    • Trivia
      The character Klaus Mikaelson was originally meant to be killed off in The Vampire Diaries (2009), but the character's ever increasing popularity granted him survival and a spin-off show.
    • Quotes

      Elijah Mikaelson: If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results then surely my quest for your salvation ranks me as one of the maddest of men.

    The Best
    This is the best ever American drama that I have watched!! πŸ’“ The plot is so interesting that it didn't make me bored even for a second and the characters, omg! There are no expressions and words to describe how much I love them!! You will definitely fall in love with the Michaelson family, if you watch this one. And one of the most interesting thing about The Originals is that the series moves in a parallel way with The Vampire Diaries and if you did watch The Vampire Diaries, you should never miss The Originals. What are you waiting for? Please go watch. The Originals is definitely worth spending our time. SO MUCH LOVE!! ❀
