We knew a Vampire Diaries-Originals crossover was in the works, and now we know which actor will be making the transition: The doppelganger of all doppelgangers, Nina Dobrev.
EW has confirmed that Dobrev will be heading to the fifth episode of The Originals‘ second season as Tatia. Fans of The Vampire Diaries might recognize that name from the season 3 dinner that brought the Mikaelson brothers and the Salvatore brothers together.
Over the aforementioned dinner, Klaus and Elijah explained the “allure” of the Petrova doppelganger by taking things back to the original doppelganger—Tatia. Not only were both Klaus and Elijah in love with Tatia, but it was Esther who later killed Tatia in order to use her blood for the spell that would stop Klaus from becoming a hybrid.
Ugh I was hoping they would somehow resurrect the iconic Katherine. I mean they bring back that one teacher that no one wants but kill a fan favorite like bish whet?
Lol didn't they kill Katherine because it was too much for Nina to play two (even three) characters? And now she's playing another Petrova doppelganger? What the ****, I'm not here for that. Katherine was already great, they should resurrect her... Or do a crossover with Caroline.
I don't think they'll consider this as an official crossover since "Tatia" never really appeared on TVD, she was only mentioned there. So this is basically like Nina Dobrev acting on a show other than TVD....
Still looking forward to an actual crossover and I still have hope about Katherine coming back. It's TVD anyways, duh.
