Since TVD has already ended, you all probably know that Delena is endgame, right? Married; From Elena Gilbert to Elena Salvatore after she woke up in Season 8; Has kids mentioned in Legacies; Growing old together :) But anyways, @delenasalvatore, I love your articles. Would you mind or is it too late for me to ask you to write "The Similarities Between Elena and Damon" or "How are Damon and Elena alike in personality and characteristics wise?" I would appreciate it if you do write this. Thanks.

DE ended right, but I wish JP hadn't botched them so badly after Elena's no humanity arc in S4. The journey was rewarding till then, before decided to shock viewers into a comatose state.

Just seen the teaser trailer for Elena returning, and all the SE fans are getting excited. I swear, it's like they've been frozen in time for the last couple of years, they assume their ship is going to happen all over again...

I sincerely hope the writers haven't decided to go there. It would be pointless because for so long now, we have been led to believe that delena are the it couple of the show. I mean they have got out of their way to show us that delena will always be the great OTP of this show.over a year ago
Having stelena become an item again after everything that's happened would be completely Pointless, and not believe able in any way possible.over a year ago
If I were the SE fans, then I wouldn't be to excited. If this is the case, then I can say with all honesty that I have never seen anything so forced in all my years of watching this show.over a year ago
You'd be surprised (I was), at how they cling onto such little things that happened years ago. They see what they want to see. There's no point in even trying to debate in a logical manner with them.over a year ago

Not a rehash of the love triangle. Heaven help us. What if Damon sacrifices himself to save Stefan, even if that means giving up Elena? I wouldn't put it past the writers to do something like that.over a year ago
"Coming back for the series finale has been a whirlwind of emotion, nostalgia, love, tears of joy and bittersweet endings. It feels like the beautiful closure we all needed, myself included." - Nina Dobrev said in her final goodbye to fans. I came on here because I was going to say that I hadn't seen one pic of her and Ian at the wrap party and I was worried - and then I saw the pic of her, Nikki and Ian and I was so happy. Let's hope they've put all the crap behind them.

