The Mikaelson family drama will get even more intense when "The Originals" returns from its winter break with an all-new episode next year.

The epic midseason finale, titled "The Map of Moments," ended with major cliffhangers: Esther may or may not now be either dead or a vampire, Finn is out on the loose and Rebekah is trapped inside the body of a witch who, herself, is trapped by a cursed in a New Orleans home, reports TV Fanatic.

In a happier moment during the episode, Klaus and Hayley reunited with their baby daughter, Hope, for the first time since she was born. In the meantime, Rebekah, Klaus and Elijah devised a plan to take down their mother, Esther, once and for all.source

'The Originals' Season 2 Spoilers: Director Matt Hastings Teases 'Bittersweet' Episode With Frightening 'New Cast Member' [VIDEO]

Director Matt Hastings has been hard at work bringing episode 206 of The CW's The Originals to life on location in Atlanta, Ga. Even so, that doesn't mean there isn't time to joke around in between takes.

'The Originals' Crossover Event Has Already Completed Filming
"Me and our newest cast member! #TheOriginals #pumpkinhead #Season2," tweeted the director recently when he shared a photo of himself beside a rather sinister, elaborate skull with wide and distracting eyes, sharp fangs and roots which stretched around the chair below it. The prop was certainly a prominent piece as it stood in front of a store window.
Hastings spent last week directing scenes out in the brutally hot swamp with actress Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley). He then took the the streets of the show's "New Orleans" set, where the "new cast member" made his debut.

On Wednesday the director finished up production for the episode in rather familiar place, though he admitted that it was a sad experience to be done with filming.
"Last day of #206," he wrote on Twitter. "Ending is bittersweet with a giant crane in the City of the Dead. #TheOriginals." The accompanying photo was taken in haunting black and white, revealing Hastings as he stood near a crane in the cemetery, an iconic set for The Vampire Diaries spin-off.Source

'The Originals' Season 2 Spoilers: Emotional Hybrid Hayley And Upset Klaus Seen In 'New Rules' Promo Trailer

'The Originals' Season 2 Spoilers: Emotional Hybrid Hayley And Upset Klaus Seen In 'New Rules' Promo Trailer [WATCH VIDEO]

An extended promo trailer for "The Originals" Season 2 has been released to tease the mental and emotional status of the Mikaelson family members. In the promo video titled "New Rules," Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is upset while Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) becomes emotional as she struggles with her new status as a hybrid.


Klaus and Hayley's emotions will be running high in the upcoming new season because they had to send away their baby daughter Hope with aunt Rebekah (Claire Holt) in "The Originals" Season 1 finale in order to protect her. For Hayley, the new hybrid is seen in the promo trailer devastated yet deadly because of her new status.

"Everything has changed. I was a mother now I'm a monster," Hayley stated while crying. However, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) expressed concern over Hayley's behaviour because she is becoming more savage by the day. The new hybrid explained in the promo trailer that she has a werewolf temper that goes with her new vampire appetite.

As for the Original hybrid, the devastating events that happened in "The Originals" Season 1 finale will serve as a catalyst to the frustrated feeling he has because of the full moon and the moonlight rings stealing his strength. In the preview video, Klaus declares he needs to spill blood which means revenge against his enemies is still on the top of his list despite of his weakness.

The Original hybrid also offered Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) a chance to "get back in the fight" of regaining control over the French Quarter. "A warrior fights for what they believe in. A warrior fights for his family," Klaus declared before the promo trailer ended.

Despite their differences, Klaus, Elijah and Hayley must work together in the upcoming new season in order to keep Hope Mikaelson safe from their enemies such as the Guerrera werewolf clan taking over New Orleans and their resurrected parents Mikael (Sebastian Roché)
and Esther Mikaelson (Alice Evans) in Cassie's (Natalie Dreyfuss) body. Have a look at the "New Rules" promo trailer for the new season of the CW spinoff series "The Originals."

Watch Klaus Mikaelson fight off his enemies to regain power and protect his family in "The Originals" Season 2 which will premiere on Monday night, Oct. 6, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW Network.Source

'The Originals' Series Spoilers: Caroline Could Join The Cast Of The CW Drama If 'The Vampire Diaries' Ends After Season 6

When The CW developed The Originals as a spin-off series, The Vampire Diaries did not just lose one of its big baddies. It also lost one of the show's most talked about relationships: Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Caroline (Candice Accola).
Klaus' unrequited love for Elena's (Nina Dobrev) best friend was a compelling storyline, and when Klaus got his own show the pair were divided not just by Caroline's complicated feelings, but also by actual physical distance.
In an interview with Digital Spy on August 26, The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder (Damon) suggested that the series, which débuted in 2009, could end with Season 6. If that's the case, then there would be an opportunity for some characters to appear more frequently on The Originals, which is still going strong as it approaches its second season.Source

