THE ORIGINALS’ Phoebe Tonkin: ‘I Think Klaus Resents Hayley A Little Bit’

THE ORIGINALS’ Hayley may be carrying Klaus’ baby, but her real-life portrayer, Phoebe Tonkin has no delusions about the pregnancy bringing the parents-to-be closer anytime soon.

“I think Klaus resents Hayley a little bit,” Tonkin told reporters at Comic-Con. “They didn’t plan on this going any further than a one night stand, and now they’re facing the consequence of that.”

Take a look at what else Tonkin had to say about Hayley moving from THE VAMPIRE DIARIES to THE ORIGINALS…

THE ORIGINALS: Joseph Morgan on the ‘Incredibly Rewarding Opportunity’ to Further Explore Klaus

When Joseph Morgan joined THE VAMPIRE DIARIES in its second season, it could have been easy to expect that his character, Klaus, wouldn’t stick around for long: he was a Big Bad on a show that is notorious for offing both good and bad guys. But Klaus — and his Original family — managed to (mostly) survive for more than two full seasons in Mystic Falls before heading out to New Orleans in the upcoming TVD spinoff, THE ORIGINALS.

At Comic-Con, Morgan talked with reporters about the “incredibly rewarding opportunity” to dig deeper into Klaus in the new show…

Julie Plec on Syncing Up THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and THE ORIGINALS, and Retelling THE ORIGINALS’ Backdoor Pilot

THE ORIGINALS may have made its debut as a backdoor pilot during last season of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, but if potential new viewers missed that, the CW series has a creative way of catching everyone up on what went down — the official first episode of THE ORIGINALS will be retelling what happened in “The Originals” episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES from Elijah’s point of view.

“It’s so cool, because it tells you everything that happens when we were watching Klaus do his thing, and meet up with Marcel, and try to get to the bottom of his own mystery [in the backdoor pilot],” THE ORIGINALS/THE VAMPIRE DIARIES executive producer Julie Plec told reporters after the Television Critics Association panel for her new series. “It’s the story of a brother coming into town to try and figure out what happened with his younger, black sheep brother. So he’s kind of playing detective a bit. We get to see scenes that existed in the [backdoor] pilot, but more from Elijah’s point of view. And he believes when he learns of [Hayley’s] pregnancy that it will be that easy to convince his brother to jump on board. So to watch Elijah jump on board and declare how simple it will be, and then to have Klaus reject the baby will be [Elijah’s] powerful moment, as opposed to the pilot where it was Klaus’ powerful moment…and by the last act, we’re moving past that night, and everything we see is new, and it tees up the series.”

Julie Plec on Keeping the Continuity Between THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and THE ORIGINALS

For years, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has played by its own rules, where time didn’t need to necessarily to reflect what was going on in the real world, and they could move through things at their own pace. But now with the addition of the show’s new spinoff, THE ORIGINALS, things will be complicated a bit as the shows have the potential to share characters…and as such both will need to remain close in time so continuity isn’t thrown off-kilter.

At Comic-Con, I asked THE VAMPIRE DIARIES/THE ORIGINALS executive producer Julie Plec about maintaining that delicate balance…

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Julie Plec Teases THE ORIGINALS Backdoor Spinoff, Potential Crossovers, and More

About three and a half months after the idea was first made public, THE ORIGINALS, the backdoor pilot for a potential THE VAMPIRE DIARIES spinoff, is finally airing tomorrow night.

“Klaus has gotten wind of witches in New Orleans making a move against him and of course he doesn’t like that, and is especially paranoid because of all the Silas shenanigans, and so he heads off to get to the bottom of that mystery,” THE VAMPIRE DIARIES executive producer Julie Plec teased of what kicks off the episode. “And Elijah, believing his brother to be up to something, follows him to try and get to the bottom of that mystery. And as the brothers are in New Orleans, we see they have a deep, rich history there. In fact, all the Original family, which at the time was Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, and Kol, lived there off and on for several centuries and were part of the original founders of New Orleans; [they] laid the original bricks of the French Quarter. They have a history there, and as Elijah says at the end of the episode, ‘I can count on one hand the amount of times we were happy as a family and that was one of them.'”

Of course, things aren’t entirely smooth in New Orleans.
