"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 star Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) is excited despite resurrected Nina Dobrev and Nikki Reed controversy brought on by "TVD" S8 finale plans. "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is the end of the road for Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore and Nina Dobrev as the soon-to-be-revived Elena Gilbert.
Although Nina Dobrev left "The Vampire Diaries" after Season 6, revelations by "TVD" executive producer Julie Plec on Elena Gilbert developments at S7 finale created an uproar. Nina Dobrev volunteering to record fresh audio as Elena Gilbert for "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7 finale revived clamor for a reunion with Damon Salvatore.

Unfortunately, the news by Julie Plec on Nina Dobrev in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 also revived buzz that Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are having marriage issues. Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev paired up in, and outside of, "The Vampire Diaries" long before Nikki Reed.

After "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7 finale, Ian Somerhalder fans thought despite his marriage to Nikki Reed, his team up with Nina Dobrev as Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert would still get screen time. As Parent Herald cites, "TVD" fans became hopeful that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder would be able to extend their reunion as Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore even after "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.
While Nina Dobrev and Julie Plec discussed if indeed Elena Gilbert is returning in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, thereafter followed plenteous buzz that Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are headed for splitsville. However, E! News reports that despite Nina Dobrev and Nikki Reed controversies, Ian Somerhalder is actually excited.
In particular, Ian Somerhalder is excited to say goodbye to "The Vampire Diaries" series. This is because with "The Vampire Diaries" wrapped up Ian Somerhalder will finally be able to concentrate on having babies with Nikki Reed.
Altogether a happy plan from Ian Somerhalder with no hint of issues with Nikki Reed over Nina Dobrev and "The Vampire Diaries" finale. The CW will air "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 premiere on Oct. 21, which should take Ian Somerhalder a day closer to those babies with Nikki Reed and a day away from his Nina Dobrev history.
