Mystic Falls won’t be the same after Thursday night.
Nina Dobrev is taking her final bow on The Vampire Diaries in the episode “I’m Thinking of You All the While” on Thursday, May 14. In honor of Elena Gilbert’s farewell (seriously, how will Damon take it!?) co-creator Julie Plec and fans galore shared their favorite moments and quotes from the gal who romanced the Salvatore brothers.
Plec — who previously revealed she tried to convince Dobrev to stay — started off down memory lane by asking viewers to post about the Degrassi alum using the hashtag #BestOfNinaDobrevTVD. But first, she let everyone in on the scenes she will remember most. Hint: Stelena is mentioned more than once!
“What are you??” #BestOfNinaDobrevTVD season 1, ‘You’re Undead to Me’. Mads Langer on the soundtrack.
