The CWBonnie Bennett (Kat Graham) has been through a lot on The Vampire Diaries—after all, she's died like five times already. But this time it's pretty serious—the Bennett witch had been ingesting the blood of a powerful vampire hunter to suppress her magic, and unbeknownst to her it had deadly side effects. Luckily the group banded together to save her—but in exchange, she was imbued with a bloodlust to eradicate all vampires from the Earth.
Yes, even all her friends. This week, the whole gang bands together to find a way for Bonnie to live without the unquenchable thirst to murder them all. Enzo (Michael Malarkey) will stand by as his love fights for her life, while Damon (Ian Somerhalder) deals with the consequences of the risky plan he put into action last week (and put everyone in this predicament).
Graham is a busy lady, but she made time this week to answer a few questions about tonight's Bonnie-centric episode that E! News sent her. Yes, she's just as wary of magically sealed vaults as she should be. Did these people learn nothing from season one?! And yes, we should definitely worry about Vampire Hunter Bonnie accidentally killing someone we (and she) love.
E! News: How's the gang going to save her this time? Usually she is the one who saves everybody after they screw it all up, so will she have to clean up the mess this time too?
Kat Graham: Each character will be doing their part to try and save themselves as well as save Bonnie. They will stop at nothing to try and salvage what is left of their friend.
Honestly, don't these people know by now that opening magically sealed vaults is a terrible idea?
Pretty sure Bonnie should know by now.
Bonnie obviously has very deep feelings for both Damon and Enzo (not necessarily romantic), and they for her. How will those feelings come into play when she's trying to kill them both?
There are all sorts of layers that [acting coach] Ivana Chubbuck and I added when we were doing prep work for the dynamic between both of these characters. You will see all of it come through as you can't have hate without love.
Should we worry about Bonnie killing people we love in Friday's episode?!
Absolutely.
What are your thoughts about Bonnie's love life? Who do you like her with?
What love life? Just kidding. I'd like to see Bonnie with different characters, there's something special about how they write her with different characters that make each dynamic so special.
When we spoke to Ian recently, he said he was excited for season 8 to get back to basics and focus on the original crew. Are you excited for that as well?
I don't know what's in store for season eight or what the writers have planned so I can't comment on that. I am excited to work with Ian and the rest of the cast and amazing crew on what I feel will be the show's most epic season.
The Vampire Diaries airs Fridays at 8 p.m. on the CW.
