Thanks to RLRaGE for the heads up.
Our favorite fall shows may currently be on summer hiatus, but 'The Originals' is wasting no time in dishing out some bloody good details about its upcoming second season.
For starters...Kol will be coming back!
Though he's been facing some pretty serious afterlife woes in 'The Vampire Diaries,' Klaus and Elijah’s baby bro — played by the always dreamy Nathaniel Buzolic — is set to resurface sometime this fall in a flashback scenario, which will give fans an even better look into the twisted lives of the Mikaelson family.

Another witch is coming to the Big Easy!
The Originals has cast The Wire star Sonja Sohn in a recurring season two role, E! News has exclusively learned.
Set to make her debut on the CW hit's third episode of the season, Sohn will be taking on the role of Lenore, a powerful salt-of-the-Earth in New Orleans. As we first reported in our Spoiler Chat, Lenore will prove to be quite the foe for Klaus

I hope he doesn't just return for a flashback. If Finn, Esther and Mikael are back it'd be sick if Kol would return as well. Not to mention Elijah and Klaus need all the help they can get.
ReplyDeleteAnd as expected,kol appears only in flashback.Everyone in the mikaelson family came back from the dead including the boring brother-finn!! but they couldn't bring back kol.There was a perfect opportunity in TVD season finale to bring the character back along with half-a-dozen characters that came back in TVD universe.What was the point then to show him on the other side and then show nothing about his fate.Oh,well,as now it has been confirmed that the other side is no more and kol didn't pass through bonnie definitely and their brothers hardly remembers him-i think other than flashbacks,what other option are there?I definitely don't but maybethey will surprise me!!
ReplyDeleteSo a Kol flashback and no mention of bringing back the older Finn actor. This pushes me towards the believe that Esther brought Kol and not Finn back. Finn seemed like someone who would find piece on the other side. And Kol is the vindictive one so wouldn't be surprised about it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I don't get the fandom making such a buzz about Kol, is it cause he is cutish?!? He was just okay, but never really digged his chemistry with the group. Julie really missed a hit with these other 2 brothers , didn't took advantage of them. I mean both were just tools for the story to progress quite boring. But that's just me and even if they brought back Kol his character isn't in the game to stay in NOLA, he wouldn' borther the shi*.
The actors cute/hot and Kol's a bad boy. That's all you really need to build up a teen fanbase. It also helps that Nathaniel does the convention circuit and is part of various movements/organisations. (Most noticeable being the 'End It' movement against human slavery).
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right. Either way his story is completely unappealing to me at least.
ReplyDeleteyeah, let them all come back...what was the point of killing all those characters if they are gonna be back? Its just hard to take death seriously in this show.
ReplyDeleteI'm more excited about Lenore than anything else. I'm not surprised that Klaus has made a lot of enemies among witches. He's had 1,000 years to use witches for something and then either kill them or just turn on them in the worst possible way. I don't know if anyone has picked up on this yet, but the guy hates witches in general, probably because of his mother. He's only nice to them when he wants something. He's not like Elijah, who tries to relive the old days when all of Esther's children were still witches. The only thing that sort of irks me right now is that some of Klaus' worst enemies on this show are or were African-American.
ReplyDeleteI figured Nate Buzolic would only appear as Kol in a flashback. I don't believe that Finn is at peace because he tried to murder his own family. Esther is so dark that she believes more death, specifically killing her own children, would solve the problem of something wrong that she did so long ago that there's no fixing it. If anything, Esther and Finn will both get sucked into oblivion for all of the trouble they've caused and are going to cause, if Joseph Morgan's tweet is any indication.
I'm very interested in this character Kaleb. His name is supposed to be spelled with a "C," but instead it's spelled with a "K." He's supposed to be charming, woo witches, and spin all kinds of chaos. Either Kaleb is Kol and he's not sure what to do with himself as a witch, or Kaleb is a replacement for Kol, possibly a plot device to trigger flashbacks of Kol so that annoying fans screaming for Kol will be quiet for a while.
I thought Julie Plec said in an interview that all of the characters on The Other Side were sorted out. If Kol doesn't pop up alive on one of the shows, then it'll probably be explained at some point that he went away to be at peace. I'm pretty sure he was an adolescent when his own mother made him a vampire, and he was either ignored or mistreated by all of his family after that. Elijah only pulled Kol's dagger out when it served a purpose for Elijah. For all anyone knows, that dagger was in Kol for a very long time even by the 1920s. If the good and bad were weighed, especially after Kol gave useful information in the war against the Travelers, he could have ended up at peace. The big white light could have taken him right after he talked to Matt.
As expected, just a flashback, quite disappointing... :( I just hope this appearance won't end up as the first one (a few shots of him lying in a coffin.
