After 170 episodes having aired in the UK; the 171st and final-ever episode of The Vampire Diaries is set to air on ITV2 in the UK late on Tuesday night, May 9th 2017 at 11.55pm. The finale episode titled I Was Feeling Epic includes the much anticipated return of Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce.
Unfortunately, there is no confirmation from ITV2 regarding any airing of the hour long retrospective special titled Forever Yours which aired in America on The CW prior to the finale. However, I have reached out to ITV’s viewer services for comment; therefore I will certainly update everyone if I receive a response. Either way, I am sure the Forever Yours look-back will be featured in the Blu-Ray and DVD box set releases.
I want to thank the entire cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries for 171 episodes of one of the greatest sci-fi television series in modern times; consequently I wish the very best to everyone on their new ventures whether they be spin-offs from The Vampire Diaries or something completely different.
Unfortunately, Nina’s guest starring role as Katherine Pierce in Season 4: Episode 13 of The Originals has been removed from Nina’s IMDB profile. Upon first glance; this may mean it was just a wild rumour and will not be happening. However, on second glance we have technically all been here before regarding Nina’s appearance in The Vampire Diaries finale. If you recall, IMDB actually listed Nina’s appearance in the final-ever episode of The Vampire Diaries while almost everyone elsewhere was reporting that Nina would not be returning in addition to the fact that the listing specifically referred to Season 8: Episode 16 before it had even become public knowledge that the final season would be 16 episodes.
There are reports that Season 4 could be the final season of The Originals due to its reduced length from 22 episodes to only 13 episodes. If Season 4 is to be the final season, then it would make sense to have Katherine Pierce or another doppelganger feature in some way to show how the Petrova bloodline would continue to evolve or for Katherine to finally get her revenge on Klaus. The involvement of a Petrova doppelganger could perhaps even lead to an important element of a spin-off series containing characters from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.
If Nina is officially confirmed for a guest starring role as Katherine Pierce or even another doppelganger in The Originals: Season 4 – Episode 13, then we should expect to hear an official announcement within the next few weeks as The Originals: Season 4 began airing on The CW on March 17th 2017.
According to IMDB; Nina is rumoured to be guest starring in season 4: episode 13 of The Originals as one of Nina’s most likeable characters, Katherine Pierce, although IMDB is so confident it will happen that Nina’s appearance is not listed as a rumour. It is not confirmed if Nina will be recurring through multiple episodes of The Originals as Katherine Pierce, so it can only be assumed at this time that Katherine will play into the storyline in some capacity, although it would be nice to see Nina remaining in The Originals for a run of episodes.
Some may question the legitimacy of the source given that there is no clear indication of who informed IMDB of this being 100% confirmed. However, it is important to notice that IMDB listed Nina as specifically appearing in season 8 episode 16 of The Vampire Diaries before we received 100% confirmation from elsewhere of Nina’s appearance and the additional fact of season 8 only being a 16 episode season.
