The Vampire Diaries: Why Did Nina Dobrev Leave the Show?

-

 By Sanija Omeragic     



Imagine being a teen in a creepy town with weird stuff. Being surrounded by different creatures: vampires, wolves, witches, hybrids, all of that. You go to your high school and find this very mysterious, good-looking boy in your classes. You start talking to him a lot, knowing you both have quite a lot in common, but then you start to get very suspicious. He starts turning away each time you get hurt. Imagine you hang out with a boy you think is very cool and good looking, and you go to his house. What if you saw black/grey veins coming from his eyes, wouldn't you be scared and get out of there?  I think everyone would. That's the basis of The Vampire Diaries.


The Vampire Diaries is a very fun show that deals with relationships, drama, and mystery. As the actors have said about the show, it was enjoyable to make and they had a great time working together to make it. But after season 6 things got quite awkward in the show. This article will show you exactly what has been going on. Hope you enjoy it.


Elena Gilbert, a high school student, was shocked after her parents got into a car crash. Then Stefan and Damon roll into Mystic Falls and throughout the show Elena finds herself in a love triangle with both guys, who protect her from all the supernatural danger stuff that threatens her town. 


Actors Nina Dobrev, Paul Welsey, and Ian Somerholder are very good friends in the show, though at first Nina and Paul were not so close. Nina also stated on the "Directionally Challenged" podcast run by her very good friends and co-stars Candice King and Kayla Ewell,

"Paul and I didn't get along at the beginning of the show. I respected Paul Wesley, I didn't like Paul Wesley."

Luckily, they started getting along very well on the show and are now very good friends till this day. After a couple of seasons, Nina and Ian started to have a connection to each other. Not just in the scenes in the show, but also in real life. Ian and Nina started to hang out more and more. Nina didn't intentionally think anything was going to happen between her and Ian.

                                                                                                                   

Throughout the show, Elena eventually turned into one of the supernaturals by Damon Salvatore, aka Ian. Because of this, and all their scenes together they started to date in real life. Nina and Ian were dating for a couple of years and loved each other. 


When Paul Wesley heard that Nina and Ian were dating he was very happy for them, but a little upset because he also liked Nina. But since Nina, Ian, and Paul were all very good friends he didn't want to ruin anything between them. 

     

Then most Vampire Diaries fans started to notice Nina and Ian start to fall out of love from each other. Both stars announced that they split up for the best in 2013 for the show and other personal reasons. It got very awkward between them, but they remained friends still. While they broke up, their characters in the show were still dating. While the show was going on, Nina and Ian even accepted a "Best Chemistry" award together at the People's Choice Awards shortly after breaking up.


Nina ended up introducing her very good friend Nikki Reed--who starred in the Twilight movies--to Ian and thought everything would be fine and they would all be good friends. After a year, Nina got very suspicious the way Ian and Nikki were hanging out. (Don't forget this was all happening during season 6 in The Vampire Diaries!)


Nina realized that Ian and Nikki were dating. Nina was okay and happy for their relationship, but a little confused. While Nina and Ian's characters were still dating on the show, Nikki was not happy with it and told Ian to stop. Nina didn't think anything of it; she just went with it for the show. Fans started to think she left because of her and Ian's breakup, but this was not the case, Nina announced in 2015 she decided it was best for her to leave the show after her character Elena's journey had to come to an end. After season 6, Nina came back only for the final episode in season 8. 


When Nina came back to the show, she mentioned that she did not want to play a teenage girl anymore, she wanted to play the role of an adult. Nina also said in an interview,

“I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six-season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger.”

The Harry Potter Book Series 1-7 By Katy Simpson One day in 1990, a woman named  Joanne Rowling  had a thought pop into her head while on a delayed train, a boy with round glasses and a lightning scar. Thus, Harry Potter was born. I’m sure that you have all heard of the famous Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, but what has surprised me is how many HPCMS students have not read the series or at least watched the movies. 32.6%, in fact. While 22.1% have started, only 45.3% have read the series completely, and that is less than half! This is an extremely popular book series, yet few I have talked to have actually read it. Well, I hope this book review will change your mind! Harry Potter is a fantasy series written by J.K. Rowling, and the first book alone sold over 11 million copies, and many are still selling. This seven book series has an entire theme park dedicated to it and has a new History of Harry Potter exhibit in the New York Historical Society. There have be

The Downside of School Dress Codes for Female Students

By Briana Naranjo  Every school has a dress code students must follow. But some of those dress codes are out of line when it comes to what girls wear. For girls, there are a lot of school dress codes that dictate how much thigh and how much shoulder they are allowed to show. Many schools have these dress codes so the students dress “modestly,”  which is understandable to a certain extent. However, many school dress codes focus only on what the girls wear and never focus on what boys wear. This has started major outrage from students, as this is an unfair system and should be changed.    Shirts that show collarbones and shoulders are said to be too “distracting” for the boys and are not “appropriate” for the learning environment. These strict dress codes lead to many counts of girls being sent home due to the fact their clothes were too “revealing” or not “appropriate”. Dress codes don’t just focus on clothing, either: One case of an unfair dress code was in New Orleans, where at“a Roma

By Dash Fisher Hunters Point Community Middle School - It’s your neighbourly and friendly friend here, Dash! In the show Andi Mack, a character comes out as gay to his friend. Here are my thoughts and feelings about it. Andi Mack is a Disney Channel show about tweens going through middle school. Starring Peyton Elizabeth Lee as Andi Mack, Andi Mack is turning 13 when her older sister Bex returns home. Andi goes through her teenage life, with the help of her family and her friends Cyrus and Buffy, on top of coping with the discovery that Bex is actually her mother and that her mother Celia “Cece” is actually her grandmother, and managing her crush on classmate Jonah Beck. While another one of Andi’s friends, Cyrus, also has a crush on Jonah. So, in the show Cyrus comes out as gay. Gay is the G in LGBTQ+. LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and the plus stands for other sexualities/genders including but not limited to Pensexual, Asexual, and Intersex.
