'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8 Air Date, Spoilers, News & Update: Bonnie Doesn't Have To Die For Elena's Return? Damon Has To Pass Away?

More than three months before "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 premieres, the show is now making noise for the exit of Ian Somerhalder and other stars. Not only that, the return of Nina Dobrev is now the talk of the town as how her character, Elena Gilbert, will be awakened from her induced sleep.

There are fan-made theories emerging and suggesting how will Elena be back on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

It has been said that the death of Bonnie (Kat Graham) will make Elena awake and reborn on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

According to International Business Times, via Ecumenical News, Bonnie has to sacrifice herself so Elena could return on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Earlier this year, Kat Graham already revealed her plan to leave "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, but the show's enthusiasts believe that Bonnie doesn't have to die to resurrect Elena.

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 writers, on the other hand, are thinking of a twist to keep Bonnie and Elena alive in the coming chapter. To recall, Elena will remain in a deep sleep until Bonnie is living.

Meanwhile, Game N Guide previously reported that with the imminent return of Elena, Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) is about to say goodbye on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Now, fans are wondering how they will see Damon take his final bow on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Another assumption suggested that Damon, too, has to pass away to make way for Elena's return on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

However, fans are quite saddened that their favorite couple, Elena and Damon, won't end up together on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

Still, "The Vampire Diaries" aficionados think that Elena and Damon are the perfect pair and deserve to have a sweet ending.

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will be back on Oct. 21 on The CW.
