Last week, prior to The Vampire Diaries season premiere, Katerina Graham spoke to TV Fanatic about what lies ahead for her character of Bonnie.

Clearly stronger and more in control of her powers than she was a year ago, Elena's BFF has a serious feud with Damon going on. Where will it take her? Graham dished on that question, and many others, in a recent TV Guide interview. Excerpts follow...

On the friendship between Bonnie and Elena: I don't think the relationship with Bonnie and Elena will ever go back to the way it was. I think they can be friends and they can still be close, [but] it's different. We all have those friends we have serious problems with, but you know they would die for you.

On Bonnie's interaction with Damon on the second episode: She will do something unthinkable.

On the new Caroline: Caroline's always been the chatty, blonde, silly frenemy, and now that that's changed. It's left them all in a vulnerable place, especially Caroline. Bonnie wouldn't ever just cut anyone off for no reason. If they were really not going to be friends anymore, it would have to be because of something Caroline did. No matter what Caroline is, it would have to be something awful. Other than that, Bonnie is pretty accepting of the fact that her friends are a little different. I think Elena choosing a vampire is just as strange as Bonnie being a witch, personally.

On a future love interest: Hopefully she'll have a deep connection with a guy, because right now she doesn't really have a connection with any of the guys on the show. The biggest connection she has is with Damon - and it's not a positive one.
