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! :))

Tay's pick: Kay

Ugh i love me some Bamon, Damon saying Bonnie is his bestfriend is elite. Sorry Alaric you’ve been replaced. Also season 7 is one of my favorite seasons, so excited for your reactions

Jamal Bayliss

Pay up joe lol. Tay denying and denying won't ever get old.

Wellz pick: Heatherlicious 82

I loved Stefan’s speech about Elena bringing him and Damon together and how he needed Damon more than Elena #Defan

Teen wolf?

ashley kuate

About Nina, please DO NOT google anything...or read any yt comments from your youtube community posts if you don't want spoilers lol. It is known that she left, and yes she was being underpaid compared to Paul and Ian despite playing so many characters which is just crazy to me. You'll just have to wait and see how the story ends😭

Jasmine Reigns

Nina being underpaid always baffled me , the woman put soooo much work into her craft on this show and you can’t pay her fairly??? Insane. Excited for the new show , hope it’s Teen Wolf, had a real obsessive phase with that show

ashley kuate

Supernatural...? I know it's LONG but it's so good

Dale LaPointe

I really think Lucifer would hit just like this show for everyone . just saying your going to regret not watching it !

Dale LaPointe

Nina was 20 when she started and was paid along the lines of Kat Graham and Candice King all were paid the same to begin the series Ian and Paul were paid more because Paul was 27 and Ian 30. Its like saying Nina should of been paid equal to Jennifer Aniston season 1 not going to happen. Her paid increased after the show became a hit but she was 3rd in the pay scale to both Ian and Paul. We all think bye start of season 2 they should of paid he equally no matter what she earned it. But lets not act like she would of been paid the same as a proven star like Jennifer Aniston if she was in this series an a lead there is zero chance she make the same as her!

Tammy

I'm hoping for Teen Wolf, Bridgerton, or Buffy. Lots of Drama, fun, and feels in all of them. And yes, just like everyone says, please don't google or read Youtube comments, you would definitely get spoiled.

Kalp Thaker

Yeah I think without giving any spoilers, season 7 and 8 are will be without elena and they are kinda okayish! Although you will love the brotherhood between damon and stefan in the season 7, and 8, not sure whether you will like where bonnie's storyline goes... But on the side note, as The Originals guy, so so so excited to watch season 3 for the billionth time, this time with you guys 🤎, probably THE BEST season in the entire TVDU!!!

Dale LaPointe

I still think Season 6 TVD was the best over all for character growth and stories growing from start of series perhaps the most important one !Kai is the worst so far and I agree he is even worse then Klaus yet we seen from day one Stefan was painted good brother yet we seen perhaps we didn't know everything same about Klaus & Elijah way more to come to who actually is worse its debatable for all brothers from both series perhaps the key word is which is more grey then the other one but neither set brother is pure evil !

john segun doe

Is that pic ai or real i can’t tell anymore lol

Gianna

even if she wasn’t playing MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, it’s crazy that the LEAD wasn’t payed equal to her male counterparts. that still actually makes me so mad it’s ridiculous.

Anass Ha

Finally the originals s3 yall are not ready so many deaths,plot twists literally the best season of the entire universe..

Jasmine Reigns

Loveeeeee Lucifer , the writing and perspective is phenomenal

Unavailable

Have they ever watched the flash?(little sister)

Unavailable

I LOVE SUPERNATURAL, watched all 15 seasons. Definitely worth it.(little sister)

kosia

As a in real time viewer of Tvd. I'm pretty sure we knew she was leaving weeks b4 the finale, so we weren't as shocked, but we just didn't know the how.

