Nina Dobrev seemed to enjoy the change of pace of Fam, so I am sorry for her, the cast, and other Fam fans that the show didn't get a renewal. There's no saying that Dobrev would want to return as Elena, since she already left The Vampire Diaries before the final season, wanting to say goodbye to the role. She did return for the finale, and wrapped up Elena's story to show the start of her life with the newly human Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). The Vampire Diaries finale even showed Elena and Damon later finding peace in the afterlife. But there's a lot that Legacies could explore when it comes to the lives Damon and Elena led after The Vampire Diaries.
