"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 spoilers reveal that the highly anticipated reunion between Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev may not happen. Many fans believe that Dobrev's character, Elena, will be the one to save Damon after going on a killing spree in the Season 7 finale.

However, it turns out Damon will no longer need Elena to be saved from the mysterious creature in the vault in "TVD" Season 8. Casting news from TVLine reveals that Michael Trevino will reprise his role in The CW series as Tyler Lockwood.

The publication notes that there is a possibility that Tyler will be the one to save Damon in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. This eliminates one possible option for Elena to return to Mystic Falls.

TVGuide notes that many fans are looking forward to the darker version of Damon in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. As seen in the season 7 finale of the show, Damon and Enzo were on a killing spree after being lured into the vault.

While Elena may no longer be the one to save Damon from complete destruction in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, several fans are hoping to see Dobrev's other character, Katherine in it. Others, however, believe that Dobrev will only return to the show in the season finale.
