The Originals: What's Cami's Point? Romance for Elijah? And 4 Other Burning Qs Answered
I DIDN’T SEE THE PILOT. CAN I STILL WATCH THE SHOW? | You bet. In fact, Thursday’s premiere will retell the story of this past April’s episode from Elijah’s POV, so newbie viewers will be able to follow along. But that doesn’t mean those who did watch the pilot will be bored. “In that unique vantage point, we’re going to reveal a lot of the things the audience was not privy to,” previews Narducci. “You’re going to learn a lot more information. You’re going to see a different story. The ending, in particular, is very shocking and different. It’s going to lead directly into where our series is going for the first several episodes.”
HOW DOES CAMI, A HUMAN, FIT INTO A SHOW ABOUT VAMPIRES AND WITCHES? | “Very early on, we’ll see that she catches the eye of Marcel,” teases Narducci. “So if you’re Klaus, and you want to get to the bottom of Marcel and his power dynamic, it’s very interesting to notice that this girl Cami has caught Marcel’s eye.” Naturally, the Original will cozy up to the psych student, who becomes something of an unexpected friend. “A lot of the fans are assuming, ‘Oh my God, is there going to be a romance?’” says the EP. “I think it’s far more interesting to play just a human connection, ’cause he doesn’t really have a lot of friends. Klaus is someone who either kills you or manipulates you. Cami is someone who is educated enough that he might take a pause and just be curious to get to know her. Her history with New Orleans and her education are going to make her someone very interesting for Klaus to interact with.”
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DAVINA CHARACTER? | The young witch (played by Danielle Campbell) – who appears in the director’s cut of the pilot, available at CWTV.com – was cut from the aired broadcast. “I was heartbroken when they were not able to include [her] in the episode,” admits Narducci. “But really, it’s more in line with the series, and less in line with what the story was of that Vampire Diaries episode.” As for the reveal that Marcel is using Davina to control the witches, “We will go forward under the assumption that people are aware of that information, but we will do the reset” explaining her relationship to the vampire, adds the EP.
WHEN WILL REBEKAH JOIN HER BROTHERS IN NEW ORLEANS? | “She will get involved, and more importantly, she will have reason to get involved very soon,” hints Narducci. “And not perhaps the reason you might expect. Not the baby reason. Other reasons, one which is deeply personal to her and one that is shocking.”

- I hope The Originals finds an audience beyond the following these characters have on TVD.
ReplyDelete- It's nice to read that Camille's link to Klaus will be one of friendship and not romantic entanglement. If she ends up being his Lexi I'd be fine with that.
- Please don't turn Marcel into another tortured, pseudo-sympathetic character. Since when did creating a character who is simply a straightforward villain become such a bad thing?
- I have a ton of questions about Davina and her motivations so I hope they start answering them straightaway.
- I honestly don't care much about the impetus behind Rebekah's move to New Orleans. Just get her ass down there already.
- The baby plot is okay with me. It doesn't seem to be used as a relationship / romance ploy but rather for leverage by multiple parties and as an excuse for the Michaelsons to address some larger family issues. I do see anything wrong with that. I think it's interesting.
- What's with the Sophie / Elijah romance question? I've yet to see any indication of that whatsoever.
I don't think Klaus and Cami romance is ruled out, on the contrary. I saw the sparks between them for a reason. Same for Hayley and Elijah in the director's cut pilot. The writers won't fool me.