Aurora

Yes Nina left because she wasn't paid nearly enough close to Ian or Paul's pay. She did just as much as them if not more by playing multiple characters but they didn't pay her so she left after season 6. They wrote her in a way where shes still here in the dialogue and influences characters but the actual Elena is no longer in the plot right now

Gianna

can we put the ai pics down LMAOO PLEASE

Aurora

AI. You can tell by looking at lighting and looking at the details like the forest outside the window

Lou

don’t be fooled bc it kind of seems like it starts to get better for bonnie a little but then it just gets worse again 😭😭

Lou

but how I didn’t give any details

Andrew Walford

Really hoping Tay watches The Rogue Cut of X-Men: Days of Future Past!

SpikesEcho

The TVD audience unsurprisingly for years spread rumors about why Nina left, making up drama, and unsurprisingly they were completely wrong and the reality was as simple and realistic as can be: she couldn't negotiate a higher pay, felt undervalued since her pay had ALWAYS been lower than the boys', and generally was ready for a change. The same reasons most people leave jobs. The most obvious answer is always most likely.

kai

i hope the next one is Once Upon a Time i love that show soooo effing bad

Unavailable

She should have never been underpaid especially she is literally the main character with Stefan and Damon. They all should have been paid the same.

Amanda Diaz

Bridgerton would be so good!

Heatherlicious 82

Nina was underpaid but at first she told us she was just wanting to try bigger roles. She actually just admitted being underpaid not too too long ago, however you’ll just have to wait to see how it all ends…. And some things from both shows is why you guys might want to give Legacies a try after both shows have ended. I just wanted to finish the whole Universe and I’m glad I did.

James

Lucifer or supernatural!

Miloš 🇷🇸

I never finished legacies but I heard it got way better than season 1 was, plus it does end the TVDU , id love to watch it for the first time with them

Miloš 🇷🇸

The way I see it, something good is coming for Bonnie but then it gets destroyed, again, so they’ll be waiting for it

Tay's Cup O' Joe

SO sad. She is a lead and the show basically revolved around her!

Tay's Cup O' Joe

Ouuu we actually watched Bridgerton, wish we reacted to it. SO good

Tay's Cup O' Joe

That makes sense but definitely should’ve changed as it progressed.

Tay's Cup O' Joe

SMH. Yeah can see so far they’re keeping her alive in spirit and dialogue

Tay's Cup O' Joe

I didn’t because of pacing issues compared to the first one! But if there’s a way I can just add the cut at some point, I will!

Heatherlicious 82

Especially when you see the final seasons of both shows you will definitely want to see what happens, not gonna lie not every episode is as good as the main shows but there was enough to keep me hooked to see it through. You guys will be glad you finished it. Paul and idk who else directed one of my favorite episodes too.

Andrew Walford

Okay gotcha, that makes sense for the first watch! And yeah if you ever want to watch/react to the additional scenes, I know you’ll find them interesting!

Tammy

Aww, that's a shame, but glad you enjoyed it! I love your reactions, so I'm looking forward to whatever you react to next.

KadeTheGreat

Yall should do Nikita! Another Cw banger

Kuro

You guys should watch Outer Banks if you guys haven't

Łiv~Łiv

SUPERNATURAL!!!!!!

john segun doe

Supernatural or Smallville WOULD GO CRAZY!!!! Want y'all to watch both for different reasons but they would be sooo fire

john segun doe

SO GOOD especially first 5 season MY GAWD!!!!!

Kim Cottingham

But she said in season 4 panel when asked how long did she want to do tvd she said 6 was a good number. Fans where not nice to her either when ian and her broke up. Yes disgusting pay had some to do but she wanted to move on do other stuff. She's a badass and deserves way more than she got from executives

SpikesEcho

She said 6, because that's when her contract was up and she couldn't negotiate higher pay for her next contract with them.

Heatherlicious 82

The interview she did not super long ago though was her real answer and trying new things. Other reasons were given in the beginning. Actually no girl got paid what Ian and Paul did and I would think that would be illegal. I believe Julie did root for her with Warner brothers but they wouldn’t budge which was honestly one of the dumbest decisions they made.

helia

really really hope the next show is teen wolf or supernatural!!

Danna Machado
