Since Silas, Amara, and Qetsiyah did a whole homicide suicide thing, there has been a question as to who would be the next big bad on The Vampire Diaries. In an interview, Kat Graham hinted that the next antagonist is some one we have seen before. Theories have flown back and forth from Bonnie to even Elena's dad! While Grayson Gilbert would be an awesome twist, we may find out the answer to our burning questions sooner rather than later.
Always once one problem ends and our heroes are lured into a false sense of security, another problem hurtles itself into the aftermath. Now that Silas is gone and Bonnie is back with the living, our gang feels they can get their lives back on the weird track. However… as with all damn spells and major death, there's a HUGE consequence. Bonnie will discover that being the anchor is a real pain. Every supernatural being that dies has to pass through Bonnie, which causes her an immense amount of pain. No wonder Amara went insane! And then there's Stefan. He killed Silas, but his painful memories are flashing back tormenting him. Yet Stefan's PTSD aside, he's not a candidate for the new villain.
Bonnie, I feel could be a candidate mostly because… well the best villains are whiney teenagers. Bonnie has always gone back and forth on the rules of being a witch. She's that lawyer always searching for that one loophole that will unravel the whole contract. She may now cause chaos in order to stop her pain from being the anchor to the Other Side. Not sure exactly what she'll do but we'll have to wait and see.
Now for the strongest candidates: Dr. Wes Maxfield has proven that when it comes to scientific discovery, he's not afraid to become a cold and calculating guy. He not only killed Jesse to turn him but then he started doing experiments on him and he wasn't at all phased by Jesse's pleas. Maxfield even spoke into his recorder with indifference like Jesse wasn't even there! That's cold! However, that doesn't make him a villain. He's just a terrible person. So despite his arrogant dick-ishness, Maxfield doesn't really scream villain. Which brings us now to Aaron.
The best thing about Aaron is that he's the last person you'd expect to be a sociopath that tortures everybody. He seems just like any other normal yet morose young adult that has demons. However, there's just something about him that makes me wonder… What is he hiding? Could he be the Augustine Vampire? But wait Elena compelled him. Maybe Aaron was playing along. Possible. Aaron also has an interest in Elena. She's a pretty girl and every guy either wants to kill her or have sex with her. There's also another theory floating around that Aaron is Grayson's illegitimate son, which makes him Jeremy's half-brother and Elena's cousin. So that could be another reason Aaron is interested.
So now the final candidate may be Elena's father. I know it sounds like a stretch but come on… if there's a will there's a supernatural way to bring someone back from the dead. Also Maxfield said that the Augustine Vampire had abnormal blood. It's vampire blood, how much more abnormal can it get? I heard that a future episode is titled "Fifty Shades of Grayson", which gives me a clue as to if he is alive or not. If he is I doubt he'd be happy to find that not only has Elena been sleeping with vampires but she's become one herself! But he probably won't kill her; like Liz and Bill, Grayson may accept who Elena is, but that doesn't mean that he'll approve of her undead yet sexy boyfriend. If the new villain turns out to be Grayson then he'll still work out a way to cause chaos and mayhem for our Salvatore boys.
Well those are the candidates. Like I said, we may find out who the new big bad is sooner rather than later. I leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions.
