‘The Originals’ season 2 spoilers: First look at Claudia Black’s Dahlia
“The Originals” returns to The CW on Monday, April 6, and you only have to wait one week longer to finally meet Dahlia for the first time in the flesh. We’d like to draw a comparison here between Claudia Black’s character and Klaus back when he was first introduced on “The Vampire Diaries.” These were two characters who we heard about long before we actually met them, and some of the merit that came with that was that it provided a real opportunity to start to understand their tics and tendencies before we even met them. That also added to the mystique, and when we saw them, it was a rather substantial deal.
Below, you can take a first look at the character via Entertainment Weekly, and she certainly looks like she is capable of inflicting all sorts of harm. Baby Hope will be her target, and she may stop at almost nothing to get her and achieve chaos of the worst kind.
In describing this big moment to the site, Joseph Morgan passed along the following:
“It’s just so exciting that they got the casting so right because I was so worried … We built up Dahlia for a long time—if someone comes in and is terrible or really isn’t frightening in any way or something, that’s the season ruined. But Claudia Black is just wonderful. First of all, she’s a veteran at sci-fi and fantasy. She knows what she’s doing, so she’s really able to handle the intensity of those speeches about curses and witches and wolves and vampires and all of that stuff, which is a whole other skill set to teach at drama school.”
We know that we are going to get at least a few episodes of this character potentially, and we hope that this builds into something that could fill up more time in season 3 we know that having a main villain for 22 episodes can be exhausting, but if she is good enough, she could pull it off.

This lady freaks me out and I don’t want Hope to be kidnapped. Klaus used to be the villain that everyone feared. Any someone is going to die. Just leave my Daniel Gillies and Elijah on the show. And I miss Elijah and Haley and I like Klaus and Cami and bring kol and Davina back. And like the new Becca but like Claire and cant stand Haley and Jackson no skim off my back if Jackson goes
