"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 star Paul Wesley recently hinted on the possibility of both Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Wesley) dying in the finale.
In an interview with E! News, both Somerhalder and Wesley agreed that "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 shouldn't end on a positive note. After all, nothing good happens in Mystic Falls. When asked if they think Nina Dobrev will return, Somerhalder said that he's not sure. By the looks of it, if Elena Gilbert (Dobrev) will return, it won't be to reunite with Damon, but to get rid of him and his younger brother.
"Honestly, I don't know that. It's Mystic Falls. There are no happy endings. I don't start that way and I don't know if it's going to end that way. I know that's a very much anticipated storyline but I honestly just don't know," he said.
Meanwhile, Somerhalder is 50/50 with regards to giving Damon and Elena a happy ending that their fans think they both deserve. He is also doubtful that Stefan should be happy in the finale. "These two guys came into this town, they wreaked havoc. This poor, 18 year old girl - talk about robbing the cradle. I'm like 65! These two guys came into her life, and they destroyed it! Everything she's ever known is gone. Almost everyone she's ever known is dead. She burned her house down. She's now in a box," he said.
In the end, Somerhalder and Wesley both believe that it is important for Mystic Falls to go back to what it once was before they came along. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Damon and Stefan can still benefit from this. "Let Mystic Falls go back to being a place where humans thrive. I want the humans to win because humans need to win. We need hope for humanity right now," he said.
In other news, executive producer Julie Plec previously told TV Line that she's confident Dobrev will sign on to reprise her role in the finale. If she decides to be part of Season 8 earlier, Plec will also take her in in a snap of a finger.
"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
