Summary
Two actors fromThe Vampire Diariesreunite in a new photo seven years after The CW show ended. The supernatural saga had a reasonably large ensemble, especially when including the bevy of recurring guest stars that joined each season. But almost a decade after it wrapped up, the drama is often remembered for the initial central love triangle between Stefan, Elena, and Damon rather than its later attempts to expand the depth of relationships betweenThe Vampire Diaries' cast of characters.
Kat Graham, who plays Bonnie Bennett, shares aphoto where she reunites with Paul Wesley, who plays Stefan.

Gharam has red hair in the post, included above, with her arm aroundStrange New Worlds' actor Wesley. The caption reads: “See how Paul and I pose? Very mindful. Very demure.”
Stefan & Bonnie’s Relationship Is An Example Of What Makes Late Vampire Diaries Different
Their Relationship Was Fleshed Out By The End
The Vampire Diariesmay be defined by the romance between Nina Dobrev’s Elena Gilbert, Ian Somehalder’s Damon Salvatore, and Stefan. But whenElena was written off inThe Vampire Diariesseason 6, it put the series in a position where it had to explore the dynamics between pairings that shared relatively few meaningful scenes together up to that point. That includes Bonnie and Stefan.
The Vampire Diariesis based on the novels by L.J. Smith.
Their relationship, prior to Elena being written off,could generally be described as friendly. But like a lot of teen dramas, The CW series was mostly focused on advancing its various romantic relationships and was less invested in highlighting the different friendships that existed within the main group. There were times when they were supportive of each other and other times when they were antagonistic. But these were generally kept to the margins of the series.
A Spinoff About Bonnie & The Bennett Witches Is The Best TVD Future
With Legacies having ended this year, the best hope to keep The Vampire Diaries universe alive is a spinoff about Bonnie and the Bennett witches.
That changes in thefinal season ofThe Vampire Diariesespecially, as Bonnie and Stefan begin to work together more directly. That friendship is also strained and permanently damaged by an act that Stefan commits. Bonnie can’t quite bring herself to forgive Stefan for it. But even that tension allows for Graham and Wesley to showcase more of their on-screen chemistry, which the popular series generally underutilized.
