Okay, so can we talk about Nina leaving TVD?! The Freak?!
Y’all know me, and I DENY, DENY, DENY!! I truly refused to believe she was actually leaving the show. But after reading some of your comments… yeah. I know she’s gone. 😭
I genuinely thought they were going to wake her up in Season 7, Episode 8 (or something like that), so I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that THE star of the show just… leaves?!
I do know things like this happen. People outgrow their roles, move on for personal reasons, have career opportunities elsewhere, or maybe there are issues behind the scenes. I obviously don’t know the full story. But it does make me wonder: did it have anything to do with the fact that she was underpaid? After playing our girl Katherine AND Elena, how could they?! 😭 It’s taking everything in me not to google. Don’t want to run into any spoilers!
Or maybe it was something much simpler, like Nina just wanting a change in her life. Life takes its course, and as hard as it is for me to accept, maybe leaving was exactly what she needed.
Either way, I’m both nervous AND curious to see how this show progresses without our girl. I will say, I felt like Elena’s role was already being pushed a little more to the side during Season 6. She felt a lot quieter, and honestly, that’s okay! But now I’m wondering… was that intentional? Were they slowly preparing us for what was coming?
And one last thought: SHE HAD JUST TURNED HUMAN!!
I was SO looking forward to seeing Elena readjust to being human and watching her relationship with Damon evolve in this completely new dynamic. There was SO much more we could’ve seen from her. From them.
A baby? A family? Human Damon?! Everything Elena could’ve wanted was finally on the table, and I guess they just weren’t ready to give us that. 😭
I’ve had some time to process everything since our initial reaction to the Season 6 finale, and I just want to say that I’m sad, but I’m also excited, as always, for what’s to come.
I’m excited to potentially see more of the brotherhood shine, and lawd PLEASE give us some well-earned Bonnie time. She deserves it. 😭
But damn, Elena… we’re really doing this without you?! 😩
So Taylor and I have officially started filming our NEXT show for the channel… and honestly, the excitement is ALL I can think about! 😭🔥
Starting our journey through the TVD Universe has been SO much fun. From the incredible community we’ve built, to the chaos in the comments, the live streams, the reactions, the debates… all of it. You guys have genuinely changed the way I look at TV shows in general.
I’ve realized something about myself through all of this…
I LIKE THE DRAMA. 😂😂
Especially when I get to watch it with my wife. Seeing Taylor get so passionate about the characters and storylines is honestly one of my favorite parts of this whole experience. (And yes… it’s also REALLY fun to rage bait her while we watch. LOL 😂)
I’m excited. Like… REALLY excited.
I’m looking forward to starting another journey with everyone who has been actively engaging with us, and I’m even more excited to meet so many more of you along the way!
The TVDU has genuinely sparked something in me when it comes to this side of TV fandom. It’s a whole world I feel like I completely missed during my high school and college years, and now I’m sitting here wondering how I went this long without experiencing it.
I’m NOT revealing the show just yet 👀
But I did want to take a moment to give a HUGE shoutout to all of you for making this entire process something I actually look forward to every single time we hit record.
It really feels like we’re all part of one giant TV show/movie club, and honestly…
I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF IT.
Thank you guys for being here, for watching, commenting, debating, laughing with us, and making this journey what it’s become.
NEW SHOW COMING SOON. 👀🔥😁
We are seeing such mixed reviews for Season 7 and 8 but we are looking forward to it!! Watch with us an have a great time. We already started watching our next show anyway, wanna guess what it is? You're probably right! :))
