Vampire Diaries Casts Heretic Trio in Season 7, Including Same-Sex Couple 

Say hello to the women who are going to make the Salvatores’ lives even more of a living hell on

@ Comic-Con: ‘Naughty’ Damon, Steroline ‘Twists’ and More to Come in Season 7

Last month, TVLine revealed that a trio of terrors was coming to Mystic Falls, and now — per our sister publication 

) will play heretics Nora and Mary Louise, the show’s first same-sex couple. Both women are extremely powerful and fiercely protective of one another — a lethal combination for anyone who might decide to cross them.

Of course, it sounds like neither of them can hold a candle to Valerie, played by Elizabeth Blackmore (

). Despite being a member of Lily’s “family,” she’s having none of Mama Salvatore’s peaceful approach to change, largely because of the struggles she’s faced in her own life.

…they’ll be introduced, then killed off as quickly as they came in…meh! not bothered either way

Ugh. Can they please add some diversity to this show??
