Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are expected to reunite for the series finale, "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. However, a report from Celeb Dirty Laundry claims that Dobrev is refusing to return to The CW series despite her promise to series creator Julie Plec.

While this may be a disappointing news to fans and viewers, especially those who have been waiting for a "Delena" return, the publication notes on the possible casting of a star. According to the publication, Kristen Stewart, who played Bella in "Twilight," may star in a guest role in the series finale.

This may help fill the void for Dobrev's absence from "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. However, many fans believe that Dobrev should still make good of her promise to Plec since she rose to fame because of her role in the series.

Dobrev's refusal to return to "TVD" Season 8 is believed to have a connection with Ian Somerhalder. Many fans noticed Somerhalder's ill comments when Plec mentioned of returning characters to the show.

It is believed that Dobrev and Somerhalder were in bad terms following the breakup. Dobrev's return also led to rumors that Somerhalder and Reed were divorcing; however, the couple seemed unaffected, as reported by Just Jared.

According to the outlet, Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed were recently spotted on a casual date in NYC. There appears to be no problems for the couple nor do they seem to be headed for a divorce over Nina Dobrev.
