'How to Get Away With Murder' Season 2 News, Cast, Spoilers: Can Bonnie and Annalise's Relationship Be Saved?
It seems that bridges are getting burned as the events in the current season of "How to Get Away With Murder" are getting more intense each day. With the pressure getting heavier in each episode for Annalise, her relationship with the people around her may be ultimately falling apart, including one of the most loyal persons in her life, Bonnie.
As many fans are already aware, the relationship of the two hit rocky grounds at the end of season 1 as Bonnie was kept out of the murder of Sam. Although Bonnie tried to do her best to get back into Annalise's graces, Annalise stayed distant, presumably to keep Bonnie from getting involved. However, with the closeness the two had shared over the years, the situation made Bonnie feel rejected instead. Now the final straw for Bonnie came when she thought she was a card that Annalise had simply traded. This triggered an emotional outburst for Bonnie who blatantly stated that she would have rather had Annalise die than Sam.
Showrunner Pete Nowalk talks to TV Line about Annalise's take on the people around her, "People may not understand this, but Annalise has these deep relationships with people where there's obviously angst, but also a really deep well of emotion." He then shares more about Annalise's emotional state over Bonnie's declaration, "Bonnie and she have all this history, and this real muck together that bonds them. They really identify with each other and that's why they're so twistedly bonded. Annalise believes she's saved Bonnie — and Bonnie has said that to her, too. They have a shared history of abuse as children. So here is Annalise thinking, 'After all we've been through, how dare you accuse me of not loving you?'"

As the two characters seem to be reaching an impasse every day, Nowalk doesn't confirm whether the two will finally part ways, "They're in the darkest part of their relationship. They've known each other a long time — we'll [eventually] reveal how long — and for most of their relationship, it was really good. We're meeting them when years and years of resentment, history and baggage are bubbling up to the surface and bursting out of them."
Nowalk also shares that whatever Bonnie and Annalise are going through right now may have been a longtime coming, "I mean, marriages die in a day, so it's certainly possible that their mother-daughter relationship — or whatever you want to call it — could implode in a second."
