This is a Vampire spin-off from "The Vampire Diaries" based in New Orleans. There are Vampires called "The Originals" - they are vampires that can never be killed or die. They can only be put to "rest" by these special type daggers. Who Klaus (the protagnist) in this show/story are in possession of. There are 7 central characters: Klaus Michaelson (Original Vampire and is related to Elijah and Rebekah) Klaus is a misunderstood character. He is potentially flawed, complex, layered but deep down as the episodes progressed the writers/tptb showed us he feels, loves and wants and craves unconditional love just like everyone else. All be it, he kills and is at times seems to be a "cold blooded killer" this is the essense of who Klaus is. He loves his family above all else, he seems to be incredibly jealous of what his siblings have as far as potential life partners (love), he forever seeks their approval and is destined to go thru life with them and only them. It would be great to see if this "selfish bond" could be broken. It seems that Elijah is trying to redeem his brother thru the birth of his child by teaching him about "unconditional love". Although, I fear in the process, Elijah has fallen victim to "unconditional love" by falling in love with Hayley, the baby's mother. We are seeing a very complex story written out and at the same time with all the speed bumps, it's leaves us wanting more. The writers and tptb are very talented and skilled at this process. They are building up different layers to Klaus' redemption for his child for himself for his family very delicately. I am looking forward to next week's episode. Elijah Michaelson (Original Vampire) - Elijah is a character that was built on intergrity, honor and drop dead gorgeousness. What can be said. Calgon take me away. He promised, his word that no harm would come to Hayley or her baby and he lived up to it and then some! He took out the head witch Angus, who wanted to kill Hayley and her baby. He snapped the bitches head straight off! "Nobody messes with my family!" were his exact words. Elijah Michaelson, you are my bodyguard! He protected Hayley when she was running in the woods from that crazy, blood thristy, vengeful Tyler (Who was after Klaus technically but went after Hayley? Well The tag team of Elijah/Klaus taught him a lesson that day!) He protected her from so many different situations, the wolves in the bayou, the vampires that wanted to kill her because of Marcel. EJijah is Hayley's man thru and thru. I love the way they are building this couple up. How many almost kisses? Rebekah Michaelson (Original Vampire) - Ah my dear Rebekah who is so misunderstood by her brother Klaus. Or maybe not? He just doesn't want her to be happy because he isn't happy. Rebekah was in love with Marcel who was human before coming a vampire. BUT, he was in love with Rebekah for a lontime before that. They danced around there feeling for many years. That was until Marcel grew up. He then started to want to act on those feelings, Rebekah wanted him too also. Elijah was happy for them. (Elijah was not like Klaus in that way, don't ask me why maybe because he had loved?) Anyway, Klaus found out about them and made Marcel decide do you want to kill her or become a vampire? Marcel choose the later. He became a vampire. He broke Rebekah's heart. Klaus staked her and put her to sleep I believe for over 50 years. They don't age they don't die "Originals" they just go to sleep when you stake them. She awoke she Marcel, he walked away. Klaus told her he had to teach her a lesson and that she had been asleep for 50 or 60 something years... FF present day, Marcel and Klaus are aligned "tick as thieves again" only this time, Marcel is the "King of New Orleans", we are yet to finf out why the Michaelson fled New Orleans 100 years ago... Marcel - was a child when taken in by Klaus, he was a slave for a family on an estate close by to theirs, I believe. When Klaus saw Marcel getting beat by the person who was his "owner" (such a degrding term) he interfered, I believe he killed the man; rescued Marcellus (Which meant "Warrior" I believe something like that) because it reminded him of the beating he used to get from there father. Klaus was a "freak of nature" to their father and never accepted by the family (well the father). SO, he endured terrible beating beyond what anyone could compare. He related to Marcellus. He took him in as his own son. A bond was formed. He became part of the family. Hayley -is a werewolf like Klaus but not a hybrid. Hayley is half human, half werewolf, whereas, Klaus is half vampire, half werewolf. They had a one-night stand which resulted in Hayley becoming pregnant with his child. That is pretty much it between those two, there was no relationship, no feelings, nothing between them, just this baby. Whereas, when Hayley came back to town and met Klaus' brother Elijah. The fireworks began! You could feel the sparks, it was kismet. It was like two old souls that were meant too be together. The scenes between them ever since, have been intense, it reminds me of EJami in a way. They have this "intense chemistry", this "presence", this "force", this "push and pull" between them that cannot be ignored. I will post some montages and clips when I'm done explaining the characters. Cami - (Cami is Father Kiernan niece and the sister of the guy who was killed in New Orleans. She was compelled by Klaus in order to protect her from knowing too much about what was really going on in New Orleans with the vampires and werewolves. Who are btw, the 2 warring factions.) The ending of the last episode, Cami starts to remember everything! All the memories that Klaus had compelled her to forget started coming back and she was screaming in pain in the church. This is NOT GOOD YAWL! Davina (Is a powerful young teenage witch being held captive by Marcel until recently, when Elijah promised her protection, freedom and to ability to learn more "powerful spells" from his own mother's grimoire book of spells. Up until this point she was on the vampires side (well she deflected from Marcel's side to Elijah's/Klaus' side because of Elijah and his "honor". As of the last episode we really don't know what happened to her but we think she is with Cami. (NOT GOOD!) Father Kiernan (He hides the vampires secret in town and Cami is his niece. It is to be believed his nephew went "mad" and killed himself. Klaus is investigating this story and Marcel might have more to do with it then he is letting on.) He is apart of a powerful human counsel in town that controls what goes on. Sophie Deveraux (Witch) she started the "Witches Harvest" which brought problems for the witches to be expelled from New Orleans to pratice magic. She was working in tandem with Marcel and also sleeping with him. They were what you call "magical powerful friends with benefits" She is still alive and looking to seek revenge and kill Davina to resurrect her dead sister who was a witch. (Who died by the hands of Marcel and the vampires.) Edited by EjamiShipper, Jan 12 2014, 04:37 PM.

