INTERVIEW: Katerina Graham (Bonnie) from The Vampire Diaries
Source: The TV Chick

The Vampire Diaries is off to an amazing start to its second season. Any concerns (not from this TV Chick) of a sophomore season slump have been wiped away. There are crazy doppelganger hijinx, proving that Nina Dobrev really can do no wrong, and of course some incredibly sexy vampires and werewolves (I’m looking at you Uncle Mason!) One of the characters that has really come into her own this season is Bonnie. Her witch powers are developing and she isn’t afraid to take on the vampires to protect her loved ones. I recently had the chance to chat with Katerina Graham at New York Comic Con, and she talked about Bonnie’s powers, her motivations and maybe even a possible love interest.

One thing we learned from the panel is that Bonnie’s powers continue to grow. What can you tease about where she’s going to go in the next few episodes?
They develop and there’s a positive to it and a negative to it. So you’ll be able to see both sides of that instead of just kind of this already evolved witch whose evolution kind of came out of nowhere. The five episodes kind of placed her evolution when she was with her family from last season. You get to see her dealing with her growth for the first time, really, which I think is important to see. So the good and the bad, you’ll get to see.

How much does she blame herself for Caroline turning?
I think enough to really make her want to help her and do what she can to make Caroline’s situation better. But at the end of the day, I stand by Bonnie, and her [thinking] “If these vampires hadn’t come to town, my grandma would still be here.” And people think Bonnie makes these decisions knowing the end of the episode — these are characters that have no idea what’s going to happen from the actions that they do. And I think that if Bonnie knew that Caroline was going to become a vampire, I don’t think she would have pressured Damon to give her the blood. But she didn’t know. She had no idea Katherine was going to go in there and do that. She had no idea that Tyler Lockwood was going to get into an accident and crash the car and Caroline would be in the hospital. These characters — people forget that they have no idea what’s going to happen if they do certain actions. So I think she feels — obviously as guilty as you can when you know you made a mistake — but at the same time — she made a mistake but she’s spending more time trying to figure out how do we fix this? How do we make this better?

What motivates Bonnie this season?
Well I think one of the things that motivates Bonnie is compassion. And I think that she’s definitely the most — besides Damon although Damon’s getting a lot more compassion — she’s a very misunderstood character of Mystic Falls. I think she’s probably the most misunderstood character on the show. So, compassion. She really loves Elena. She loves her, [she’s] her best friend. Losing her grandmother — I don’t know how many people are close with their grandmother — but when you don’t have a mother and you only have your grandmother, she becomes your mother figure in your life. So when that got taken away from her, she kind of — loses a lot of that tolerance. I would.

Bonnie is coming across as very powerful right now, especially in that scene with Damon. And Damon sort of let’s her have that power, whereas he might have killed someone else. Are we going to see that backfire?
I think that however that looks, Damon had to protect her because he made a promise. And even in the episode of History Repeating, he mentions to Bonnie at the parking lot of the school that he wants to protect her, believe it or not. And I think it’s important to pay attention to that. But I think they’re going to go at it — again. But I also think that she’s doing what she came to do. She wouldn’t let him know that she’s weak in any way, even if she was weak, she’s not going to let Damon know that she’s got any weaknesses, because he’ll use it against her. People forget that he tried to kill her. He went for her throat, while she was being possessed. He took me out, or tried to, and vice versa. We’re going to keep going at it.

In more ways than one?
In more ways than — hey!! (laughs)

There are a lot of Bonnie and Damon fans out there…
Yeah, and Julie [Plec] has a great line that she wrote in one of the episodes for Katherine and Stefan where Stefan was like “But I hate you!” and Katherine was like “Well that sounds like the beginning of a love story, not the end of one.” So we’ll see. I know the fans really, really love it. So maybe eventually. We’ll see. I love doing scenes with Ian, though. He’s so fun and creative.

Will Bonnie ever get a love interest?
Yeah.

But Bonnie does tackle Mason in an upcoming episode. She sort of does a vampire mind meld on him. How does that relationship come about?
Well basically, you guys have to watch the episode to see how much Mason was involved and what he does. But if Bonnie’s taking him down, it’s got to be for some reason. He did something wrong. I can’t say what he did.

How important is the fan reaction to the show?
Oh, I live by the fans. They know that though. A lot of them in there probably know me. We’ve probably all gone to dinner. I’m really close with them. I scour the forums and blogs and obsess over what they say.

