Here's the first look at season 7 of The Vampire Diaries




And Inside Scoop

Question: Can we expect a major “Steroline” kiss in the Vampire Diaries season premiere? I need it. – Kayla
Ausiello: You might want to sit down for this one, Kayla: Paul Wesley couldn’t quite recall what goes down in the premiere — they’re a few episodes into Season 7 right now — but when we asked him about Stefan’s kissing agenda with Caroline, he did drop this bombshell: “I’ll be lip-locking with more than one woman.”

When to Watch: Thursday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m.
What to Expect: After six seasons of romance, The Vampire Diaries is focusing on the love between the Salvatore brothers for season seven and we could not be more into this idea! "That's the central relationship at the heart of our show so we figured it's about time we showed that," executive producer Julie Plec says. "We'll see how the brothers deal with each other without Elena between them, how they feel about their mother Lily, and we're going to get back to the season one Damon we all fell in love with."

A series of brief three-year flash-forwards will lead to an overarching mystery in Season 7, while simultaneously revealing unexpected futures for Mystic Falls' finest. One such reveal is a new (yet familiar) man for Bonnie, which executive producer Julie Plec says "will make a lot of sense" (despite the relationship seemingly coming "out of nowhere"). In the present day, Lily (pictured) and her "family" of Heretics will paint the town (blood) red, forcing both Matt and Enzo to decide once and for all what kind of people they're "willing to be surrounded by." Following the losses of their lovers, albeit temporarily in one case, Damon and Alaric will find themselves "back on the bourbon wagon" with Bonnie tagging along as their "uninvited chaperone." And Caroline and Stefan's relationship will remain "one of the bigger surprises of the season," as she continues to weigh her feelings for him against her need to regain her sense of self.

BONUS SPOILER!: Expect a major curveball for Stefan and Caroline around Episode 6.




It all sounds pretty good to me so far, especially Lily's role, the time-jumps, the Steroline, and the focus on the Salvatore's relationship! My only slight disappointment is that some of the Heretics seem so young and CW'ish in the promo pics, last season I'd always pictured them as being closer to Lily's age... Oh well, I'll see how they come across anyway. And hmm if Bonnie is being paired with someone that we already know, I guess that the only options are Matt (seems unlikely?), Enzo, or Alaric? I'm betting that it will either be Enzo or Alaric in an attempt to give them more to do, Matt seems to have a semblance of a plot this year for once with his new thing of being a cop and turning against vampires, although I suppose that Enzo has more to do now as well that his storyline has tied in with Lily's...Urgh I only hope they don't go with Alaric/Bonnie, I know there are bigger age gaps in TVD, but it would just feel wrong

Not really sure what to think, but I do hope not only "Dalaric" but also "Denzo" will be back to some extent. I mean, Enzo was supposed to be Damon's first real friend and then they completely dismissed their friendship in Season 6 and they didn't really have any scenes together... and they made Enzo pretty useless. Hopefully that's gonna change.

And hmm if Bonnie is being paired with someone that we already know, I guess that the only options are Matt (seems unlikely?), Enzo, or Alaric?

My first guess was actually Enzo, but then I thought that Bonnie would never ever - not in a million years - hook up with a Vampire. And if she ever did, it would probably be a vampire she likes, like Damon. I don't think she'd EVER touch Enzo at all... but who knows? By now I rather think it's Matt as he didn't have a girlfriend for a while and I don't think Ric really has "love" on his mind after everything that happened...

Although of course with the time-jump(s) they could probably make it work...

Hmm I'm not sure about Damon's friendship with Enzo getting any focus, Damon and Alaric will find themselves "back on the bourbon wagon" with Bonnie tagging along as their "uninvited chaperone" makes it sound like the writers are more interested in exploring the Damom/Alaric friendship? Enzo was starting to work more with Lily last season, so I'm guessing the writers will be continuing that instead for his main story, and that's inevitably not going to leave him on great terms with Damon and Stefan

And it could be Matt I suppose, but I don't see them being a very dynamic couple together tbh, I get the feeling that the writers would rather pair Bonnie off with a ~bad boy~ character like Enzo and create sparks that way, that's usually more their thing. My best guess is that it's going to be Enzo, but I agree that it doesn't seem very in character for Bonnie...I can't really picture her with any of the current male regulars at the moment, although I wouldn't be averse to them doing Bamon actually. It's probably a bit too soon for that though :P