“The Originals” Season 2 News: Newly released synopsis gives fans hints on what to expect from second season; Klaus’ actions will lead to something ‘catastrophic’

After the birth of Klaus and Hayley's baby, the former decided to stage the baby's death and send her off with sister Rebekah in hopes of giving her better protection. After this, Klaus will focus his attention into "destroying the threat 'to quite catastrophic effect,'" the website reported.
In an article by Hypable.com, it was reported that "The Originals" also released an official synopsis of the upcoming season of The CW series. Part of the synopsis reads:
"Season two finds our heroes adjusting to a new status quo, with the newly empowered werewolves controlling the city and a myriad of unknown threats lurking. Though Klaus and Hayley have vowed to scorch the earth in order to make New Orleans a safe home for their daughter, Hope, they also have inner demons to battle. As she adjusts to life as a hybrid, Hayley experiences crippling rage and depression after saying goodbye to her daughter, and Klaus -- who needs his strength now more than ever -- finds himself regularly weakened as the werewolves use the moonlight rings forged in his blood."
"Unbeknownst to Klaus and Elijah, their ruthlessly devious parents have returned from the dead. Though their father, Mikael (guest star Sebastian Roché), is controlled by Davina's magic, he remains ever-intent on killing Klaus -- even if he has to go through Davina to do it. Elsewhere, their mother, Esther (guest star Alice Evans), inhabiting the body of a teenage witch, is fueled by a consuming and twisted love for her children as she devises a disturbing plan to reunite her fractured family -- a plan that involves untold torment not only for the Original siblings, but for any and all of their loved ones."
With this synopsis, fans of the series have more to base their expectations from aside from the trailer that was previously released.Source

Baby joy for couple after father’s cancer ordeal

A Sheffield teacher has become a proud dad to the baby daughter he thought he would never see – after beating cancer feared to have harmed his chances of having children.
Glenn Cambell, aged 37, from Greystones, needed surgery and chemotherapy after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, and resorted to having sperm frozen in case the treatment affected his fertility.
But Glenn says he will now be ‘happy for the rest of his days’ after having a baby daughter, Isobel, with his wife Danielle, 28, who fell pregnant naturally without having to use IVF.
The PE teacher, who works at Ecclesfield School, has pledged to raise awareness of his condition, and will be joined by Danielle and Isobel on a charity ‘march on cancer’ organised by Cancer Research UK which is happening for the first time in Sheffield next month.
“You think you’ve got a very good life and that you’re very happy with everything, but when you get cancer it makes you rethink,” he said.
“But having Bel was the best present I could have had.”
Glenn first visited his GP in December 2010 with an unusual swelling following a knock to his groin.
His doctor initially thought the lump was an infection, but antibiotics had no effect, so Glenn was sent for a scan which discovered a tumour.
Within days he underwent surgery at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital to completely remove a testicle. Tests confirmed the growth was cancerous, but the disease had not spread.
However, because of the tumour’s size, Glenn needed a single dose of chemotherapy at Weston Park Hospital.
Glenn’s sperm was frozen before the chemotherapy – but, after he and Danielle got married last August, they started trying for a family.
Danielle found out she was pregnant just two months later and Isobel was born in June.
“I was in stunned silence when Danielle told me she was pregnant,” said Glenn.
“We were getting ready to go out to see the band the Everly Pregnant Brothers, which seemed quite apt!
“I was so thrilled. It was a terrible shock when I was told I had cancer but thanks to research and treatment I’m still here today.
“And now I’ve become a dad, something I never thought I could do after having testicular cancer.”
The March On Cancer is happening on October 11.
Participants will walk for 45 minutes in Sheffield city centre, starting in Tudor Square at 7.30pm accompanied by live music, entertainment and stories from others who have beaten cancer.
Charity representatives will be on Fargate today from 10am to 2pm, giving shoppers the chance to sign up for the event.Source

'The Originals' Season 2 Trailer: Hayley Going From 'Mother' To 'Monster' In Upcoming Episodes; Klaus Looking For A 'Warrior' in New CW Teaser [VIDEO]

The CW drama The Originals got a new trailer on Friday and "new rules" are coming to New Orleans.
New Photos From 'The Originals' Season 2 Premiere
Labeled as the "New Rules Trailer" and running just over a minute, the preview shows a broken, deadly Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) in upcoming episodes. "Everything has changed," she whispers, "I was a mother now I'm a monster."
Klaus (Joseph Morgan), who is also reeling from the loss of their child, is portrayed as taking out his anguish the one way he knows how. "I need to spill blood," he claims, enlisting his prodigy-turned-enemy-turned-enemy-turned-friend Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) for help, encouraging him to get "back in the game."

