Elena's Choice: A Vampire Diaries Reunion

In the world of The Vampire Diaries, the debate between Team Damon or Team Stefan captivated fans for years. Recently, Nina Dobrev, known for her role as Elena, reignited this discussion with a playful Instagram comment. When E! News shared a photo of the Salvatore brothers, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, promoting their new bourbon line, Brother's Bond, they tagged Nina and posed the question: "POV: You're Elena on The Vampire Diaries. Who are you choosing?"

Nina's response was witty and light-hearted. She simply replied, "the bourbon," accompanied by a cheeky winky face emoji.

While Ian and Paul haven't responded directly, it's clear that Nina's answer struck a chord of amusement with them.

Navigating Vampire Politics: Ian's Take on 'Stelena' vs. 'Delena'

Ian Somerhalder, who played Damon Salvatore, has been vocal about his preference for 'Stelena' (Stefan and Elena) over 'Delena' (Damon and Elena). At a convention in 2019, Ian shared insights into his choice, citing the negativity he and his family faced from some Delena fans. "Stelena was better for my life," Ian remarked during a panel discussion.

"Stelena was fun. Stelena fans are like super cool." He humorously added that supporting Stelena allowed him to see Paul Wesley shirtless more frequently due to the on-screen romance scenes.

Ian's perspective sheds light on the unique dynamics within fandoms and the impact these preferences can have on actors personally. Despite the fictional love triangles, real-world relationships among the cast have endured, reflecting a positive camaraderie off-screen.

The unveiling of Brother's Bond by Ian and Paul not only celebrates their characters but also reflects the enduring legacy of The Vampire Diaries within pop culture. Nina's playful Instagram interaction adds another layer of nostalgia for fans, rekindling fond memories of the beloved supernatural series.