http://thecelebritycafe.com/feature/2014/03/claire-holt-leaves-cws-vampire-diaries-spinoff-originals Claire Holt leaves The CW's 'Vampire Diaries' spinoff 'The Originals' By Daniel S Levine, 3/12/2014 Actress Claire Holt is reportedly leaving The CW’s The Vampire Diaries spinoff The Originals. While she will no longer be a series regular, the door is open for her to do guest appearances. A source for TheWrap said that Holt’s final episode was this past Tuesday’s show. She played Rebekah, one of the first Vampires in the world of The Vampire Diaries. Her character just left New Orleans after a fight with Klaus (Joseph Morgan), her brother. According to E! News’ sources say that there is “definitely” an opportunity for her to come back as a guest star. That could be as early as this season, but it is more likely that she will not be seen until an early season two episode. Holt’s character debuted on The Vampire Diaries in 2011 in a three-episode guest arc. However, her character became a fan favorite and she continued to appear on the show. That lead to her getting the lead female role on The Originals. The show was already picked up for a second season. It airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. I don't like this one bit. What happened?

http://www.eonline.com/news/520123/the-originals-shocker-star-claire-holt-exiting-the-series-find-out-what-happened-to-rebekah E-Online also confirmed it. I am very mad and sad about this. They needed Rebekah to balance out Klaus and Elijah and now she is gone? But she will appear in guest spot episodes? does that mean? She had to be popular amongst the female audience viewers and nevermind that; what about the the male viewers? Hey they even had her appearing in next week's episode per IMBD.com Spoiler: click to toggle That would be 1.17 and 1.18 in untitled interesting. Also Spoiler: click to toggle I am really upset by this news. I just went onto twitter about 30 minutes ago to tweet Julie Plec, Claire and Joseph about the amazing scenes they had in last night's episode. |

