Nina Dobrev explained her exit from The Vampire Diaries by saying that she always imagined a six-season arc for Elena, and she hasn’t even committed to returning for the series finale.
If Dobrev doesn’t end up appearing in The Vampire Diaries Season 8, her guest appearance on Workaholics may be the first time that fans will see her back on TV since a performance on Lip Sync Battle opposite Tim Tebow.
Of course, she hasn’t expressed any regrets about her decision to leave the show that made her famous.
