‘The Vampire Diaries’ Star Nina Dobrev Regrets Quitting The Show? Producer Describes Departure As ‘Beautiful Shock’ With ‘Grief’
Last month, "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev announced her decision to leave the show. The brunette beauty will reportedly focus on creating films.
However, reports have risen that Dobrev's having difficulty having a career switch.
"Nina is having a slightly difficult time launching her movie career, in part because of the competition and in part because people still associate her with Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries," read the report from Celeb Dirty Laundry.
The publication claims that "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev might regret her decision because of the struggle she is encountering in landing high-profile film roles.
Fans of the hit CW series are wondering on how the creative team will provide an exit for the show's lead female character. Many are speculating that Damon Salvatore's love interest will be killed off in the season 6 finale. Some are also guessing that Bonnie Bennett will soon become the lady love of the elder Salvatore brother.
Executive Producer Julie Plec admitted in a KCRW podcast that her team tried to persuade the Canadian beauty to change her decision. The team even presented the great plans which they crafted for Dobrev's character.
However, Nina Dobrev insisted that she only signed up for six years and that she's ready to "move on and spread her wings."
Plec also thinks that Dobrev's depature was a "beautiful shock" with "grief attached to it." She explains that it's important to tell the fans early so that they won't be caught off guard - something that happened to the fans of "The Good Wife" when Josh Charles left the show.
"A lot of our audience - they're still teenagers - and there is a profound attachment to this character and to this show," Plod said in the podcast.
"I started looking at it from a fan point of view and being like, 'We need to tell them that it's happening before it happens. You can't just end the season and do what we're going to do to this character.'" Plec added.
