Nina Dobrev's return to "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 has been the one marred by speculations. While fans were clamoring for her return and Damon and Elena to reunite, this might not happen. In fact, rumor has it that her return is causing a lot of problem between Nikki Reed and Ian Sommerhalder. If the recent updates are any indication, Dobrev may not romance Sommerhalder at all. Rumors suggest that Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore has once before sizzled the screen with their romance so a Paul Wesley-Nina Dobrev reunion may not exactly be off the charts.

Reports also noted that Season 8 may not be about Elena and Damon at all. In fact, fans are now more excited to see Dobrev reunite with Wesley, bringing an interesting twist to the story.

If the fans remember Season 7 clearly, then if Wesley and Dobrev pair up happens, it will pit the actress between Caroline Forbes (Candice King) and Stefan Salvatore, who finally united in the show's previous season. However, to make the pair between Elena and Stefan possible, the show will lead Caroline to break up with with Stefan.

Since Elena will now, most likely, romance Stefan Salvatore, it does breathe easy on the warring couple, Sommerhalder and Reed, who have been on the verge of divorce due to the actress' return. However, will Elena's sidelining Damon in the show's Season 8 sit well with the actor?
