Paul and Nina have great chemistry. I love their friendship. Nina is not appreciated enough for what an amazing job she did playing Katherine and Elena.

yeah not only Elene and Katherine she also have to play when she terns a vampire and the other. Doppelgänger Who is Silas lover

@@showtime6712 You do realize that most of the people were interested in Damon and Elena’s storyline, How she will fall in love with Damon. Delena Love story was majority of the audience were interested in because of their soul chemistry and tension between them, Fans were excited and curious about their relationship mostly also Damon was the fan Favorite character and Delena were fan favorite couple. Also Why is season 2, 3 and 4 are the best seasons of TVD because of the Originals storyline and Delena’s Relationship. These seasons got the best ratings.

Something interesting about that: Paul and Nina had amazing chemistry in season 1, and they hated each other back then.

Seems what happened with Nina and Paul. Thankfully they went to be best buddies after.

The feeling I got when Paul touched on the poor treatment of actors, (he said it more nicer). They were exhausted all the time because planning wasn't the best like last minute stuff... long days, bad weather and actors health being overlooked so yeah he and Nina couldn't really say much as this would have been bad for their careers but he did touch on it. I think that was one of the reasons Nina left because of poor concern for actors. Even them saying multiple times for them reaching their limits, I'm surprised they didnt leave sooner. I'm sure Nina would have stayed longer if they had better treatment like inbetween the lines, they didn't enjoy filming especially last minute.

Nina actually didn't leave because of the poor treatment. She left because she and Ian broke up in real life then decided to keep it professional but it was becoming too much. Ian started dating Nikki (who was also Nina's friend) It started to become too much drama so she stepped back.

@@jovanamosurovic1172 what a sad, sick, apathetic take. what they brought up here is super relevant to the current surge in union movement worldwide. also, it really highlights the awful reality that even these well off super successful actors in a hit series (some of whom were already famous BEFORE the series) are working schedules like this, so unknown actors from poor backgrounds who are in series that are doing less great are going through it even worse, for way less money. and if they are, so are their makeup/hair artists, costuming people, camera crew, etc and they don't make much to begin with. workers rights are for all workers! not feeling sorry for others going through it is what our rich bosses who make us work horrible shifts for little money are doing, i don't know why anyone would want to have that in common with them.

Season 2 is an 10/10 season for me. Great storylines, interesting villains, and character moments and some really sad character deaths (Rose, Jenna, and even John). Every episode this season felt important, the pacing is top notch!

Nina saying that picking “hold on” was stupid and small is so wrong. That song has literally changed my life and I bet it has changed many other peoples life, I wouldn’t have known the song probably if it wasn’t in the show. I wish I could tell her that, but thank you Nina. picking that song had a much bigger impact on us than you could have ever imagined 🤍

nah she didnt say picking the song itself is stupid and small, but the action itself of her suggesting something as stupid and small you know? she said shes proud what she chose had made the final cut because it was a small suggestion and is proud of the impact it made on the show- hense it becoming the finale soundtrack.

That's really true! I knew the song before the show and when i heard it in the show i strated crying like crazy!!!!

nina is so good as katherine my brain is waiting for her real life twin to come in and talk abt katherines scenes i like cant comprehend she did both, the talent

[@akilutsad]

Paul recommended Joseph is the best thing in the show cause I don't think anyone can portray the character Klaus the way Joseph did. And the second best thing Nina selected the song 'Hold on'. Cause the song made the last scenes more emotional and the song holds so much emotions in it. Much love to them. ❤️ Hope they'll bring Ian too someday and we'll be lucky to see these trio together.

Nina looks amazing as always. Some people keep asking about her eyebrows, I think thick or thin suits her. But yes maybe.. she would look younger if she thinned her eyebrows like before. But but these are trivial things. This girl is LEGEND. My baby Nina ❤❤❤

She had some sort of eye surgery done that changed her looks a lot, it’s not just the eyebrows. I watched a video where a plastic surgeon broke down what she had done.