ReplyDeleteAnother black witch to kill off in several episodes - yay!
ReplyDeleteJust bring Bonnie over to TO already!!!
I knew we were gonna get Kol the moment his pilot didn't get picked up. Bad for him, good for Kol's fans. Personally i would have enjoyed Kol or his new sassy character on bloodlines equally.
Cool, now we just need Kol in the present.
ReplyDeleteHe's a good actor, only really good thing about Bloodlines. ..other than Sam/Dean
ReplyDeleteOh, good. I'm glad Kol has only returned for a flashback. Thankfully, TVD has made it so neither show can continue to bring people back from the dead.
ReplyDeleteOn Sonja Sohn's casting: This should be interesting. She has a very large presence onscreen. She's kind of a badass. I hope The Originals has a good part for her.
Sonja Sohn is an awesome actress. Hope she proves to be a very, very formidable opponent for Klaus. And I hope that the writers make her character strong and relatable/likeable. It would be awesome to get the audiences rooting for her also (even if her character is the enemy)
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Kol was ok, but he was not the greatest....who cares if he comes back or not. It would be nice, but I'm not gonna cry if he doesn't.
ReplyDeleteShe's good. I'm actually surprised she'd be interested in a role like this. It's very different from her other stuff but maybe that's why she's giving this a shot.
ReplyDeletelol, who doesnt hate Klaus?
ReplyDeleteI read that Julie Pec that based on the members of the Original Family we could speculate who it was. Look at the actor's behavior who is playing Finn. His pesonality is dry and dull. That is how the character is. Of course she brought Finn back not Kol.
ReplyDeleteYes but Finn would be a the obvious choice. I know it's most likely Finn but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Kol. And as I said I think Finn would find piece on the other side and Kol wanted back no asking for the price.
ReplyDeleteYou know what you are heading in the right direction. I speculate that Ester came back in the last harvest girl body. Finn came back using Monique's energy and another witch was killed, the one klaus stabbed with a spear. Wow, Kol could have come back using that witch's energy. He could have piggyback on this mom's spell without her knowing. He could have been watching them and waited for the right moment. The Flashback could be explaining how he came back. The way they describe the witch's personality sounds like Kol to me. LOL
ReplyDeleteHe is a plot device nothing more, just like Finn was. The only Original Kol ever had some sort of chemistry was Rebekah and she is gone. And it's about prefference I don't like Kol's story and doesn't need to dig in.
ReplyDeleteI think Kol is going to be the new male warlock. I think he piggyback on Ester's spell and came over. There were three witches who were killed right before the other side disappeared. Kol had time to come over. I suspected he was watching what his mom and Finn were up to. He waited for the right moment and came over. The three witches killed were in this order, blonde harvest girl that was speared by Klaus, Monique killed by Marcel, and lastly Genivere. I think since Monique and the blonde harvest girl were killed within minutes of each other as Ester cast her spell it was easy for Kol to sneak in with Finn. Finn goes into the black guys body and Kol jumps back into some hot guys body who has been cast by the actor from Teenwolf. The personality to describe the new warlock sounds like Kol to me. The flashback is gonna be showing us Kol afterlife woes as he figures out how to get back to the land of the living. We will see Kol spying on his mom and Finn on the other side.
ReplyDeleteWell, Greta Martin somehow ended up in a relationship with Klaus after he kidnapped her, which probably means that she wasn't much different from Genevieve, who had so much self-loathing that she wanted to sleep with someone who would never have real feelings for her. No one knows the real story behind Maddox. He seemed loyal, but again, Klaus could have kidnapped his family or used some other means to force Maddox's loyalty. Klaus' humanity was turned off while he was hunting doppelgangers. He wasn't in a position to make any friends. Katherine and Isobel's comments about "Klaus and his witches" could have meant anything, really. I've decided recently to try not to dive too much into past episodes because the writers keep changing things later on. Julie Plec admitted once that they try not to make some things too concrete in case they want to insert another aspect of a story in a later episode.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the fact that Tyler will be able to live in Mystic Falls while he's carrying the werewolf gene, I think it might be revealed that travelers, not witches, created werewolves. They might have done it as a way to separate murderers from the rest of society, or for some other primitive reason. Mikael failed to kill off Klaus' werewolf family and their tribe lives on, so I don't think Mikael started the war between vampires and werewolves. I think a lot of supernaturals experience tension with werewolves because most supernaturals were created by witches, and werewolves were probably created by travelers.
