Vampire Diaries Picture Preview: Welcome, Abby Bennett
Bonnie Bennet is living in a dream world these days, seeing coffin-related visions on The Vampire Diaries and wondering what the heck they mean.
On the January 19 episode, "The Ties That Bind," this witch will take a step closer to the answer, while also coming across a rather important individual from her past: her mother!
Persia White makes her first appearance on the installment, showing up as Abby Bennet and interacting with her daughter for the first time in 15 years. What does she have to do with Klaus? Who is Jamie, the young man Abby took in years ago and who is living in her farm house? The answer are over a week ago. But glimpses at this character and this episode are right here, right now:
Before Bonnie says hello to her mom, she'll say goodbye to Jeremy. Watch her learn of Elena's brother for her brother in this Vampire Diaries sneak peek.

Yay Bonnie gets an episode. I think it's great how they started this season. Episode one was more about Elena, then this week's Caroline, now Bonnie. I do wonder wher her mother has been for 15 years though??
Potential love interest for Bonnie now that Jeremy's gone away.. :'( I don't want Beremy to be over!

It has been establish on the show witches don't age like everyone else, they look younger. Besides Persia is 34 and looks damn good for her age. Hell Jasmine Guy looked damned good. Black really don't crack.

With these mysteries coming up, season 3 is becoming more mysterious every episode. Since Bonnie's mother will come to Mystic Falls, who knows how she'll help out Bonnie from her problems. I'm determined to see every twist and turn in every upcoming episodes. =O ;)
