Exclusives from #ETonline :

They didn't like each other at all in the beginning yet their chemistry was one of the strongest things about the earlier seasons!!
Incredible acting on both their parts!!

[tracie]

I would never have known from the chemistry on screen... that's great acting!

[dwight]

It’s very professional for them to only reveal it to us now rather than during the actual show which could’ve jeopardised the tv show in a multitude of ways

[darklina]

"she adores me"
"i'm a leo, i love myself"
we love a humble king

[jenniferr.]

“I adore her and she adores me”
-Paul Wesley

Why did that sound so cute 🤣

[realxyungkid]

Rip Stefan’s hero hair... but I like what he’s done with it now.

[gradybaby_kv]

Paul Wesley doesn’t age at all...
He’s a true Vampire 😂

[Kimberly-lszw]

Nina and Paul despised each other and no one noticed... the tension between Ian and Nina was evident in the finale. Just goes to show Nina wasn’t the one with the problem

[noelleirina]

Nina: We didn't get along.

ET: *They DESPISED each other*

[TB-bvvr]

“She adores me” I see you skipped that piece of humble pie

[chelize]

Paul and Stefan’s voices are soo different😂

[shaunciequinones]

I always thought Nina and Paul had way more chemistry than Nina and Ian, now I know why

[gradybaby_kv]

Hear that everyone
“I talk to her more than the other cast members now” -Paul Wesley
Came right from his mouth they’re closer even than Nina’s ex. #friendshipgoals

Unlike with Ian (in the finale), Paul and Nina never ever showed their "despise" for each other, not in the show, nor during panels etc. Ian, in the end, was straight avoiding the questions whether Nina would return or not. In the finale, delena fans got their last kiss, delena was the only couple alive and got their 'happy (human) end', but *NO DIALOGUE BETWEEN ELENA AND DAMON AT ALL. NOT EVEN A SINGLE WORD.* Meanwhile Stelena got so many emotions, dialogue, a long hug, their first song playing, tears and smiles.. So, what Paul and Nina did is called being professional. 🙏 #Stelena

I preferred him over Damon. Of course Damon had that unrequited love for her and rescued her many times but Stefan was bf material. So caring and sensitive and adored her with every piece of his heart.

[myagraham]

“and now she just adores me and i adore her” MY HEART. EVERYONE NEEDS A BSF LIKE PAUL

[snigdha]

Even after all these years, he’s still a snack

[oni]

He needs more acting roles, their entire cast does, they all have great acting skills

[Lbaikian]

Damon was my favourite character on the show BUT I swear STELENA WAS LIFE

[crusemina]

From Day 1 Stelena had some of the BEST, INTENSE, BEAUTIFUL chemistry in tv/movie/play history. If Paul & Nina truly disliked each other in the beginning then damn their acting skills even more on point.
