The hit CW series The Originals premieres its second season tonight, yeah that is right, Monday night. That is not the only thing that is new year. Nina Dobrev will joining the cast for a brief bit, as her Vampire Diaries character Tatia (doppelganger).
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s Season 2 premiere episode, titled “Rebirth,” reads:
“Season 2 begins with Klaus plotting his revenge against the Guerrera werewolves and vowing to take down anyone who poses a threat to baby Hope's existence. Meanwhile, Hayley mourns the loss of her daughter and struggles to adapt to her new hybrid status; Marcel tries to rebuild his home; Cami seeks comfort in a surprising place; and Davina tries to use Mikael against Klaus, but gets sidetracked when she meets the mysterious, yet charming Kaleb, who holds a few secrets of his own.”
Fans of The Originals have some pretty big things to look forward to this season. One of those things is the appearance of The Vampire Diaries’ own Nina Dobrev. Dobrev’s doppelganger character Tatia will son be crossing over.
TVD and Originals creator/showrunner, Julie Plec, recently spoke to E! about Dobrev’s Originals appearance:
"There's a lot of people that could cross over, and when we plan our crossovers, we like to think of the most clever way to integrate The Vampire Diaries mythology into The Originals mythology. There was a character's name introduced a long time ago in season three in association with Klaus [Joseph Morgan] and Elijah [Daniel Gillies] and how they became vampires and a girl that they both loved a long time ago who was the original doppelgänger, Tatia. So Nina Dobrev will be visiting The Originals for a nice little storyline in our fifth episode which airs November 3."
Julie Plec went on to talk about the spell that Tatia will cast on the cast of The Originals:
"What we remember from The Vampire Diaries, for those who watch both shows, is that [Klaus and Elijah] both loved her, so it's a little bit of history repeating itself like with Stefan [Paul Wesley] and Damon [Ian Somerhalder]. And then Esther [Alice Evans], their mother, killed her so that she could make Klaus not a hybrid. There's lots of secrets and scandal and romance and terrible tragedy attached to her character. We'll get to go back into the past to see how that all played out."
