The Originals fans were shocked at the end of the season one finale when Mikael (Sebastian Roche), father of the Original vampires, returned to the land of the living, vowing to kill all his children once and for all. But his return came with strings attached.
Specifically, strings attached to young witch Davina (Danielle Campbell), who has complete control over the violent and vengeful vampire vampire-hunter. That's good news for Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and every other Original vampire out there, since Mikael is still seriously out for their blood.
We put on our brave face and confronted the scary Papa Original himself to talk all things season two, including whether or not we'll see a giant Original family reunion. After all, Mama Original Esther also returned from the dead in a new body, taking one of her sons (Is it Kol or Finn?) with her.
Roche didn't always know that he'd be back for good on The Originals, but he did know he wasn't finished with playing the character. "When you have Originals in the title and you're Papa Original, I knew that eventually I was going to pop my head in," Roche said with a laugh. "The first five episodes are going to be very intense and it's going to be quite an epic season, there's no question about it. We're in store for some amazing confrontations between Mikael and his sons."
And Klaus and Elijah better watch out, because those confrontations aren't going to be filled with fatherly hugs and sunshine and rainbows. Mikael's time on The Other Side didn't diminish his anger at Klaus for killing Esther.
"Mikael has this thousand-year-old rage and desire for revenge for his son," Roche said. "There are going to be some different aspects this time around but that desire for revenge will be there still. You'll see different layers to the character through flashbacks, and we'll see the history of some of the other characters of our family as well as others like Hayley [Phoebe Tonkin] and Cami [Leah Pipes] and Davina."

It's good that they're not going to leave out the part where Klaus framed Mikael for killing Esther. Too bad the writers won't be able to convey who exposed the truth without intertwining the two shows too much. I'm glad there will be more about Hayley's history. It'll probably just be minor stuff like who her parents were and who killed them, but it would be REALLY interesting if it turns out that Hayley isn't really Andrea whomever and she was given some false leads to her family, right down to a birthmark that anyone in her clan would have been born with. I always got the feeling that at least some of the Crescent wolves were taking advantage of Hayley because she doesn't really know who she is. I'm sure Jackson and Eve were legit, but that clan consists of a lot of families who all seem to want the throne. There's been talk about infighting among the werewolves since May.
