'The Vampire Diaries' season 7 plot news: Bonnie and Damon will become closer

It was revealed that Damon and Bonnie's relationship will see some changes in the upcoming season of "The Vampire Diaries."

Reports stated that Damon will hold resentment toward Bonnie due to the events of the previous season. As shown in season 6, Elena, played by Nina Dobrev, was put into a sleeping spell that will allow Bonnie to live. Damon will have to deal with being away from his love for six decades. Because of that, Damon will constantly blame Bonnie for Elena's sacrifice.

According to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Julie Plec revealed what fans can expect with Bonnie's character for the upcoming season. She said, "She has survivor's remorse. But she doesn't want to be punished for it, either, so she's trying to take a stand against anybody that would make her feel bad that she survived."

However, even though the two have been viewed as enemies in the previous seasons, Damon and Bonnie are expected to become closer in the episodes to come. They will have the opportunity to get to know each other. Bonnie will feel the responsibility of Elena's absence, thus causing her to support Damon through the loss.

Plec explained, "Bonnie has sort of taken it upon herself to be the uninvited chaperone, which is funny because she and Damon have so much unspoken between them — the guilt, the resentments, the gratitude, there's a list of things they're dealing with."

She also added that it will be exciting to see the two develop a strong friendship, despite the many circumstances they face.

A teaser was released, revealing that the season will see several characters dealing with the loss of Elena as they struggle with several vampire-witches. They will also encounter a new threat called Heretics. With that, fans can expect interesting approaches to the series.

The Vampire Diaries season 7 is expected to air this Oct. 8.
