'The Vampire Diaries' Spoilers: Damon And Elena Over? Nina Dobrev And Ian Somerhalder Ask Producers To Keep Them Apart After Messy Breakup
While Elena and Damon are rekindling their relationship on The Vampire Diaries, it definitely doesn't seem like a case of life imitating art for the stars of the series. New reports are claiming that Nina Dobrev and her ex-boyfriend Ian Somerhalder, who play the star-crossed lovers on the highly popular CW TV series, have not been getting alone so great on the set. It seems that Ian's new romance with Twilight star Nikki Reed is causing some tension between him and his former lover — so much so that Nina is even asking the writers to cut down on Elena and Damon's screen time together.
According to reports from Celeb Dirty Laundry, the two actors allegedly asked the producers to try and keep their characters apart onscreen as much as possible. The site is also reporting that filming their steamy scenes together has become increasingly more difficult as Dobrev reportedly "hates" Somerhalder.
But lucky for them the writers had Damon gone for much of the first half of the show's sixth season, as he was trapped on The Other Side. Now that his character has returned to Mystic Falls, it seems Nina and Ian are having trouble filming their "passionate" scenes together.
The Inquistr is also reporting on the tension, saying that some fans of the series are worried that because of their falling out and since the two don't like working together that the series may be cut short.
The site is also reporting that when Ian started dating Nikki Reed in July, then that was really when all the tension started. While Nina and Ian dated for three years, after only five months of being together, he thinks he has found "the one" in Reed.
We aren't sure how this will affect The Vampire Diaries, as we are sure the end game is for Elena and Damon to be together. Hopefully, the creative team behind the scenes will be able to figure this one out.
