Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev reunion is one of the most highly anticipated scenes in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. The CW previously announced that the upcoming season of the show will be its last after so many rumors that the series was ending due to a drop in ratings.

While series creator Julie Plec previously confirmed that she and Dobrev made a promise for the actress to return in "TVD" Season 8, a report from Celeb Dirty Laundry suggests that she may move to the show's spinoff series. According to the publication, there have been reports that Dobrev may return as Katherine instead of Elena in the series finale.

This may pave the way for her character's appearance in "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff, "The Originals." The publication notes that Katherine and Klaus have some shared history and getting Dobrev on board will help explore their storylines further.

Meanwhile, Hollywood Life notes that a recent update on Dobrev's page on IMDB seemingly suggests that the actress will not be in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 until its season finale. This means that Dobrev may possibly return to the show, but she will only appear in the final episode, which will mark the end of the series.

Many fans believe that Dobrev will only appear in "TVD" Season 8 finale because she is currently busy with her other projects. The 27-year-old actress recently filmed "xXx: Return of Xander Cage" and starred in other movies as well after leaving The CW drama.
