"The Vampire Dairies" Crossover
Meanwhile, season 4 will open with the Mikaelsons' major debacle - illness for hopeless moment. While it spares Klaus, finding a solution to solve the problem must be hard. Lucky for him and Hayley because Hope has grown up to support them.
On the other hand, it has long been speculated that a character or two from "The Vampire Diaries" might be making a cameo appearance on the show. Name being dropped is Candice King who plays Caroline Forbes on TVD. Caroline might be moving to New Orleans to help the Mikaelsons solve their problem. What awaits the Mikaelsons on "The Originals" season 4? Stay tuned for more updates!
