Nina Dobrev shares behind-the-scenes photos to celebrate TVD’s 10 year anniversary

It's officially been 10 years since The Vampire Diaries first premiered.

And Nina Dobrev took to Instagram on Tuesday to mark the occasion - and share a few TVD throwbacks, too. "10 years since TVD," she wrote alongside a promotional photo of her, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. And it seems the photo led to a few questions from Wesley, who played Stefan Salvatore for all of The Vampire Diaries' seven seasons. "Why have I never seen this photo and why are we sitting in scattered debris/ what’s up with Ian’s pose," he wrote underneath the photo. Other posts from Dobrev included behind-the-scenes shots from her time on the show - and another photo of herself, Somerhalder and Wesley. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Dobrev thanked the fans for all of their support over the years - and admitted it was "bittersweet" to be marking the anniversary. She wrote:

"10 years ago today, this little show called Vampire Diaries premiered for the first time ever. And it changed our lives forever. "Love bites, but so does finding out it's been a decade since this show aired "Thank you to all of our incredible fans who followed us along this journey and continue to follow us on our new adventures and beyond. "Gratitude and love to each and every one of you. It's bittersweet."
