'The Vampire Diaries' & 'The Originals' Crossover Episode

It looks like fans will finally be getting what they have been asking for, a "Vampire Diaries" and" The Originals" crossover. The series' show runner Julie Plec dropped some major spoilers about the popular CW shows.

According to E! News, Plec revealed that Nina Dobrev who plays Elena Gilbert on "TVD" will be heading to New Orleans to introduce another doppelgänger via flashbacks to the TVD/Originals universe.
The creative mind explained, "There's a lot of people that could cross over, and when we plan our crossovers, we like to think of the most clever way to integrate The Vampire Diaries mythology into The Originals mythology."

Julie Plec continued, "There was a character's name introduced a long time ago in season three in association with Klaus [Joseph Morgan] and Elijah [Daniel Gillies] and how they became vampires and a girl that they both loved a long time ago who was the original doppelgänger, Tatia.
"So Nina Dobrev will be visiting The Originals for a nice little storyline in our fifth episode which airs November 3."
Plec also teased that Tatia's presence will bring out a side to "The Original" brothers that fans have seen before, when they fall in love with the same woman.
She explained, "What we remember from The Vampire Diaries, for those who watch both shows, is that [Klaus and Elijah] both loved her, so it's a little bit of history repeating itself like with Stefan [Paul Wesley] and Damon [Ian Somerhalder]."
Plec added, "And then Esther [Alice Evans], their mother, killed her so that she could make Klaus not a hybrid.
"There's lots of secrets and scandal and romance and terrible tragedy attached to her character. We'll get to go back into the past to see how that all played out."
So why introduce Tatia on The Originals now, three seasons after her name was mentioned on TVD?

She also explained her reasoning behind introducing Tatia on "The Originals" now, three seasons after her name was mentioned on "The Vampire Diaries."
Plec said, "We made a rule at the very beginning, like, 'Let's not be number whores or number grabbers,'" adding, "We don't want to be doing crossovers for the sake of, 'Look at us!' You know?

"But in this particular case, the character of Tatia is part of their history and is kind of a dangling chad. It's something we brought up a long time ago and never paid off."
Are you excited to see Nina Dobrev head to "The Originals" portraying another doppelgänger that will spark a deadly love triangle between Klaus and Elijah? The brunette beauty's episode of "The Originals" is scheduled to air on The CW, Monday, November 3rd, at 8 p.m.
