"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is plagued with several controversies concerning Nina Dobrev's return. However, aside from Dobrev, reports have it that Paul Wesley have issues too and might skip the first episode of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

According to the Gamers Drop, Paul Wesley is skipping an episode of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 due to heartbreak. Wesley allegedly broke up with his "The Originals" star girlfriend, Phoebe Tonkin.

Per Celeb Dirty Laundry, Paul Wesley and Phoebe Tonkin's relationship are already on the verge of breaking up. The "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 cast is pressured to giving the best season finale in the most popular series since Nina Dobrev has not confirmed her return yet.

Reports have it that Paul Wesley and Phoebe Tonkin are not seen in public for a couple of months already. The lovers are compared to the popular "The Vampire Diaries" ex-couple Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, who did not sustain the pressure of working together and maintaining an intimate relationship at the same time.

Is the pressure of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 affecting Paul Wesley and Phoebe Tonkin's relationship? Will Nina Dobrev's return help everyone?

Julie Plec and CW president Mark Pedowitz have been negotiating with Nina Dobrev for her return but reports have it that her co-star Ian Somerhalder and his wife Nikki Reed is sabotaging her return. This breaks the hearts of "The Vampire Diaries" fans who have been waiting for Damon and Elena's reunion.

However, recent reports suggest that Ian Somerhalder has changed his mind and is now begging Nina Dobrev to return in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 to revive his career. Reports have it that Dobrev has also changed her mind and is now more interested with Paul Wesley. Is this true?

Per Inquisitr, Nina Dobrev is interested in dating Paul Wesley. In an interview with Teen Vogue a few years back, Nina Dobrev admitted that it's not unusual for two persons who work together to end up dating. She stressed that at that time she's not dating Ian Somerhalder yet. However, if she's not dating Ian, she could be dating Paul.
