Recent ratings have also made it clear that the show could use a final season at this point. Even though reception is still pretty positive as a whole, fans and critics both agree that the recent developments on the screen haven’t managed to justify keeping the show around for much longer.
So far, most fans are just happy about the rumors of Nina Dobrev’s return, and even though it sounds like her character might not get together with either one of the brothers, contrary to the wishes of some followers, that’s not a major problem in the grand scheme of things.
As we said above, plenty of fans of the show actually agree with the idea of taking her love life in another direction, for the sake of all characters. And who knows, we may see a more interesting romantic story unfold by the end of this season, depending on how the producers play this out.
For now, fans are just waiting for the season to start, and are eagerly scouting the Internet for any information about the showrunners’ plans. A lot is being said about the show all over the Web right now, both from fans and critics, so there’s definitely no shortage of news and rumors, but filtering out the official information from all the noise can be a bit tricky. For some, the best course of action is apparently to just patiently wait for the season to start airing.
