In a new interview, The Vampire Diaries‘ showrunner Julie Plec gives some new spoilers for season 4!

Speaking to E! Online, Plec indicates that Bonnie could become the new villain! She explains:

To be truthful, a lot of debates go on in our [writers’] room about whether to take Bonnie to to the dark side and the biggest thing that prevents us from doing that is not wanting to feel like we’re foliowing Willow’s journey [on Buffy the Vampire Slayer]. She’s tapped into some darker stuff… I don’t know which way we’ll go with her in season four. Do you go down a road even though people did it really well, do you really want to do that? Or do you ignore what other people did and do it because it’s right for the character? I’m interested to see where we land on that as writers.

Well, if this does end up happening that’s a big win for the Secret Diaries Chat girls, who totally predicted it!
