'Vampire Diaries' Showrunner Teases Possibility Of Nina Dobrev's Return

Nina Dobrev might have left “The Vampire Diaries” at the end of Season 6, but there’s still hope she’ll return for the show’s final season.

Showrunner Julie Plec and the cast of the CW show sat down for an interview with TVLine at San Diego Comic-Con, where they hinted at Dobrev’s possible comeback.

When asked about the likelihood of seeing Dobrev’s character Elena back on screen, Plec responded, “Not to put too much pressure on anything Nina Dobrev, but a promise was made. An emotional promise that I’d like to see come to life.”

“You heard it here,” she continued, “there’s been friendship promises made, and now we’ll see if we can deliver on them.”

“I think that’s about 18.75 percent,” cast member Ian Somerhalder (Damon) quipped, before Zach Roerig (Matt) added, “At the end of the day, we’d love to have her back. This show wouldn’t be what it is without her.”

We couldn’t agree more.