'The Originals' Boasting An 'Epic' Script For Episode 6
Klaus might be out for revenge, but It won't be all bloodlust for the infamous hybrid this season. The trailer shows a frustrated, vicious Klaus, but also a loyal one. "A warrior fights for what they believe in," he declares solemnly. "A warrior fights for his family."
With a werewolf army trying to claim New Orleans for their own and enemies at every turn, Klaus and Hayley will have to work together if they are going to keep their daughter safe. Baby Hope was sent away for her own protection at the end of Season 1, though she will be featured sporadically throughout Season 2.
After spending months hidden away in the compound, Klaus, Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Hayley are finally ready to step out and take a stand and protect their family.Source

“The Originals” has only a month to go now until its October 6 premiere, but there is no reason to sit around feeling sad about the wait. After all, we have something both new and rather awesome for you in the video below!
There may be some footage within this that you have seen already from the second season, but we do appreciate that the folks over at The CW have sprinkled in some new moments here and there, as well. They include some more footage of Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) struggling with her transition and her loss of Hope (literally and figuratively), and also Klaus starting to realize how terrible a position he is in right now. His power is weakened, and Davina has created a very great weapon for the sake of his destruction. Mikael is back, and Esther is in her body. You have to know that this is not going to end particularly well.
Will there continue to be surprises throughout the journey? You have to believe it, given that this is what the show is known for. Who would’ve predicted losing two regulars during the first season? (Granted, Rebekah is still alive, but she may only have a few isolated appearances here and there now.) Also, the power struggle between Klaus and Marcel is something always worth watching, and we are very excited about the notion of Marcel having to get a little bit more involved once again.
Stay tuned, since we know that this is not the end of big “Originals” updates. We’ll have others every step of the way.Source

'The Originals' Season 2 Spoilers and Synopsis: Hayley Becomes 'Angry', More Crossovers With 'The Vampire Diaries'

"The Originals" are set to kick off a new dynamic season next month on The CW that will feature a fiery Klaus and a new "angry" Hayley.
Last season ended with an intense finale and a number of shocking moments, including Hayley's transition into a hybrid and the return of Rebekah. In addition, Klaus and Hayley's baby was finally born. However, after the birth of baby Hope, Klaus was forced to stage his daughter's death in order to protect her and send her off to live with his sister Rebekah, who made a surprise return after leaving the show earlier in the season.
Season 2 will pick up right where the first season left off and according to executive producer Michael Narducci, the vampires will have lost control of New Orleans to the Guerrera werewolves who "have taken control of the French Quarter," he told TVLine.
After losing his baby Hope, Klaus will focus on destroying anything that poses a threat "to quite catastrophic effect," said the EP.
In the meantime, Cami will feel obligated to be there for Klaus, even though she is seeing another man.
"They certainly start off in a place where Cami is seeing someone else. Yet, she feels a responsibility [to help Klaus] because she knows she has a connection to this guy -- when she speaks, he listens," said Narducci.
Fans of "The Originals" will also see a new "defensive" and "angry" Hayley as she copes with her new transition into a hybrid and wonders "if [Elijah's] ability to look down on vampires translates to her," he teased. "Hayley's new status will force them to have some interesting conversations about what this means for their future." Plus, Elijah's "decision on what to do to help her is going to be a bit surprising."
Furthermore, the EP hinted that there could be more crossovers between "The Originals" and "The Vampire Diaries" in the upcoming season.
"There's an interesting possibility for some flashback stuff," he said, adding, "Remember, that's where the Original family was -- in ancient Mystic Falls."
According to Hypable.com, "The Originals" also released a synopsis about Season 2, which reads:

"Season two finds our heroes adjusting to a new status quo, with the newly empowered werewolves controlling the city and a myriad of unknown threats lurking. Though Klaus and Hayley have vowed to scorch the earth in order to make New Orleans a safe home for their daughter, Hope, they also have inner demons to battle. As she adjusts to life as a hybrid, Hayley experiences crippling rage and depression after saying goodbye to her daughter, and Klaus -- who needs his strength now more than ever -- finds himself regularly weakened as the werewolves use the moonlight rings forged in his blood. Elijah, finding himself isolated from his troubled family, sets out to destroy Francesca (guest star Peta Sergeant) and her traitorous werewolves, connecting with Marcel and his renewed vampire community in the process. Despite the dangerous climate of the city, Cami recommits to her studies and to pursuing the life she wanted before she met Klaus -- but the werewolves in the Quarter aren't the only enemies preventing New Orleans from any semblance of peace.
"Unbeknownst to Klaus and Elijah, their ruthlessly devious parents have returned from the dead. Though their father, Mikael (guest star Sebastian Roché), is controlled by Davina's magic, he remains ever-intent on killing Klaus -- even if he has to go through Davina to do it. Elsewhere, their mother, Esther (guest star Alice Evans), inhabiting the body of a teenage witch, is fueled by a consuming and twisted love for her children as she devises a disturbing plan to reunite her fractured family -- a plan that involves untold torment not only for the Original siblings, but for any and all of their loved ones."

Season 2 of "The Originals" will premiere on Monday, Oct. 6 on The CW. source
