As soon as word got out that The CW was developing a spin-off for The Originals out of The Vampire Diaries, focusing on Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and the Original family, people have wondered where Elijah (Daniel Gillies) fits into the picture.
We now have some news, and it is good.
Deadline.com is now reporting that Elijah will be a part of The Originals back-door pilot, which will air as an episode of TVD in April. If it goes to series, Gillies will pull double duty, also continuing his role in the Canadian series Saving Hope.
The Deadline report describes the trio of Klaus, Elijah, and Phoebe Tonkin’s Hayley as following TVD’s guy-guy-girl formula; we’re going to editorialize a little here and ask where Rebekah and Kol are.
Stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.
