"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 packed heat from the Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder reunion angle. While the final season of "The Vampire Diaries" seemed optimistic for Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore, the rift between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder may be deeper than anticipated.
Nina Dobrev left after "The Vampire Diaries" Season 6 finale with Elena Gilbert suspiciously sent under a coma rather than killed off. The exit by Nina Dobrev from "The Vampire Diaries" after Season 6 interestingly followed her breakup with Ian Somerhalder.
Nina Dobrev highlighted, as The Huffington Post reports, that her exit as Elena Gilbert from "The Vampire Diaries" has nothing to do with Ian Somerhalder. According to Nina Dobrev, she and Ian Somerhalder are professionals and so were able to work well together in "The Vampire Diaries" after breaking up.
When Ian Somerhalder eventually got married to Nikki Reed, Nina Dobrev expressed her happiness for the couple. Until the finale of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7, "TVD" seemed done with any other collaboration between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder as Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore.
When Nina Dobrev volunteered to do a fresh audio clip for the moment in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7 finale where Ian Somerhalder was to transition Damon Salvatore back to evil, "TVD" fans were shocked. Thereafter came revelation by "The Vampire Diaries" executive producer about her planned reunion between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder when "TVD" runs its very final episode.
"The Vampire Diaries" may now wrap up without Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder allowing Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore to be together again. In the middle of "The Vampire Diaries" controversy between her and Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev posted a controversial message on Twitter.
In the message Nina Dobrev commented on an allusion to a happy ending born out of a lack of involvement or care. If this is about her return in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 finale, the rift between Nina Dobrev and Iam Somerhalder may be running a much deeper course.
Still Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder may surprise fans in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, which airs on The CW on Oct 21. Have you had the chance imagine the end of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 without ever seeing Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder together again?
