Moment Nina Dobrev is saved by Vampire Diaries co-stars from falling backdrop at Epic Con
A Vampires Diaries reunion between Nina Dobrev, Kat Graham and Candice King almost turned into a disaster.
The actresses spoke on a panel at Epic Con’s I Was Feeling Festive convention in Covington, Georgia.
Ironically, the trio was discussing the various injuries and accidents that occurred on the set of Vampire Diaries when the backdrop began to collapse and almost fell on top of Nina, 35.
The newly engaged actress’ co-stars sprang into action and made sure the background was out of Nina’s way before it fell on her.
What’s creepy about the near miss is that Kat and Candice’s characters on the long-running series always protected Nina’s character from accidents.
First Nina took off her long black coat, thinking there was a spider on her back. But as soon as she realized what was really going on, she quickly moved aside.

“Decades later, they’re still protecting Elena,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another added: “Elena gets saved by Caroline and Bonnie… just like old times.”
The near miss comes after Nina had a serious e-bike accident in May, in which she tore her cruciate ligament and meniscus and broke her tibia and knee joint.
But even the accident at the convention couldn’t dim the glow Nina had during the event.
In addition to thriving professionally, she and her longtime boyfriend, Olympic snowboarding champion Shaun White, 38, recently got engaged.
Earlier this month, Shaun shared a video of his sweet proposal to his longtime love on Instagram.
”She’s still floating after this night! I am beside myself to be with this amazing woman and join her beautiful family!!” he captioned footage of the romantic moment.
The gushing note continued, “Our quarantine romance turned into this beautiful relationship and now into everlasting love.”
In the recording, White told Dobrev he loves her as the dreamy Cigarettes After Sex song, Apocalypse, played softly in the background.

Elsewhere, Shaun wrote in his caption: ‘Believe me when I say that this app above all shows us at our best.
‘Behind the curtain, like in any relationship, we’ve had our problems. But it is our ability to communicate and repair that keeps us moving forward together.”
He said, “I am so grateful for the life lessons, gratitude, adventure and love that Nina has taught me, and I just want to show her the same in return.
“I think we’re fucking busy, baby!” he wrote excitedly.