One thing I wondered about Bonnie — has she come into her powers on her own? Or was there something with the grandma passing — did the powers pass on to her? Or did she learn them from someone we haven’t met yet?
That’s a great question. That’s kind of in the Bonnie development thing that’s probably in line with the other developing things. We’ll see. That’s a Kevin question. I’m just the actor. But I definitely think a lot of Bonnie’s stuff is instinctual. She can feel things, that’s just a part of who she is, and it comes from a very organic place right now.

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursday nights at 8 pm on the CW.

Major Vampire Diaries Scoop: What is Katherine’s Master Plan?
Source: Philly Burbs

The cast of “The Vampire Diaries” – Katerina Graham (Bonnie Bennett), Steven R. McQueen (Jeremy Gilbert), Sara Canning (Jenna Sommers) and Zach Roerig (Matt Donovan) – as well as executive producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec made an appearance at New York’s Comic Con earlier this month.

I was lucky enough to sit in on a panel discussion where the cast and producers answered questions about the show and the new season.

“The Vampire Diaries” TV show, which airs Thursday at 8 p.m. on The CW network, is based on the series of books by L.J. Smith.

“We used the book to set up the first episode,” Williamson said. “A lot of the time, we take parts from the book and include it in the show, but we are a room full of writers + and we always change up ideas.”

Plec added that, at this point, the TV show is “very loosely based on the books.”

Williamson hinted at some of the twists viewers can expect.

“This season in Mystic Falls, the past is coming back for something, though it is not clear for what yet,” he said. “Katherine, Elena’s look-alike, is back. We have not seen the worst of Katherine yet. Next week’s episode (which airs tonight) will be a game-changer.

“You can expect Katherine to be around for a very long time, until she’s just not anymore. She is a very delicious character and I want her mystique to remain, but at the same time, I do not want her in every scene.”

Plec added that “Katherine will come in contact with other characters, like Jeremy Gilbert. The two characters will have a major face-off.”

Speaking of Gilbert, McQueen’s thoughts on playing Jeremy are that “he was meant to go through a lot of loss. He lost his parents and lost his love interests Vicky and Anna. He kind of mans up.

“Jeremy must embrace his destiny, rather than relying on what most teenagers go through, like in school,” says McQueen. “My character has just stayed away from that.”

When asked what he likes about his character, he responded: “I like the fact that Jeremy has some mental issues – because he has some screws loose – and that just makes him a more interesting character to play.”

From last season, we know Elena and Jeremy’s Aunt Jenna used to have a wild-party side. Canning, who plays the character, shared that “some of Jenna’s past will be revealed. She has a skeleton in her closet that we are soon to find out about.”

Canning said that what is so great about playing Jenna is that she is the only person in the cast who doesn’t know what’s going on (referring to not knowing there are vampires around).

“Jenna will always have a really cool aura of mystery around her,” Canning said. “We don’t really ever know what is going on with her.”

When asked about what will happen if she finds out the truth about Mystic Falls, Canning responded: “I am really interested to see how she will deal with all of it. Jenna is so liberal and open-minded, but I don’t know how she is going to deal with finding out that her boyfriend knows her niece is dating a vampire.”

Vampires aren’t the only inhabitants in the town of Mystic Falls. Witches also live among them, including Bonnie Bennett.

“Bonnie has a lot of power. Her power is measured by how much she cares about her best friend (Elena),” said Graham, who portrays her. “She will do whatever she can to protect the people she loves. Bonnie is capable of anything.”

Graham said her character “isn’t cruel. She is just confused, scared and very strong, and always willing to call Damon out on his mistakes.”

Producer Plec hinted that Bonnie’s future may include an encounter in a love triangle involving someone she knows and a new character.

Matt Donovan is one of the few human characters on the show and your typical boy-next-door.

So what’s it like to live in a world of vampires, werewolves and witches?

“My character Matt has no idea what’s going on,” Roerig joked. “He’s busy busing tables and eating Easy Mac and canned peas. But it is interesting to play him.”

Last season, Matt was in a relationship with Elena.

“Matt’s over Elena, but probably wouldn’t mind getting her back,” Roerig said.

And what about the future of Elena and Stefan?

Plec confirmed “their relationship as of the moment is very strong. Their relationship is like a monogamy commitment. It’s kind of cheesy, but I think it’s very beautiful and special.

“It will not last long, though. Katherine is messing with both of their minds, and we are going to see cracks in their relationship.”

As for Damon, “although he has been hurt by the fact that Elena rejected him, he will get over it soon enough,” Plec said. “You don’t always end up with your soul mate. These characters must find their souls first – and then find their mates.”

So what happens next? Tune in to The CW Thursday nights at 8 to find out!
