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 catastrophe.

The actresses were speaking on a panel at Epic Con's I Was Feeling Festive convention in Covington, Georgia.

Ironically, the trio were talking about the various injuries and accidents that occurred on the set of the Vampire Diaries when the backdrop started to collapse and almost fell on top of Nina, 35.

The newly engaged actress' co-stars jumped into action and got Nina out of the way of the backdrop before it fell on her. 

What is eerie about the near miss is that Kat and Candice's characters on the long running series were always protecting Nina's character from accidents.

At first, Nina removed her long, black coat, thinking that a spider was on her back. But as soon as she realized what was actually happening, she moved out of the way quickly. 

'Decades later and they are still protecting Elena,' a fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 

Another added: 'elena getting saved by caroline and bonnie... just like old times.'

The near miss comes after Nina was in a bad e-bike accident, in May, in which she she tore her ACL and meniscus and fractured her shin and knee joint.

But even the mishap at the convention couldn't dull the glow Nina had during the event.

In addition to thriving professionally, she and her longtime boyfriend Olympic snowboard champion Shaun White, 38, recently got engaged. 

Earlier this month, Shaun shared a video of his sweet proposal to his longtime love on Instagram.

''Still floating after this night! I’m beside myself to be with this amazing woman and to be joining her beautiful family!!' he captioned footage of the romantic moment. 

The gushing note continued, 'Our quarantine romance turned into this beautiful relationship and now a forever love.'

In the recording, White told Dobrev he loves her as the dreamy Cigarettes After Sex song, Apocalypse, played softly in the background.

Shaun wrote elsewhere in his caption, 'Believe me when I say that this app mostly shows us at our best.

'Behind the curtain like any relationship, we’ve had our struggles. But it’s our ability to communicate and repair that keeps us moving forward together.'

He expressed, 'I’m so thankful for the life lessons, gratitude, adventure and love that Nina has taught me, and I only wish to show her the same in return. 

'I guess we are doing the dam thing, baby!,' he excitedly wrote.
