Check out this great article from TV Guide where they break down the cast of The Originals, with a little added commentary from Executive Producer, Julie Plec.
The Original Family
Fans of The Vampire Diaries are well aware of the contentious and extremely complicated relationship between Klaus, his brother Elijah and their sister Rebekah (Claire Holt). But newcomers will quickly catch on to that during the premiere, which mirrors last year’s backdoor pilot but is told from Elijah’s point-of-view. “The family is [still] somewhat divided although …we’re trying to stay under the same roof,” Morgan says. “There is the usual tempestuous dynamic between Klaus and Rebekah, and Elijah and Klaus have tried to come together and had their disagreements as well. So, it’s a struggle. Ultimately, they all have the same goal. They just have different ideas of how to get there.”
