Well there was Damon, and that was literally it which explains why they spectacularly terrible at it because he’s easily distracted by Elena.
Although that does bring up another weird note–when Bonnie is dying or dead it’s always up to Damon to save her first in S2, second in S5, then in seasons 6-8. While that would put a point in Bamon’s favor I think the fact that they keep putting the most unreliable character who gets so easily distracted by Elena speaks more about how much the writers value Bonnie.
Pretty much in every situation they have to make it known that she isn’t valued over Elena and the coffin spell pretty much seals that to the point that denial or ignorance can no longer be used as an excuse on Plec’s part. She feels threatened by Bonnie Bennett’s ability to outshine her main (white) character so she has to spend extra time finding ways to devalue her.
The weird thing about this is that Plec did this to herself. If she wanted Esther, Hope, Freya, Dahlia, white witch, etc. to be the most powerful witches in the universe she should have done exactly that. Instead she chose the negation route which isn’t surprising since they’ve been doing that since S1–handmaiden my ass.

“Where is Nora?!”
“Relax, your poisonous girlfriend is alright…for about 15 mins or is it 5? Sorry my mind is a bit mixed up after that beating. By the way, I can’t tell what’s worse you betraying me to Batman or that jokester of a boyfriend?”
“Mal…I’m sorry for betraying but me and Damon, it’s…it’s-“
Can’t say I’m surprised I always knew they were going to try and erase everything the Bennett’s did. How else would their white witch messiah characters seem impressive?
He doesn’t know when it started but he knew it had to do with Bonnie Bennett. She saw right through him at the support group meetings, but then again, it takes one to know one–he just wished she didn’t disrupt his sleep–he has terrible insomnia.Â
That’s when he met Malachai Parker.
He looked how he wanted to look. He fucked like he wanted to fuck. He was smart, capable, and most importantly, he was free in all the ways that he wasn’t. It wasn’t long before he realized who Malachai truly was.
