"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will definitely see the return of Nina Dobrev, notwithstanding disapproval from Ian Somerhalder of a reunion by Elena Gilbert with Damon Salvatore. After rocky weeks where Nina Dobrev had been an uncertain participant in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 finale update came from "TVD" executive producer Julie Plec.

"The Vampire Diaries" EP told Entertainment Tonight that Nina Dobrev wants to return for "TVD" Season 8 finale. This decision by Nina Dobrev seems unaffected by sentiments from Ian Somerhalder.

  Parent Herald cites that as far as Ian Somerhalder is concerned, "The Vampire Diaries" star does not want Nina Dobrev to reunite Elena Gilbert with Damon Salvatore. The reason is far from any controversy enveloping Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Nikki Reed.

In fact, the reason for his veto on a Nina Dobrev reprising Elena Gilbert is simple: Ian Somerhalder does not believe that Damon Salvatore deserves to be so lucky. Neither should Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) get Elena Gilbert either, according to Ian Somerhalder.

Ian Somerhalder is justified on this perspective over a Nina Dobrev return and a happy ending for either Stefan or Damon Salvatore. "The Vampire Diaries" series has had a long history of ups and downs for Elena Gilbert.

Most of the misery Nina Dobrev saw Elena Gilbert suffer during "The Vampire Diaries" run had been caused by Damon Salvatore or his brother Stefan. Ian Somerhalder pointed out that essentially the safest place for Elena Gilbert is far away from Stefan and Damon Salvatore.

Especially that Ian Somerhalder is playing evil Damon Salvatore again, "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 finale can't be a happy place for Nina Dobrev to take Elena Gilbert. Will Elena Gilbert awake only to die again for Damon Salvatore or will "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8?

At the moment, Elena Gilbert still has a chance to stay away from Damon Salvatore as Nina Dobrev still has scheduling issues before she can be certain to re-team up with Ian Somerhalder. Still, Julie Plec expressed confidence that the highly-publicized Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder reunion will happen in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 finale.
