Dobrev and Wesley played Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore on "The Vampire Diaries." Their characters had an on-screen on and off romance that fans dubbed as StElena.
Ian Somerhalder, who played Damon Salvatore, complicated the relationship when his character also became romantically involved with Elena. The rivalry between Stefan and Damon over Elena's heart became one of the driving plot points of the show.
Dobrev left the series in its final year but she briefly made a guest appearance in the series finale last March. In the end, her character found her happy ending with Damon.
"I am satisfied with the way the shows ends -- the fact that Elena finds peace and becomes human, which is what she always wanted," the actress told Entertainment Weekly. "She gets to be with the man that she loves, which is what she always wanted."
Meanwhile, Dobrev turned to movie projects since leaving "The Vampire Diaries." She starred in the "Flatliners" reboot and worked on films like "Dog Days," "Lucky Day" and "Departures."
Wesley, on the other hand, is filming a TV movie for release in 2018. "Fabled" also stars Zosia Mamet, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Norbert Leo Butz.
"The Vampire Diaries" ran on The CW from 2009 to 2017. Along with Dobrev, Wesley, and Somerhalder, the show originally included cast members like Candice King, Kat Graham, Matt Donovan, Michael Trevino, Matt Davis and Steven R. McQueen.
