TBH if season 8 wasn't so bad fans wouldn't mind it ending, if it got a decent ending. If that makes sense.
I think many fans realise that if its dragged on much longer it's going to virtually nothing like the show fans enjoy. Paul Lee was a fan, he kept wittering on about how he was. Well he's gone, figures are awful. It's on it's last legs.
Nathan is only slightly more interested in continuing than Stana.
This is the dilemma for fans though. The whole season 8 plot arc has been epically awful. The show runners messed up big time. And sure if the stars want to 'explore other opportunities', then let them they've been on board for eight seasons. But what fans don't want is season 8 to be the finale. But they don't want a show that limps on with half the original cast gone off.
