elena return but it won't close the Delena romance, will it still satisfy you? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will premiere on Oct. 21 on the CW. Stay tuned for more "TVD" Season 8 updates.
