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. :cheer: 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. :cloud9: 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! :cloud9: 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.)

This was such an interesting theory and it makes so much sense! It's from a board I subscribe to.

Quote:
 
Since Sabine first gave her prophecy of the child causing the death of witches, I wondered if it was the child or her family in her defense. TO have killed a lot of witches already in NO, most in defense of the child. Agnes and four others by Elijah in the church, 2 or 3 in the cemetery looking for Klaus and Rebekah, Sabine/Celeste, Genevieve, Monique, Abigail, the guy (Papa Tunde) Klaus cut in half in the church going for Hayley. May be some more I've missed, but it seems this NO coven has to be getting smaller and the baby was just born.

If they keep coming for TO and the baby, there's not going to be a coven in NO it seems.

The child is definitely something new, she's some sort of new breed, a mixture of all the supernatural. I know next season starts a few months after the baby's birth, but in the future I wouldn't mind a 10 year time jump to see what this child is.


WOW. Interesting. Right? Now I am going to expand on this, what if this new warlock is Esther (in disguise) or a descendant of hers? (like another son)?

Sabine predicted the baby would bring death to all the witches in the quarter --- but to protect her family. So in a matter of speaking she is the most powerful witch of all. She will be if she grows to full age. Hope Mikaelson is part hybrid, witch and vampire. There is no one else like her anywhere in the Supernatural realm. Think about that. :ohmy:

It is the End for The Vampire Diaries?
The Vampire Diaries Jun 1, 2014

The Vampire Diaries may be on its final season! If its not the final season its the pre-finale season! Julie plec told people on twitter! The Vampire Diaries will be gone! The Originals will still be making a incredible name for itself and it is its own storyline and show, but I am sure The Vampire Diaries cast will always be welcomed to make cameos on The Originals after The Vampire Diaries ends. The main reason for the ending is the characters! Contracts for cast members takes months and a lot of negotiating and time is money! Each contract makes the actors salaries go up higher than before. The three main characters Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert), Paul Wesley (Stefan) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) contracts ends are coming up soon!

So will the famous trio end their contracts and their show? Or will they continue for another season? Comment Below!

History repeating itself is what I'm afraid of. The Originals being a spinoff should offer us something different than what we've already watched for several seasons. Vampire Diaries was about a love triangle, but Originals is supposed to be about family. Throwing a woman in the middle is not only doing what TVD already did (which was very tiresome) but also ruining the family angle of the show. The struggle should be their feelings for one another, not for some girl.

I'm starting to believe Hayley dying would have made more sense for the show.


I read this somewhere about "The Originals" turning into another "TVD" which I don't agree with. Yes, there are some similarities but the plots are variably different as well as character development, villains, rooting characters and I will say this now "The Originals" is based on family dysfunction, tragedy and the power to rise and redeem themselves. (Most especially Klaus in this gray area.) Not a love triangle like "TVD" primary focus was and still is for what 5 seasons strong.

"The Originals" has badass villains, ones that haven't even surfaced yet, wolves, vamps and real witches, not 1 witch! (Bonnie). So actually, I don't think that Hayley dying (permanently) would have been a good turning point in story since she did die. But she was pregnant with a hybrid child, so technically that is was brought her back to life. Comments like these don't make sense to me. Technically Elijah and Hayley were involved first, yes it might have been (a wee uncomfortable since she was carrying Klaus' child) but he never had any intention of being with her, romantically. They had a fling, a ONS so how is that a long lasting relationship, a love affair? I don't get these Klayley fans. :rolleyes:

He (Klaus) even said on a few different occasions, that he only cared for the child. When Hayley was hemorrhaging he told Genevieve to save his "child" not a mention of Hayley. While Elijah said save the baby and Hayley. Klaus is not a "monster" but I am just stating the fact of what his state of mind was in that moment - and many other times. Whereas, Elijah seems to me to be deeply falling in love with Hayley for a long while now. His feelings are - well were being reciprocated right up until the birth of Hope Mikaelson by Hayley. Where #Haylijah goes from here in season 2, is anyones guess, but I am hoping that Hayley sees how much does Elijah love her. What he will do and sacrifice and the time he will give her to come back to him. He has an enormous amount of patience. If she really does have those feelings for him - romantically.

My personal observation is that Klaus seems to be invested in Cami and wanted to pursue a relationship with her. But because of the current circumstances (warring factions, Genevieve, his unborn child birth coming, enemies) his head wouldn't be fully invested in a relationship at the moment. The speech he gave her in the season finale was so heartbreaking yet so telling about how he really felt for her. It was open, honest and tragic. I just hope that he doesn't give up on her and she doesn't give up either.

Another unforeseen impact to the show was Claire Holt's sudden departure. How long into the show was this planned? How long did both Julie and Claire know, who knows? But that IMHO affected the "family dynamic" that made "The Originals" so touching and profound. Now with Claire gone, that void has to be filled. There are whispers of Mikael, Ester, Kol and Finn coming back, (not sure if these are guest appearances or actual recurring roles) but I know that I feel that essence of Rebekah being in the family is missing. I loved her relationship with Elijah and Klaus. Her relationship with Hayley was even bittersweet in it's own way. She was the glue that held them together. I really hope that Claire Holt does come back for more then cameos.

In close, this poster had no idea what they were saying by comparing "TVD" to "The Originals" and I don't say that to make a snide/rude comment. I like both shows but in different ways. You can be a fan. I just don't agree with this OP and felt like this needed to be addressed.

I mean I could go on about "TVD" supporting cast, Caroline, Jeremy, Matt, compare/contrast to Marcel, Davina, Jackson even. It's just not fair.

We could sit here all night long and discuss our likes and dislikes, but what's the point, both shows are good. We like them obviously for different reasons.

I get highly offended when they compare them though. They are nothing alike.
