The Originals - Season 3 - Riley Voelkel Promoted to Series Regular

May 12, 2015

Share on Reddit


Thanks to Mr. Edmodo for the heads up.

Despite Aunt Dahlia’s best efforts, there’s just no breaking up the Mikaelsons. In fact, following the events of Monday’s season finale, you’ll be seeing a lot more of one family member: TVLine has learned that Riley Voelkel (aka Freya) will be a series regular in Season 3!

“Freya is going to stick around and help raise [Hope],” executive producer Michael Narducci teases. “She’s allowing Rebekah the chance to go have a life by sticking around. I’m really excited to see what role this new sister is going to have in the family and how she may play off of both of her brothers. I’m really excited about that family dynamic.”

  2. Not really interested in her, but if we could swap Hayley for her im all for it.

  3. Saw it coming and now that we saw when she had the PERFECT opportunity to kill Klaus and didn't showed that she can be trusted. So i don't hate it as much as i would've weeks ago.

  4. Great news. I've been hoping for this announcement since she first appeared on the show. It's not every day that you get to add a Mikelson to the cast, so I'm glad they locked her down full time.


    Since it seems like we'll have to be content with only having Claire Holt back as Rebekah for the big moments, I'm kind of hoping "Of Kings and Prophets" bombs so we can get Maisie Richardson-Sellars back as Rebekah 2.0 full time as well.

  5. with you on Kings and Prophets...especially since its a religious driven show. Don't need that myself, so I'd rather have Maisie back full time as well

  6. Good, she fits in well with the rest of the cast. And her and Kkaus have great banter. This is good news, I will miss Rebekah though. Both versions, though they left it open enough she can come back in either body.

  7. Cool. Like her, and the Originals need a female family member as a main. Plus a witch on their side is always a plus.

  8. Ugh Hayley. She's okay at best.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Oh f*ck! I knew it! Ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Awesome!
    Now bring back the really Kol :)

  11. Good for Riley. I always wanted Jaime King in this role, but RV has done a fine so far.
    She just has 6 months to live next season, before she falls asleep again. Lets see how' they'll play that out.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I wanted to be interested in her so badly. The basic outline of her character is amazing, but the on-screen reality is just...


    Congratulations for RV for having a steady job, all I can say.

  13. Good for Riley. Too bad I won't watch without Nate. #StillPissed

  14. Davina still has his ashes.. :) I hope

    ReplyDelete
  15. just because one character? hm..

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't have a problem with Freya and it will be interesting to see Klaus interact with a diving that hasn't bought into that Always and Forever line. I doubt she'll put up with his crap the way Rebekah and Elijah have.

    However, I hate that we lost Rebekah (in both forms).

    ReplyDelete
  17. With the way finale ended I am really happy she is sticking around. I am so sad we are loosing Masie and Claire as Rebekah. :( And yet we have Hayley. *sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  18. I thought since she was unlinked to Dahlia she was free of the sleep spell.

    ReplyDelete
  19. My sister's the same, she stopped watching when Claire Holt left the show.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wrote this before watching the episode. ^^

    ReplyDelete
  21. I didn't know you were into TO :D
    Guess we'll have to wait for Maisie until Kings and Prophets gets the can


    (hopefully Hayley is reduced to recurring, I mean..she's bound to the moon now)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I watch TO regularly. I gave up on TVD by season 4 and got back in to it this season. Its just that I only haunt Arrow and Flash fandom regularly. Others like TO, Shield, PoI etc etc etc I only dip my toes once in a while.


    Masie needs to come back. She was really good as Rebekah. Fingers crossed. At least we have Yusuf Gatewood around. He is a good addition.


    Since I never saw Hayley's arc in TVD (I just watched the originals scenes before watching TO) I viewed her with an open mind. To an extend I did like her in season 1. But the whole princess/Queen of werewolf clan thing that really put me off the character. This season it's even worse. I thought the marriage and the joining of the clans would make the werewolves more interesting. Instead they killed all the other leaders in one episode. The guirrero werewolves of last season were interesting and so was Klaus's father Ansel. They were all killed off and we are left with Jackson, Hayley and an incompetent bunch of wolves. smh.

  23. Ah, that's really nice to hear. You should haunt the TO fandom more often, we're not as divided as the Arrow fandom :P
    Same, I gave up on TVD shorty after season 4 (in fact the season 5 premiere was what killed it for me)


    Totally agreed with you, it's not everyday that an actress manages to make a beloved character her own. Maisie really did an outstanding job as Rebekah and I'd love to have her back soon (Narducci said they now could juggle both Claires and Maisies schedule wich would be easier than DGs schedule when he was on Saving Hope). So I'm really hoping that we`ll get to see both Claire and Maisie on a more frequent basis.


    You didn't miss anything on TVD, in fact she seemed even worse on TVD. She started out as Tylers best friend, then betrayed him and got his pack + mother killed. The fact that she`s this alleged werewolf queen makes it even worse, the definition of Mary Sue fits her rather well.

    The werewolves truly are annoying though, Jackson is the worst character I've ever encountered (100% good, virtually no flaw) and the other wolves are just annoying.

  24. Well, unfortunately they killed my interest in every other character this season. Last season I loved the so much. Now I don't even care.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I don't mind her but I want real Rebekah( though Maise has done well)& I'm not suprised real Kohl didn't return.I think the show is getting too many characters and they should get rid of some-Vincent for one.

  26. "She's allowing Rebekah the chance to go have a life by sticking around." I don't understand this, but since I haven't seen the penultimate ep and the season finale (yet, I will get to it, in fact, right after work I'll jump in right away!) but GREAT news overall!! SO happy Freya's sticking around!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yet to watch the finale, but I like this. Freya has good chemistry with the brothers and I love her banter with Klaus.

    Now, if Claire Holt keeps popping up in the future it will be perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yaaaaay!! I was hoping for this since she joined the show. Now bring back Kol!!! Pretty please!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Don't like the character , don't like the actress , so i'm not thrilled..... For me , It should have been Maisie Richardson-Sellers.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I saw this coming a mile off.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  32. great news!!! she have done a great job with the character and she has chemical with her brothers....

  33. I am happy I like her and she is amazing actress. At first I was not sure but it will be interesting how her and Klaus will get along
