There have been several speculations that Elena Gilbert will still return on "The Vampire Diaries," but actress Nina Dobrev has reportedly turned down offers of her possible return on the series recently. Is this because of Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed?
A recent report on Celeb Dirty Laundry said "The Vampire Diaries" home network The CW offered Nina Dobrev her possible return on the series, but the actress refused, over growing issues with Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed.
"'The Vampire Diaries' producers knew that it would only be a matter of time before Nina Dobrev realized that the grass wasn't greener on the other side - which is why they left Elena Gilbert's exit rather open-ended," the report mentioned. "The CW reportedly offered Nina her job back on 'The Vampire Diaries,' but Dobrev refused their offer."
Previous reports had Ian Somerhalder assuring fans that Elena Gilbert will be back on "The Vampire Diaries" after actress Nina Dobrev left the show last season.
"She's not dead," Ian Somerhalder said in the report. "In 70 years or however long Bonnie lives, Elena will resurface at some point, although we'll be very old when that happens."
But according to recent reports, her return might not be possible.
Celeb Dirty Laundry further noted that "The Vampire Diaries" star is now up for roles on hit TV shows "True Detective" and "Empire."
"Sources close to the actress's camp are reporting that Nina has finally accepted the fact that no one is going to hand her an Oscar-worthy role - and she has decided to accept defeat and return to the small screen," the report said.
She has reportedly been planned to audition for "True Detective" on HBO and she is rumored to be in talks to join Fox's "Empire."
"The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev reportedly is still in conflict with Ian Somerhalder's wife Nikki Reed, notably because of the actor's "closeness" to his former girl.
The International Business Times reported that Ian Somerhalder has unfollowed "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev on Twitter and reported Nikki Reed's insecurity over the actor's closeness with Nina Dobrev, worrying that he might be cheating on her.
