Kevin Williamson Reveals The Secret Behind Bonnie's Death And Katherine's Extended Stay

Creator and EP of The Vampire Diaries Kevin Williamson spoiled to THR about how Bonnie's death came about. He explains that initially it was going to be a much more profound shock for the audience, but because of TVD's ever evolving storylines the scenario changed by the time it was all said and done.

"Originally we had planned to kill [Bonnie] for four episodes and let Elena be the one who hid her away, and surprise everyone with it," Williamson says. "But we said, 'The audience would hate us. They'll never forgive us.' Then we thought we could do this for one episode and bring her back next week. Then we thought no, better to do it at the end of the commercial break. We finally came down to a commercial break was all we could get away with."

Williamson also dished about the surprising presence of Katherine in season 2.

"I said, 'We can only bring Katherine in once or twice.' We had written the first episode and we were down on set watching Miss Nina portray her in that little black outfit and slink her way to set. I said, 'OK, we might need to rethink this,'" He explained, "Katherine took over, we recreated the storyline. She was always supposed to be the puppeteer and the mastermind off-camera, and we brought it on-camera. It gave us another true villain and for Damon another adversary."

Personally, I think it's pure genius how the TVD writers continually crank out superb television with twists and turns that would make the windiest country road jealous.
What are your thoughts? Can they top the season 1 finale? I think so ;)

Klaus is not the only supernatural baddy to hit Mystic Falls tonight on an all new Vampire Diaries. Hollywood Life reports that the sassy, thrill~seeking Greta Martin~Lisa Tucker will be making her witchy debut as well. Tucker doesn't say whose side she'll ultimately land on, but she promises that she will take part in her fair share of fighting in the final four episodes of The Vampire Diaries. Here's what she had to say about Greta's role in the Doppelganger hijinks mayhem.

“Greta isn’t too pleased when she discovers her father and brother both died at the hands of Mystic Falls vampires. She is not someone you want to mess with. A lot of the witches on the show follow tradition very closely, but Greta’s definitely her own witch. She’s very powerful.”

The Vampire Diaries Episode 2.22 "As I Lay Dying" First Look

Well, thanks to TV Guide we have our first look at The Vampire Diaries season finale ominously titled, "As I lay Dying". It's movie night in Mystic Falls and there's a Gone With The Wind screening going on in the town's square. Damon is seeking forgiveness from Elena for something he's done and struggles to keep the past in the past, reliving his past mistakes with Katherine.

The fire in the background is defintely from the movie; I'm sure it's the scene where Sherman's army is burning their way through Atlanta and Rhett helps Scarlett escape. What's going on with Damon and Elena? Is he confusing Elena for Katherine? Is he going to finally embrace her for a passionate Delena kiss? Will he bite her because he's delirious from a werewolf bite? Your guess is as good as mine, but I want to hear yours so sound off in the comments!!
