 Dearest TVD family, It feels like it was just yesterday that I was saying goodbye. And yet two years have passed and here we are again. This is my true final goodbye, as today I shot my last scene of the Vampire Diaries forever. Coming back for the series finale has been a whirlwind of emotion, nostalgia, love, tears of joy and bittersweet endings. It feels like the beautiful closure we all needed, myself included, and I couldn't have been happier to come home to be with my TVD set family and friends. I feel the fans family will also be happy with the show's conclusion when they tune in to watch the last episode air in a few short weeks. From the bottom of my heart, I send you my biggest thanks for the countless years of implicit dedication, passion, support, and undying love from all the fans that have stuck with us on this truly amazing and beautiful journey. As this last chapter ends, we welcome and look forward to going on to the next adventure and hope that you continue to follow us as our new journeys begin. I grew up on this show and am eternally grateful for all the opportunities it has given me, and so thankful for each and every person who worked on The Vampire Diaries over the last 8 years. We are all pieces of a big puzzle and without every truly amazing cast and crew member, this magical puzzle would not be complete. Thank you for all your hard work, friendship and love. You have touched my heart in ways you will never know. Sending looch smooches, Love, Katherine, Amara, Tatia, and of course, Elena Gilbert. #TVDforever #FangsForTheMemories ❤ Ps.

Meanwhile, ever since Dobrev's character went into a slumber, fans have been waiting to see her character, Elena Gilbert, reunite with Damon Salvatore, played by her real-life ex-boyfriend, Ian Somerhalder.

However, their reunion may not happen that easily, and the reason is not in "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 script. Rumor has it that Dobrev's return has made Somerhalder's wife, Nikki Reed, upset over their possible reunion on the show. She even reportedly instructed her husband to keep a distance from his past lover.

According to speculations, Reed is insecure because she thinks her husband has residual feelings for his ex-girlfriend, since the two dates for a period of three years before breaking up. After his split with the actress, Somerhalder started seeing Reed, who he eventually espoused in 2015.

Reed's relationship has been on the rocks with husband Somerhalder who is rumored to be dating Dobrev secretly, despite his wife's pregnancy. However, the rumors are reportedly untrue as the couple was spotted together at the Los Angeles airport, Daily Mail reported.

The feud notwithstanding, the fans are eager to see the much awaited Delena reunion in "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 finale.
