Hit TV Show "The Vampire Diaries" eight season was rumored to be the season where Nina Dobrev returns as Elena Gilbert. After leaving the show as a series regular in 2015, fans have been waiting for Dobrev's return. This rumor has been circling the vine for months while awaiting actual confirmation from the star herself, or the producers of the show.

However, earlier this week, news broke that the actress, Dobrev, has confirmed to join another TV series - not The Vampire Diaries. Even though the CW network have already confirmed that they are talking to Dobrev about a possible return, nothing has been finalized as of late.

Meanwhile, after gaining the upper hand in their fight to save Damon and Enzo, Stefan and Alaric team up and uncover the origins of the mysterious force they're up against. Finally, Matt returns to the fray after his past and present collide in an unexpected way."