Would you rather there were no pics of Ian and Nina at all? The show is ending - well, for them the show HAS ended, they've finished filming I think - it would be very sad indeed if, after all this time, they were still at odds with each other. Nian are over. They were a beautiful couple whom everyone adored, but they've moved on, and it does no-one any good to hold grudges.over a year ago
Why do you feel sick? I've seen various cast photos of Nina behind the scenes and at this wrap party thing, but until now, I have seen no pics of her with Ian, and that troubled me. If there had been NO pics of her with Ian whatsoever, THEN I would feel sick.over a year ago
As good as it is that they have buried the hatchet, seeing that annoying pain in my ass in the pic with them makes me want to smash something.over a year ago
Ian apparently posted on social media that the 3 of them had dinner together. The show has wrapped. I haven't always liked the fact that Nikki has hung around with cast members as if she's one of them, but the show has ended, and I guess it makes sense she was there. (I also don't think she's working at the mo). The 3 of them are putting on a united front because they want to address the back-stabbing rumours that have continued to circulate and probably establish some kind of control over the media. I haven't liked Somereed, I'll admit - but I think it's important they do this.over a year ago
If I've offended anyone with my remarks, then I really do apologise for my behaviour. I guess what made me angry more than anything, was that this might very well be nians very last shoot together. Even if they had only shook hands or atleast hugged as cast mates. Then I would so happy, but no, she has to be in EVERY single photoshoot that they have together or thst he has with the cast. It's so stupid. I just don't see why she has to be in between them.over a year ago
I am seriously sick to death of hearing all these supposed 'reports' in the media about Nina's 'return'. Some say she won't come back. And they try to make it look like she won't by using anything they can, even if it doesn't make sense. Something she posted on her Instagram, all the stuff about 'Somereed' - anything. Then they say she will come back. It's turned into such a media frenzy, and most of it isn't even true. I don't know if that's what the producers want, but
Posted over a year ago
if she doesnt, they're basically using her to promote the final season of their show, and that's not fair to the fans. Like, TVD doesn't have anything else going for it anymore. Even their storylines about the new season has been completely overshadowed by the uncertainty over whether Nina will return or not, and the drama surrounding her, Ian and Reed.over a year ago
Anything good or bad that's being written - will Nina come back as another character, will Elena still get together with Stefan, is Reed jealous and not want Ian working with Nina, is basically a swipe at us, the DE fans. Which means that even after all this time, the show still needs Delena and us the fans.over a year ago
We can never know what really goes on, but what I repeatedly read and what sounded at least somehow believable, also in being to some degree vague, is people from the show as well as those from the network saying that they are in negotiations with Nina, and that they truly want her back, but that they also work on a plan for an end without her. That could be the truth, although I don’t know if it WAS or still IS true, because they could easily wait until the ultimate last episodes actually will be shown to reveal Nina’s return or her refusal to come back (what has already been done with former actors on several other shows in their last episodes).over a year ago
I would prefer to know sooner what to prepare for, but the show-runners have always proven to be more interested in keeping suspense than in decreasing our suffering; and even with Nina in the WHOLE season left (what I doubt; it will probably be nothing or only shortly in the ultimate finale; with luck, a couple of episodes), they couldn’t make up for what we had to go through. It is also bad that they now try to make other characters and couples bigger than they truly are, but they of course know – what is the truth and what worldwide trending, votings, dropping ratings, increasing complaining and so on underline – that Delena are most beloved and the most important part of the story, and they surely try to use them for publicity.over a year ago
I already start to believe that the rumours about the drama behind the camera was only invented to hide the undoubtedly obvious end when it comes to the story (but even if there were problems, actors have to do what they are told and there is no need to keep them satisfied to make them stay anymore because the show will end anyway). But almost everything that is said nowadays includes nothing official and even sounds incredibly unbelievable, and I won’t trust anything until it is proven to be officially said by someone directly from the network, the show or Nina’s management. I am so glad that everything will be finally over in some months, and although I am not in a good condition, I feel much better because I stay away from the wild speculations, what is easier for me because I don’t “wander” around the internet now that I am too broken to come up with interest in anything at all anymore.over a year ago
Future headlines I would love to see: "DELENA REUNION ALMOST BREAKS SOCIAL MEDIA." "DOBREV'S RETURN FOR TVD FINALE HELPS SHOW SCORE HIGHEST VIEWING FIGURES SINCE SEASON 1 AS DAMON AND ELENA REUNITE." "PLEC ADMITS: 'CONTINUING THE SHOW WITHOUT NINA AND DELENA DIDN'T WORK.' " And: "IT'S OVER: REED AND SOMERHALDER SPLIT 6 MONTHS AFTER SHOW ENDS." (Don't judge me for the last one, OK? A girl can dream, can't she?)

