"The Vampire Diaries" will soon start filming for season 8, leaving fans speculating about the possible return of other characters aside from Elena Gilbert, played by Nina Dobrev.

Recently it was announced that Dobrev would be returning for the final season of "The Vampire Diaries." However, the makers have remained mum as to when this will actually happen.

With the news of Dobrev's return in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, speculations have already been rife in the air about more comebacks. Notably, the number of cast members has been trimmed, with just Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder), Stefan (Paul Wesley), Caroline (Candice King), Bonnie (Kat Graham), Enzo (Michael Malarkey) and Alaric (Matt Davis) remaining.

In a poll created by Hypable, fans were asked about the characters they would love to see returning on "The Vampire Diaries". Besides Elena Gilbert, viewers also chose Tyler Lockwood, Katherine Pierce,  Rebekah and Klaus Michaelson, and Lexi Branson.

It seems that the wishes of fans might just come true as the executive producer Julie Plec mentioned to TV Line that she might include crossovers for "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Originals."

"It's a rare luxury to have two shows in a shared universe that you could do that," Plec said.

"So to not do it feels like we're missing a really fun creative opportunity, a way to celebrate both shows," she continued. "But it's not like anyone over at the network is calling us and being like, 'You need two crossovers this year.' I think it'd be fun to keep finding small, organic ways to do it."

It is not yet known which characters will return for the upcoming season of "The Vampire Diaries," and viewers will have to wait till it is aired.