The Originals 1x16 "Farewell to Storyville" This episode was truly centered on the "Original Family" and they owned this episode so skillfully and masterfully. (After hearing the news today about Claire Holt leaving -- well it makes it a bitter pill to swallow indeed.) Again not to compare "Vampire Diaries" against "The Originals" but you do notice the glaring differences in the character driven storytelling. I guess you can say from my POV and I am sure many others will agree with me, this was like a "masterclass" of acting indeed. Klaus was looking to get his revenge on Rebekah for the injustice and pain he felt she caused him thru there father's return to NOLA in 1919. Well, pretty much sending him into exhile for many, many years. He was there for his payback with his very own white oak dagger. But not to be under-estimated was the peacekeeper and elder brother Elijah, who was trying to act as a "mediator" between Rebekah and Klaus. (Quite funny in it's own way in such a seriously impactful episode.) It was a very interesting choice how they had Elijah choosing to protect Rebekah and I was glad actually. Klaus reacts way too much, he doesn't think, he just reacts. As much as he does have feelings and does love his family. He reacts and that is one his most deadly attributes. I feel adding in the flashbacks scenes again; was a really nice touch and very much needed to explain exactly what each character felt at those certain periods in there lives. When Klaus gave Rebekah the "knight" to protect her and keep her safe. She was a scared little girl so vunlerable, yet she wanted her big brother to protect her and stay with her. Then we had the scene when Rebekah so ensensed by the beating that Mikeal had giving Klaus, she went to his room to kill him. Only to be stopped by Elijah so she would be safe, so they all would be. I found the exposing of the secret to be very eye opening for Klaus. When Elijah had told him about this, I certainly didn't expect him to stab him with Papa Tunde's dagger. "An eye for an eye brother." He tells Elijah (I will admit I totally lost my shit at that moment and was ready to stab Klaus myself with that oak stake. ) But when he stabbed Rebekah immediately afterwards with the oak dagger, I was really upset and disappointed. But we find out he didn't stab her in the heart with it. Therefore Rebekah lives! I found Rebekah's analysis on his family interesting though: How they were all broken in some way or another from there father. Klaus in ability to trust, be happy and love people. (He was in constant fear and loathing because of Mikael). She was constantly looking for affection, while Elijah is too busy taking care of everyone else but himself. All very accurate and dead on points. These were heartbreaking scenes between Claire Holt and Joseph Morgan. I had tears in my eyes watching this. It was truly a powerful and new understanding between both siblings. Klaus decides to let Rebekah go. (If I only knew now what I was watching was truly a good-bye for real. I would have really lost it!) You know Rebekah cannot leave NOLA without saying goodbye to her brother Elijah. They have some of the best scenes! She asks her brother if he wants to leave with her but he cannot go. He still believes Klaus can be "redeemed" and wants to stay. Rebekah believes it in her own way too, still. Oh and yes, someone has to be a guardian of Hayley and the baby. (Haylijah) They exchange good-byes. (Tears from your fans!) Rebekah goes to say good-bye to her only female friend and maybe soon-to-be SIL Hayley. The interesting pieces of advice she gave her. Don't cross Klaus. (Ominous foreshadowing?) She tells Hayley to tell her niece to tell her Aunt Bex "loves her" and to tell her all about her. TBH, what female vampire relative friend/ally from the Mikaelsons will Hayley have on her side now that Rebekah is gone? I liked their friendship. The last good-bye was the hardest and of course, Marcel. Elijah exhiled him from the "French Quarters" in a strong show of support for his brother. (Hey, I liked seeing that darker side of Elijah but don't go there all the time, ok!) Marcel explains to Rebekah he cannot leave NOLA with her because he wants to fight for his home. Which means fighting against Klaus and Elijah -- she understand and gets that. Although she does warn him "to try and stay alive." What brought tears to my eyes again was when Rebekah talked about the house they were going to live in. When she got into her red sports car and drove away to where ever she decided too, I said to myself. "You will be back, see you soon, Bek." I just hope I am right. I just cannot believe they'd let a character as popular and as like as Claire Holt go. It just doesn't make any sense. Julie Plec and Michael Narducci should have fought to try and keep her. Unless, she is coming back but it's "storyline sensitive" for down the road. Marvelous episode and really powerful. I am just sad because Claire Holt/Rebekah is gone. |

They are building up different layers to Klaus' redemption for his child for himself for his family very delicately. I am looking forward to next week's episode.
He promised, his word that no harm would come to Hayley or her baby and he lived up to it and then some! He took out the head witch Angus, who wanted to kill Hayley and her baby. He snapped the bitches head straight off! "Nobody messes with my family!" were his exact words. Elijah Michaelson, you are my bodyguard!



But a big BOO about Rebekah.
