Nina Dobrev may return to "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. It is speculated that she might play the evil force, Katherine, who will torment Damon. The talk about Dobrev's return is causing mayhem in the married life of Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the upcoming season of "The Vampire Diaries" will have Damon serving the evil. This evil force has the ability to command vampires and Season 8 will disclose his/her identity. The previous season had Damon being led into a vault by a voice that belongs to Dobrev. This fueled the speculations that it will be Dobrev who will return to the series in her evil avatar, Katherine.
As for Dobrev, she is not keen to return to the series as she is not interested in a reunion with her ex-Somerhalder; more so as now his marriage is in some sort of trouble. However, executive producer Julie Plec is eager to get her back to the series. But, Dobrev has not made any announcement, confirming her return and with her Hollywood career going good, if she does not return, it will not affect her career much.
In other news, it is being said that Somerhalder's marriage is on the rocks and he might be dumping his wife, Nikki Reed. He wants a divorce as Reed is too much insecure and also demands that he quit "The Vampire Diaries," iTech Post reported. But leaving the show will not be a good move considering his career.
As far as the fans are concerned, it does not matter whether Dobrev plays an evil character or a good character. They just want to see Dobrev and Somerhalder together on-screen on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.
