Fans of Nina Dobrev are eagerly waiting for the actress to return in the upcoming Season 8 of "The Vampire Diaries." They are also hoping to see her with ex-flame Ian Somerhalder aka Damon and looks like their wishes will be fulfilled as there are strong chances of Damon sharing screen space with Katherine.

Bulgarian actress, Dobrev, is not returning as Elena in the eighth season of "The Vampire Diaries." Rather, she will be coming back as Katherine, reports Movie News Guide. According to the site, she will have some special moments with Ian (Damon) in the final episode. She might also be present in the first episode but it is not confirmed.

Well, the news is definitely music to the ears of Delena fans, but there is one catch. The 27-year-old actress is not coming back as Elena but as Katherine Pierce, report claims. Widespread speculations are favoring this theory as well and it is also being considered credible.

This is because fans think that the cry Damon heard for help in the previous season came from Katherine. Therefore, she is likely to get back as Katherine. What is more, she might also be the villain in the next season as her voice led the vampires to the dangerous vault where they got possessed by the monster.

It is being said that the enemy could use Katherine's body to punish Damon and Enzo, which is also a sad indication in some way for Delena aficionados. Why? Well, it means that the famous couple would be having tussles as the torture game would see them facing off and thus, one might have to wait longer to watch the tender moments.

Those who are wondering about the opposition Ian Somerhalder was facing from his wife Nikki Reed with regard to Dobrev's return need not worry, as the couple has reportedly sorted out their issues and Reed does not have any problem with Dobrev's comeback any longer.

Still, it looks like fans will not complain because they will be seeing the lovely couple together after a gap of two years.
