With The Vampire Diaries inching toward its series finale, the question on every fans’ mind is whether Nina Dobrev will return to The CW series for the swan song.
Dobrev’s Elena was placed in a sleeping beauty spell, which tied her life to Bonnie (Kat Graham), meaning as long as Bonnie is alive, Elena will be asleep. But given that the show centers on vampires, it would make sense for Elena to wake up to find most of her friends have not aged, making her appearance in the series finale practically a given. But will the actress actually appear?
“The best way I can answer that question is Julie [Plec], Kevin [Williamson], the studio and The CW promise a fantastic series finale,” CW President Mark Pedowitz said at the Television Critics Association’s press tour on Sunday, effectively sidestepping the question, though still leaving open the possibility.
While nothing is official, Plec has previously said that Dobrev has expressed interest in returning. “Nina has always said that if there’s something for her to do in the series finale that she will be there to do it,” Plec told EW. “When she left, she said, ‘I want to see this character to its end at the end of the show, so I can’t wait to come back and put her to bed again.’”

ET: Let’s get right to the big pink vampire in the room. How are things going with getting Nina Dobrev to reprise her role as Elena?
Julie Plec: I feel very good about it! She and I have spoken and I know that she 100 percent wants to be there and I, of course, 100 percent want her to be there, and so it just comes down to stupid things like scheduling. Honestly, let’s put it this way: I would be devastated if it weren’t to work out, so I have a feeling the cards will be in all our favor.
If Nina does come back, how excited are you to watch that vision you’ve had for her all along come to life in the series finale?
[Laughs] Oh, I am very excited. We get little hints and teases of her face all through the season. Damon’s memories of her play a big part of the season, and I was just looking at a scene yesterday and being able to see her face brought back so much emotion and nostalgia and sweetness. It’s lovely to have her in the narrative in the way that she is. Read More at Entertainment Tonight
Exactly one year after bidding The Vampire Diaries a fond farewell, Nina Dobrev returned for Friday’s hectic season finale — or, at least, her voice did.
Unlike the time we saw Elena earlier this season — when old footage was recycled for the scene in which Damon thought he burned her sleeping body — Dobrev recorded new material for this week’s episode, in which the mysterious villain of the vault enticed Damon with his girlfriend’s voice.
“In this particular case, she came in and did the ADR, [short for automated dialogue replacement],” executive producer Julie Plec tells TVLine. “I reached out and said, ‘We can either cobble it together from a bunch of episodes, or you can come in and see everybody and do ADR. She chose to do it in person, which was great, because it was a nice little personal Nina visit.”
As for when we might see Dobrev as Elena again, Plec says she’s sticking with her original plan of having her return for the series finale — whenever that may be.
“It’s what she and I kind of agreed on when she decided to move on, and it’s what I’ve got in my head,” Plec says. “Obviously things can change throughout time, if the show goes on longer than we expect it to, or if we all collectively decide it would be fun to bring her back earlier, and she wanted to. But in my opinion, she was very clear about what she wanted the next step in her life to be, and she’s doing a great job of achieving that. So I’m sticking with my side of the plan, which is to bring her back at the very end.”
The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Blu-Ray and DVD Release date is September 1st. Warner Brothers has released the Artwork and all the details for the DVD. I must say this is the best cover ever.
Mystic Falls bids farewell to one of TV’s hottest vampires when The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Sixth Season, is released on Blu-ray™ and DVD on September 1, 2015, from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Season Six is also available to purchase on Digital HD. Averaging nearly 2.7 million viewers weekly in its sixth season, The Vampire Diaries remains The CW’s #1 show with young female demos and will return for a seventh season on The CW this fall.

The Vampire Diaries continues its sixth season with more delicious drama to sink your teeth into. In season five, after a passionate summer with Damon, Elena headed to Whitmore College with Caroline, not knowing Bonnie sacrificed her life for Jeremy’s. Meanwhile, Stefan and Caroline’s friendship deepened as they stood up to the Travelers, a nomadic witch tribe driven to strip Mystic Falls of magic and cast out its supernatural residents. In the shocking season finale, Damon, fearing he would lose his loved ones on the crumbling Other Side, made a huge sacrifice to bring them all back — with catastrophic and heartbreaking results. Season six follows the characters’ journey back to each other as they explore the duality of good versus evil inside themselves. Matt Davis reprises his role as Alaric Saltzman, recently returned from The Other Side. Plus, the season will make you misty-eyed as the departure of a major character will turn lives upside down and leave us asking what happened to Mystic Falls.
