While there have been rumours that Nina Dobrev will be returning for season 8 of The Vampire Diaries for awhile now, according to latest buzz she could be coming back as an entire new character Sybil. Fans speculate that this could be the case as the role of Sybil who has been added for the new season, it hasn't been given to any actor as yet. It has also been argued that while executive producer Julie Plec previously said that Dobrev's Elena will most likely be seen only in the final, he never said that Dobrev cannot be part of the show in a different way. In the past, the actress has given life to two characters at the same time, namely, Elena and Katherine. "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 will premiere on The CW on Oct. 21.