Markos spoke of the spell on Mystic Falls eliminating Tyler/Julian's vampire side and then his hybrid side, making him a boy with a werewolf gene, at which point he would die. Markos didn't mention any werewolf side getting killed, and I took that to mean that when someone becomes a hybrid, they cease to be a werewolf, possibly because hybrids were created by witch magic and werewolves weren't. Klaus was rare because before he was cursed, he was both a vampire and a werewolf, and then Esther cursed him and made sure that even if he broke the curse he would still be just a hybrid. It must have been the doppelganger blood used for the immortality spell that allowed Klaus to be both a vampire and a werewolf at the same time. Then Tatia was sacrificed in the ritual for the curse, permanently destroying any part of her that was in Klaus. That was why Klaus needed Elena's blood when she was human to help him sire hybrids. Esther interfered with him so much that he no longer had a separate werewolf side. The fact that hybrids aren't technically werewolves anymore could be why werewolves have a problem with hybrids, whether or not there's an actual threat of getting sired. Hybrids are just werewolves that became vampires, and it takes a special type of hybrid to be able to sire werewolves. The curious thing is that hybrids don't feel any aggression towards werewolves, other than the occasional urge to sire them.
I think it makes sense that a third witch was resurrected, but whether that was Kaleb or Lenore is the question. Maybe Lenore will be resurrected when Esther is killed, but that would mean killing Cassie too. I'm not sure how I would feel about that. If Esther's spirit is killed and Cassie's body is somehow preserved, the only one getting resurrected there would be Cassie. It's possible that Lenore will be in the background at first and rise to be an elder while Esther is still causing trouble.
ReplyDeleteI got the impression from the articles about Kaleb that he's either returning to town or new in town. That would mean that he's a witch who lost power when The Other Side was destroyed and he's now practicing magic without spirits, like Davina. If he is Kol, then Kol might have been resurrected using a passenger spell, and everyone would still call him a witch because TO writers refuse to acknowledge traveler mythology. It doesn't seem like Kaleb will have any knowledge of Esther and Finn's behavior. I don't know who this character is supposed to be, but it seems clear that TO writers are trying to appease Kol fans in some way by bringing Kaleb onto the show.
The other side is gone now. No one can be resurrected anymore. That was the point that the writers wanted to make in the arc of the "Other Side". So when Esther dies she dies. Actor Joeseph Morgan said it is gonna make to make the stakes higher. If they kill Ester, then Cassie dies too. She is not immortal. Even the travelers died. And the body they inhabit died too unless they were stabbed with that traveler knife.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I don't think he hates all witches. Just like Rebekah knew she could find a witch she could trust. Klaus told her to do so and she said she knows what to do. That suggests to me that the Mikealesons have histories with witches they can trust. There are some they cannot trust but they know of ones that do. Unless Rebekah plans to kill the witch after she completes the cloaking spell. LOL
ReplyDeleteWerewolf gene could earth magic. Meaning that they were created that way just like the Travelers were. The wolfs are created from the earth just like the traverlers. I dont think they were created by the travelers. Werewolves came into being just like the travelers did.
ReplyDeleteMost sites have Alice Evans set to return as Esther so I hope they have Caspar Zafer return as Finn.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why people keep calling it a curse. If werewolves sprung into existence alongside humans, then witches had nothing to do with them. That would be yet another reason for so much tension between vampires and werewolves. Werewolves naturally exist and vampires were created by a misguided witch who went on to be called "The Darkness" by supernaturals on the Other Side.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why male witches keep getting called warlocks. That must be a new TO mythology. Genevieve briefly explained in Episode 19 that the New Orleans witches were unaffected by the chaos on the Other Side, or "The Spirit World" as TO writers called it, because Limbo was created a long time ago for the ancestors of French Quarter witches to dwell separately from the Other Side. It was supposed to be some way of honoring those spirits, giving them their own little spirit world that is probably based out of the graveyard.
ReplyDeleteIf Joseph Morgan said that what was happening on the Other Side would affect people in New Orleans, he was probably talking about MIkael's return. If he thought the two shows would be intertwined beyond that much on the subject of the Other Side, he must not have been paying attention to anything but his own lines for Episode 19. If anything, Klaus could possibly use knowledge about how the Other Side was destroyed to help him bring down Limbo, but even then he would need doppelganger blood, which I doubt will ever show up on TO. If Klaus destroys a "spirit world" without doppelganger blood, then TO writers will have once again messed with TVD mythology in ways that they shouldn't.
She has done ancestral magic a few times on TVD, the term only came about on TO. Esther also used bonnie and her mother to channel her line for the spell to turn the originals back to human.
ReplyDeleteThat is about right. Vampires are spirt magic which is not natural. Wolves are natural.
ReplyDeleteWhere in episode 19, does Genviere say that? I never saw that. I am looking for it now. Thanks
