paul wesley nina dobrev feud
Definition
A popular piece of internet conjecture or fan-driven narrative suggesting an adversarial relationship between actors Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev, who starred as iconic love interests Stefan Salvatore and Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries.
A legendary example of 'enemies to lovers' trope manifesting in real-life media discourse, despite the actors having consistently maintained that they were 'despising' each other for a brief period before becoming close friends.
Examples
The internet remains convinced there was an epic, Shakespearean-level feud between Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev, blissfully ignoring the thousands of behind-the-scenes photos of them laughing together.
If Paul and Nina's supposed feud was real, it was truly the most productive hate-mance in CW history.
I hold onto the hope that their early on-set tension was just them method acting their way through the first half of season one.
