'The Vampire Diaries' Season 7 Cast News: Leslie-Anne Huff Joins as Vampire-Hunter
The next episode of the hit series "The Vampire Diaries" is expected to introduce a new character to the season.
It was reported that actress of the series "NCIS," Leslie-Anne Huff, will be taking on the role of Rayna. As reported by TV Line, her character is a vampire hunter who will cause many problems for the citizens on Mystic Falls.
Her character was described as smart, fierce, and driven, which means that she will do her best to take down those who get in the way of the goal. However, it was not yet revealed whether she will be on the opposing side.
The announcement of her appearance in the series had fans talking about how the actress looks a lot like Nina Dobrev, who recently left the series. Fans are wondering whether she was added to the series to replace the show's previous lead character.
With that, there are speculations that Rayna will be the romance interest of Damon, played by Ian Somerhalder. Previous reports had teased that it was Bonnie, played by Kat Graham, who will be his love interest. However, the previous episode revealed that Bonnie was going to end up with Enzo, played by Michael Malarkey.
Because of that, there is a possibility that Rayna will enter the story to steal the heart of Damon, who was the love interest of Elena Gilbert, the character played by Dobrev.
Another relationship that the season is expected to explore is between Stefan, played by Paul Wesley, and Caroline, played by Candice Accola-King. The previous episode showed that the couple will break up in a matter of three years. It was teased that the breakup was caused by Stefan's ex-girlfriend, Valerie, played by Elizabeth Blackmore. With that, it can be speculated that the season will show how the end of their relationship came to be.
"The Vampire Diaries" season 7 airs on The CW every Thursday.
