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...

Hugo, No Go

There has been a lot of backlash, bitching, and bulling over the 2015 Hugo Award Nominations.  I am so sad over this whole Sad Puppy shit.  Frankly, my dears, I don't give a damn about an author's politics. If I am offended by their writing, I will not continue to purchase said writing. No one forces anyone to read anything that offends them.  No author should encourage censorship.  I don't know if the nominations were fair, on the up and up, or deserve a big boo from the peanut gallery. I do know they got a couple of the nominations right.  Congratulations to a few fellows I know personally, like profoundly, and admire professionally:   Jim Butcher, Lou Antonelli, Mike Resnick, Jim Minz, and Brad W. Foster.  Y'all rock! Good luck! My favorite nominations for the 2015 Hugo Awards: Best Novel: Skin Game , Jim Butcher (Orbit UK/Roc Books) Best Short Story: “On A Spiritual Plain” , Lou Antonelli ( Sci Phi J...

Achievable writing goals

I believe in setting achievable writing goals. That doesn't mean I settle for less. It means I am usually fully aware of my present abilities; therefore I am usually fully aware of which goals are actually within my reach, and which ones are beyond reach from my current position. With each achievement I set the bar a little higher for the next project.  For years I was a closet writer. Most of what I wrote sucked and I wouldn't let anyone else read what I had written –because it sucked. Like learning to play a musical instrument, I got better with practice and finally allowed a few trusted friends to read and critique my stories.  Eventually I joined a writing group, took a couple of classes, and attended workshops and conferences. As I learned writing technique and honed my skills I started entering contest. Then I started winning contest.  Finally I got secure enough in my skills as a writer to submit my work to publishers. I've had a few short stor...
