Fans are highly anticipating the return of Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) in The Vampire Diaries Season 8 to reunite with lover Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) ever since the former confirmed her return to the series.

Unfortunately, as per the report of Parent Herald, the much-awaited Delena reunion is not likely to happen. The media outlet provided that one reason for this is Somerhalder's wife, Nikki Reed. She reportedly forbids her husband from shooting any romantic scenes with Dobrev or else, their marriage will be heading into divorce.

Instead of Dobrev's character then reuniting with Somerhalder's, Elena would reconnect with her first love Stefan Salvatore played by actor/director Paul Wesley. With this, the media outlet further suggested that The Vampire Diaries Season 8 will end with Stelena since there will be no Delena romance anymore.

Fans are left wondering what would happen to Damon who was possessed by some evil in the finale of The Vampire Diaries Season 7.

Ecumenical News reported that the dangerous killing spree that Damon started in the previous season is expected to be continued in The Vampire Diaries Season 8. The media outlet noted that even though Stefan would try to save his older brother Damon, brotherly love would not suffice to break the curse that the latter is in.

The same report further speculated that Elena may be the only way to get Damon out his madness, thus, rekindling their romance.

The Vampire Diaries Season 8 will premiere on Friday, October 21 at 8 on The CW. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
