Who is writing Nina Dobrev off The Vampire Diaries?

Rumor has it Nina Dobrev is leaving The Vampire Diaries.

They've set up a scenario in which, the now human, Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) could be killed off in the next episode, "I'm Thinking of You All the While", the Season 6 Finale, May 14, 2015.

SPOILER ALERT: Tonight's episode, "I'll Wed You in the Golden Summertime", ended with Elena on the floor, surrounded by shattered glass, looking dead, again.

Can the show survive without Elena Gilbert?

The entire story revolves around the love triangle between Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley), Elena, and Stefan's brother, Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder).

Damon's supernatural outburst of intense grief may hold the audience's interest for the first three or four episodes of Season 7. Interest could be piqued even longer if Damon is forced to hunt down Kai Parker (Christopher Charles Wood) before annihilating him in the most gruesome fashion allowed by censorship.

Then what?

Will Ian Somerhalder's new vampire bride, Nikki Reed ,–aka Rosalie Hale, The Twilight Saga—make an appearance as Damon Salvatore's new vampire lover?

Will the romantic relationship between, Stefan Salvatore and Caroline Forbes (Candice Accola), boil over and keep the screen sizzling without the Damon/Elena heat around to fan the flames?

Will the show fizzle out and fade away, like any well staked vampire series?

I only watch The Vampire Diaries because I got hooked on The Originals.

I love the character Klaus (Joseph Morgan) so much; I started watching TVD from the beginning, on Netflix, just to learn more about him. I continued watching TVD after Klaus left the show, in case he made a surprise appearance, and because I like Ian Somerhalder's performance as Damon Salvatore.

Will I continue to watch TVD without Nina Dobrev? Probably. I'm curious to see what happens to Damon without his soul mate.

Can the show survive without the relationship between Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert? Probably not.

It's dangerous to kill off major characters in a television series. Killing off the major love interest of two major characters, after 6 Seasons as the central love interest of the show, is bound to lead to disaster.

Then again, we've learned from, too many, similar storylines, a human girl falling for a vampire always leads to disaster.

So Proud of My Son

On September 30, 2022, my son, Ian Kennedy, opened his business, Naughty Axes Playhouse , at 4407 SE 29 th Street, in Del City, Ok. I'm so proud of him. The place looks great. Especially when it was all decked out for Halloween. He and his partners built all the targets, lanes, and remolded the interior of the building themselves. They did a great job. I didn't even realize my son knew how to use a hammer for anything other than demolition. I had such a great time during their Grand Opening. Throwing sharp objects at stationary targets is really a fantastic way to relieve stress. It's great exercise. Especially for tightening up those flabby underarms. I am bound and determined to become efficient enough to enter a tournament. Wonder if they have a Senior's division in pro axe throwing competitions? Not only is he starting his own axe throwing business, he's also starting his career as a comedian. He's already performed at the B...

There Really Is Enough Room In The Pond

I've truly been blessed to meet, get to know, and even become friends with hundreds —possibly thousands— of writers over the last three decades. Many of those contacts have come through the Oklahoma Writers' Federation Inc ., SoonerCon , Yard Dog Press , and a score of other writing groups, writing conferences, and Sci-Fi conventions I've attended. Once upon a time, I was envious of how much more talent some of those writers possessed. I felt insignificant. I was a tiny drop of water in a giant sea. I was always struggling to keep my head above water, and always sinking farther and farther below more talented and more successful authors. When I retired from the theatre, nearly 35 years ago, I retired at a time when I was completely confident in my talent and abilities as an actor. I retired at a time when I was at my peak and knew I could have been a professional actor if I had pursued that career. Because of that confidence, I had the ability to walk away from...

M.I.A.

I've been missing in action for the last two weeks. Not actually missing. Just not productive. Haven't written a word in two weeks. Haven't updated the website, or blog. Haven't really done much around the house. I did clean the coat closet in the front hall yesterday. Tossed 25 years of junk. I have a hard time letting go of things. The older something is, the tighter I hold onto it. I've still got emails from 2009 in my inbox. Well, most of those are in folders not actually cluttering up my inbox. Most of them could be trashed. Along with a huge collection of half written—never will be finished—stories on my computer, in notebooks scattered all around my house, and rambling around inside my head. I can't seem to let go of old stories, or old story ideas. I may find a home for them somewhere. Someday. The problem is, I'm lousy at keeping track of where and when I've released them into the wild. I can't enter any of my old s...
