Kristen Stewart replacing Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is causing chaos among the fans. Some love it, others are horrified.
As we know, Nina Dobrev left the series after season 6, but her character Elena Gilbert was not killed. She was only put into coma, after she was spell-bound, and will be regain her consciousness when Bonnie Bennett dies. Now, rumors had it that when Elena wakes up in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, she will be in the person of Kristen Stewart.
Julie Plec, creator of the series, said that Nina Dobrev is still interested to return in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 as Elena Gilbert. So what is keeping her from coming back? Is it because show runners are also talking to Kristen Stewart, and the "Twilight" star has not yet confirmed her answer?
There has also been news that Ian Somerhalder does not want to work with Nina Dobrev after the couple broke up. Being one of the lead roles, can Somerhalder influence the show runners who to cast as Elena Gilbert in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8? Would he prefer Kristen Stewart instead of his ex-girlfriend?
To make things more complicated, rumors had it that Nina Dobrev would have wanted the role of Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan in "Twilight." And now the character of Elena Gilbert is allegedly being decided as to who will portray it in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.
Other news also said that Kristen Stewart might appear as Bella Swan in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. But fans are thinking that show runners are just using Stewart's name to promote the show as she is popular in this genre. Meanwhile, fans of Nina Dobrev are still hoping she would reprise her role as Elena Gilbert.
