Nikki Reed 'Devastated' Over Ian Somerhalder's Reunion With Nina Dobrev On 'The Vampire Diaries' [Report]

Somerhalder and Reed have been married for a little over two years now.

Meanwhile, according to Hall of Fame Magazine, the president of The CW, Mark Pedowitz, is optimistic that Dobrev will be back in action for Season 8.

"There are discussions going on with Nina, we'd love to have her back," Pedowitz revealed.

Despite Pedowitz's optimism, he did admit that showrunner Julie Plec has a backup plan in case Dobrev turns down the offer to return to the hit series.

At the same time, Somerhalder's marriage with Reed has shown no outward signs of trouble. Instead, the couple appears to be happier than ever in their relationship and have continued to show their love for each other on social media.

When asked about the likelihood of Dobrev's return, Somerhalder recently shot down the comeback and refused to give a definitive answer, leading to speculation that his feud with Dobrev was very much alive.

That being said, Dobrev's character on the show plays an important part in the story, especially in regards to her relationship with Somerhalder's Damon Salvatore.

Indeed, a series finale without Dobrev making some kind of cameo would feel incomplete on many different levels.

For most fans, even a short cameo during the finale would go a long way toward providing closure to Elena's story.

With Dobrev being an integral part of the show, there is a strong possibility that Plec is willing to push past Somerhalder's feud to get Dobrev back next season.

Although Dobrev's future is still up in the air, fans can at least look forward to seeing more of Somerhalder and Paul Wesley in the near future. Both stars are expected to make an appearance in the new season of The Originals.

The details surrounding the cameos are still murky, although Somerhalder and Wesley are expected to reveal a little more about the main plot line of the series.

The eighth and final season of The Vampire Diaries is scheduled to return to The CW on Oct. 21.