Honestly, who cares about Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder's relationship? Sure, they seem a little in-your-face about it, but that's only because Nian fans are known for being so extra, it pains. It also doesn't help that the media goes into a speculation frenzy whenever Ian and Nina so much as breathe in each other's direction. All of that may be negatively affecting their marriage, and it may be stressing them out, who knows. I actually don't blame Nikki Reed for being uncomfortable with Delena scenes. That's just her opinion.over a year ago
Jeepers, I was just trying to be funny. I was never a huge Nian fan, I never cared that much about them when they were together. I don't even care about 'Somereed'. I don't know how much drama surrounding 'Nian' and/or DE is affecting their relationship, but I am aware that since Ian got with Nikki, things between him and Nina seemed to go from 'OK' to terrible. Now he can barely mention Delena in interviews without gagging or making some inane comment about them - it's like he can't distinguish between a fictional couple and real life. He married Nikki, he should have moved on from it and feel absolutely nothing towards Nina now. At the very least he should be acting professional, because at the end of the day, he's an actor.over a year ago
If Ian and Nikki wanted to avoid public intrusion into their relationship, they would have been better off keeping it low-key. That's just my opinion. I honestly don't care about what they do, but before Ian got with Nikki, he and Nina seemed to be handling their break-up quite well. (Well enough to attend the PCA's together, and crack a joke about their break-up). Then Nikki came along. Nina and Ian haven't been seen in public together since, Nina announced she was leaving the show, and Ian didn't even attend her goodbye party. Maybe I shouldn't blame Nikki or 'Somereed' for putting a crack in DE's happy ever after; maybe everything that happened is something all down to Nina and this is Nina's fault, I don't know.over a year ago
Yeah, I know you were just trying to crack a joke, I'm just sick that apparently these days DE shippers can't even mention their ship without mentioning Nikki Reed. Sounds like the obsession goes both ways. Like I said, maybe the extra Nian fans scrutinizing Ian's personal life (and their inability to tell fiction from real life, let's be real) is the reason DE is a touchy subject for him. Maybe something happened between him and Nina behind closed doors that had nothing to do with Nikki, or maybe, just maybe, Ian Somerhalder is just a glorified douchebag, who knows. The possibilities are endless.over a year ago
I think that some Nian fans do like Ian and Nikki - but most don't, probably because they find them a little bit 'trying too hard'. Nian never flaunted their relationship on social media (we were lucky if we got so much as a personal photo of them), and so I think they were respected that much more for it. I personally don't trust all these celeb couples who apparently doing their utmost to create a 'perfect' image of their relationship on instagram etc. Instagram is one thing, but reality is another. And there's no way that a couple can be 100 percent perfect and loved-up all the time.over a year ago
I know there are some DE fans who were Nian shippers first, and DE shippers second, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can't distinguish fiction from 'real life'. I'm hoping that most of the fandom are aware that Nian's relationship was VERY different from the one that was being played out on-screen. I think the obsession over 'Nian' that continues to this day is testimony of how much people loved them. Maybe Ian is aware of that and that's why it annoys him so much. People - fandoms - get very attached to a celebrity pairing. I know that 'Once Upon A Time's Jennifer Morrison and Colin O'Donoghue receive a rapturous response on Twitter if they ever post pics of themselves on set etc, even though Colin is married and has a son,over a year ago
I hate Reed and "somereed" beacuse I am a Nian lover, they were adorable together. However, I will always choose Delena. Ian should be thankful to us for making the show so successful, the fictional couple DE is perfect. I have never felt so passionate about a TV romance. He should keep his personal opinion secret because he is offending DE fans. It's not fair/over a year ago
I don't know if the producers have tried to intervene in the situation (because you cannot tell me that they don't know there's a problem), but it they are smart, they'll give Ian a sound talking to. This is the LAST series of the show. They must know that when Nina left, that hurt the ratings. They clearly realise that if they don't give Delena the reunion the fans want, then they'll just end up getting hated on and will look stupid. If the producers are smart, they'll step in.
Posted over a year ago
Either Ian should go to a therapist to resolve whatever animosity he feels towards Nina, OR, the producers should hold some kind of intervention. They could contact Nina and ask her to come by for a meeting/dinner/whatever sounds reasonable, but casually let it slip that Ian isn't going to be there because he has other committments. They could also do the same with Ian. Then, when Ian and Nina are in the same place, they should lock the 2 of them in a room together and tell them the only way they will let them out is if they reach some kind of truce. Even if they're not friends, they are damn well going to be civil to each other and not let their personal problems interfere with their work.over a year ago
Are they the only co-stars who have to film romantic scenes while they dislike each other? No way. When they were filming 'The Notebook', Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams had to pause the scene they were shooting to yell at each other because they hated each other so much. Does it show in the film? No, because McAdams and Gosling are consummate professionals who care about the story they are telling. Ian has my permission to hate Nina for the rest of his life, but while he is working on TVD, he has a job to do and a duty he owes to his fans, to us, to Nina and to the rest of the cast and crew NOT to let his feelings get in the way of his work.over a year ago
Honey, I swear, i was thinking last night: They should do what they do in TV-shows and movies when two people don't get along. Lock them up and force them to resolve their problems.over a year ago
He also owes it to himself to rise above it. I am concerned that either the writers will water down any DE scene we may get because they don't want to make things too awkward, or that things on set will be so strained (especially if Reed accompanies Ian as she seems to spend most of her time these days), that the scene won't be as passionate or as real or as powerful as it should be. If that happens, I will be furious with all of them. We haven't waited all this time to get less than what we deserve.over a year ago
So apparently, Nina was missing from a cast dinner thrown by Julie Plague - but Nikki Reed was there. Hmm, could that be the reason?? Or was Nina only missing in action because she was filming elsewhere? Who knows? What kind of bugs me though (and don't hate me for saying this), but it doesn't appear as if anybody else's significant other was featured in the photos that were taken and posted on the likes of Instagram (if Celeb Dirty Laundry is correct).

