Since exiting "The Vampire Diaries," reports have been circulating that Elena will come back to Mystic Falls. But Nina Dobrev finally put the final nail on the coffin, so to speak, during Ian Somerhalder's ex's speech at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.

On Sunday, Nina Dobrev received the award for Choice TV Actress in a Sci-Fi or Fantasy and her speech got serious all of a sudden, even if it started humorously when she went up the stage in fake fangs before taking them off.

"That's right! I don't need these anymore," she started. "The last few months have been a big change for me. Change. It's a scary word, or I used to think that, because it meant new beginnings. New beginnings with a future that was unknown."

Nina Dobrev continued, referencing her exit from "The Vampire Diaries," "But change is necessary. Necessary for you to grow up and learn and to better yourself, becauase everything in life comes to an end. As this chapter of my life comes to an end, I look back at it with a grateful heart, and I smile, because just like my character Elena, I started the show as a young girl, and together we grew up. We've grown up and over the last six years we've become women."

The former "The Vampire Diaries" star added, "These were six incredible years that I had the pleasure of sharing with all of you guys. We wouldn't be here without you. I wouldn't be here without you, and I wouldn't be here without Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson. They changed my life with this role-sorry, three, four roles. It's hard to keep track these days. So thank you guys, each and every single one of you."

But before leaving the stage, Ian Somerhalder's ex promised, "Change is coming! So hold on and enjoy the ride. It's going to be fun."

The producers of "The Vampire Diaries," including Ian Somehalder himself, have hinted of Nina Dobrev's character, Elena's, return to Mystic Falls amid rumors that she left because of Nikki Reed's husband.
