Fans of Elena and Damon wishing to see their beloved on-screen couple in the upcoming Season 8 of The Vampire Diaries are in for some bad news. Nina Dobrev might not return to reprise her famous role in The CW show and star opposite Ian Somerhalder.

The much-awaited reunion of Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder might not happen at all in 'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8 as the chances of the actress' comeback are very dim. Dobrev has not cleared the air on her return and now Somerhalder has said something that is certainly not a positive indication for the fans of Delena. In a recent interview with TV Line, he said that the Delena reunion should not happen.

Referring to Elena, Somerhalder said that this poor young girl from this tiny town has lost everyone she has ever loved. She burned her house down, she is now in a box and these guys have ruined her life. Yet everybody wants her to end up with one of them.

Sounds weird? It certainly does because he had said in past interviews that Delena should be the endgame for the series finale. However, it is unlikely that he has changed his mind. It is speculated that the unpleasant comments are not his thoughts and more of a reflection of his wife Nikki Reed's provocation. He made the comments to save his marriage and move ahead with his plans to have a baby.

Notably, earlier reports had also surfaced which said that the busy schedule of the actor was delaying his family plans. However, now things seem to have changed as the actor is keen to start a family. Still, it is not happening as wife Reed is not very interested in a baby and wants to focus on her acting career, reports Celeb Dirty Laundry.

This is causing a great deal of annoyance to the actor and has also put their marriage under strain. Some also say that they are still fighting over Dobrev's return in 'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8 and thus, it might not materialize.

'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8 returns to The CW on Oct 21.