In one photo, Nikki is front and centre with Ian and I think Kevin Williamson (?) on one side and Kat on the other - you'd think Nikki was a cast member too, and she's not. For some reason, it just annoys me. (Don't hate me, OK?)over a year ago
I hear you. I get that she's Ian wife and that's fine and all, but...she doesn't need to be at every TVD gathering. She is not part of it.over a year ago
I honestly don't see why she has too be there. She is NOT part of the cast. TVD has fuck all to do with her. this is getting rediculous. She has no need to be there. That is ninan spot, not hers. I mean seriously, clingy much??over a year ago
Last year, when they were newly married, Ian actually called Nikki up on stage at a TVD convention they were attending in Brazil. I know they were newly married and she was there to support him and all, but to call her up on stage was too much, in my opinion. If he had wanted to acknowledge her, he could have waved to her in the audience or something. It just sometimes feels like Nikki is given this special treatment simply because she's married to Ian, and he's a big star on TVD. It seems unnecessary if you ask me. Do you see any of the other cast members who are married parading THEIR spouses around??over a year ago
I want to bet you everything that when TVD is over and Ian is no longer in the spotlight, it'll be just a matter of time before their marriage is over.over a year ago
i completely agree!! right now she has nothing better to do and no career of her own to focus on so being ian's shadow IS her full time job right now. let's see when the show is over and the sun breaks. my guess is that there will be no more shadow!! :)over a year ago
I was irritated to discover she was in the photo! The dinner was for cast members ONLY! Last time I checked she wasn't part of TVD, though somehow she thinks she is. I feel terrible for poor Nina when she was in TVD shooting scenes with Ian when she's there. Unbelievable. Reed is clingy and desperate. Why can't he see that? Is she ensuring Nina doesn't return? Does this mean she is joining? That would be a nightmare.over a year ago
I agree with all of you. It's VERY possible that once the show is over and Ian's career falters, Nikki will lose interest in him. Like, her career was going nowhere and she wasn't getting any attention until she started going with him. Her career in country music apparently didn't work out and neither did her marriage to Paul McDonald.over a year ago
I'm afraid the writers are going to totally destroy Delena. Even though I don't watch TVD anymore, I did for years obviously, and I still get current TVD vids 'recommended' for me on YT. '7X19: Damon is jealous of Bonnie and Enzo'. Most of the comments are Bamon fans cheering now Bonnie is at the centre of the show, and whooping with joy over their ship, and that even though Damon still mentions Elena frequently, his mind is on Bon-Bon. I turned it off after 10 seconds because I felt SICK.
Posted over a year ago
Yes, Damon loves Elena, but she is gone, with no hint of her ever returning. Clearly, the Bonnie/Enzo pairing isn't a big enough ship. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Damon did end up with Bonnie at this rate. There have been many solid, logical arguments why Bamon can never become a reality, but none of those arguments ever took into account that Elena wouldn't be around. The show is no longer about her. The show is no longer about a love triangle. The show no longer features Elena and Bonnie's friendship/sisterhood. All of that is gone. So is Delena.over a year ago
And all media and most viewers are already for a very long while sure about Delena ending up together, and that shouldn’t be lost only because someone parted. When they knew that Nina would leave, the show-runners showed Elena’s inability to exist without Damon, proved them to get together again under all circumstances and led them to their happy-end, including a sort of wedding ceremony with vows and finishing their plans for their shared future, with only the end itself left open to still being shown.over a year ago
They used words of “forever/eternal/never-ending love”, “holding on through bad phases that will always be followed by a change for the good”, “always finding one’s way back to each other” and so on, and they continue to do that this season ("After everything you’ve been through, what a shame it would be to lose her.", "Because you may be a thousand years away, or a hundred years away. You’re still here with me. And my heart is right there in that coffin with you. Until you’ll come back to me.", "Damon Salvatore and his everlasting happiness with Elena.", …), while they – after putting a huge effort for YEARS into creating the best love story ever in each detail over the years – put an immense effort into keeping Elena an important part of the story – even as only a wooden box or just by mentionings for now. I try to keep my hope low, but nothing in the story causes me to worry, even with so many stupid and painful things.over a year ago
