'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8 News & Update: Nina Dobrev Gets Help From New Heroine To Save Damon Salvatore, Enzo St John, Bonnie Bennett?

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 has a lot riding on Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) if Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder), Enzo St John (Michael Malarkey) and Bonnie Bennett (Kat Graham) are to be saved, luckily The CW sends help. In "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8, The CW send fresh blood "Originals" actress Kristen Gutoskie as a new heroine that lends a hand to the victims of the Nameless Evil.

Deadline Hollywood reports that "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will present Kristen Gutoskie will play the mysterious nanny Seline. Very quickly, fans will discover that the presence of Seline in "The Vampire Diaries" is not a coincidence.

TV Fanatic points out that "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will give nanny Seline charge over Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis) and Caroline Forbes' (Candice King) young children. Seline will feel an extraordinary bond with the children and "The Vampire Diaries" will expose the true nature of this bond.

The bond will make a heroine of Seline while Alaric Saltzman, Caroline Forbes and Stefan (Paul Wesley) scramble to save Damon Salvatore, Enzo St John and Bonnie Bennett from the aftermath of the "TVD" Season 7 finale. "The Vampire Diaries" fans are counting on Nina Dobrev to awaken as Elena Gilbert to save her lover and friends.

In the meantime, Bonnie Bennett has the important task of restoring Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert at the expense of her life in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. Although Kat Graham's departure has Bonnie Bennett automatically tagged dead when "The Vampire Diaries" ends in S8, Seline may very possibly change that dynamics.

Seline being bonded to the Saltzmans indicates an interesting backstory for this addition to "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. Her defense of the Saltzmans will presumably see "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 reveal powers that Seline hides.

At best, having Seline join the motley crew at "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 premiere (TBA) is a comforting thought that Nina Dobrev and Kat Graham might not have to have a sacrificial end to help Damon Salvatore and Bonnie Bennett. Possibly, too, "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will see Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and even Kat Graham take Elena, Damon and Bonnie all the way to S9.
