Pulling a Nelkin

To replace an actor or actress less than one week before the opening of a show by bringing in a completely new person not involved with the show beforehand. Derived from the French Woods Festival season 2008, where this phrase's namesake was plucked from the ensemble of another show and tossed into a leading role in less than 3 days before opening... twice in the summer.

Nevin

Nevin, the one person you thought you wouldn't fall for but only fell harder after everything. Support from him is like support from a 1000 men. His maturity level is like 10 times the maturity level of anyone his age. And the best part is no matter what he'll never be the one to leave you, caz once you've got him the fear of him leaving you automatically leaves your system. A down to earth person who never wants to see another person sad and especially not when he's the reason. Hard worker, but he doubts his work which might discourage him, but fun fact sometimes he's blind to see that there's someone there always encouraging him even at her very worst. His care can embrace you in a way that all your worries just disappear like magic. He wants to settle down and start a life with peace, and he's capable of doing it as he tries so hard. Many long for his love, waiting for him to open up, but all of this down to one point, That he's a rare gem and If you find one don't let him go, No Earthly treasure is worth his heart.
