According to recent reports, it has been pointed out that Ian Sommerhalder and Nina Dobrev will continue their romance in the season 8 of "The Vampire Diaries." The media publication also said that the love scenes between Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert/Katherine Pierce are absolutely necessary to keep the show afloat.

However, the fans are more interested to know if Nina Dobrev and Ian Sommerhalder will rekindle their on-screen romance in season 8 of "The Vampire Diaries," now that Elena Gilbert's return to the show has been confirmed. Sources claim that with Bonnie Bennett's death, Nina Dobrev's return to the show is imminent.

At the same time, there are also reports stating that Elena Gilbert will remain asleep in season 8 and that Nina Dobrev will portray the role of Katherine Pierce. The fans are hopeful that this will not prevent Nina Dobrev and Ian Sommerhalder to do more love scenes on the show.

Meanwhile, there are also reports that Nikki Reed is upset about Ian and Nina having more intimate scenes in "the Vampire Diaries" season 8. The reports also pointed out that Reed knows that she is just a rebound girlfriend after Nina Dobrev dumped Sommerhalder.

However, Nikki likes it or not, she can do nothing about the impending reunion of Ian and Nina in "The Vampire Diaries," season 8. Their union is important to prevent the show from being cancelled.

Season 8 will air in October 2017 on The CW.
