Thanks to EW, we have our first look at present day Dahlia. See what Joseph Morgan had to say about her and Claudia Black who plays her.
“It’s just so exciting that they got the casting so right because I was so worried,” Morgan said. “We built up Dahlia for a long time—if someone comes in and is terrible or really isn’t frightening in any way or something, that’s the season ruined. But Claudia Black is just wonderful. First of all, she’s a veteran at sci-fi and fantasy. She knows what she’s doing, so she’s really able to handle the intensity of those speeches about curses and witches and wolves and vampires and all of that stuff, which is a whole other skill set to teach at drama school.”
As for what Dahlia’s arrival in New Orleans means for Klaus, Morgan hinted that those references to similarities between Klaus and Dahlia won’t go unrecognized. “They’re definitely of the same blood,” he teased.
