‘The Originals’ season 3 spoilers: Finn, Elijah, and a ‘Vampire Diaries’ crossover
For those of you who enjoyed getting to see Paul Wesley guest-star on “The Originals” earlier this season, we come bearing good news: There are some more crossover events coming up! On an upcoming season 3 episode you’re going to see Elijah and Finn pay Matt Donovan a visit, and given some of the history there, this should be an interesting meeting. Also, the timeline here should be interesting since this will actually be taking place before the present events on “The Vampire Diaries,” given that this show is jumping forward in time for its next new installment.
In speaking about this particular story further to “Access Hollywood,” executive producer Michael Narducci passed along the following message:
“[I] know the fans — they love the shared universe and they love to see that these characters still interact in the same big wide world and if Matt is interacting with Elijah — that’s a reminder that these characters still function in the same place … For me, as a creator, what’s really exciting is that Matt was the one who killed Finn in Season 3 with a white oak stake and so now it’s Finn, who has recently been brought back through magic to rejoin his family, [who] is coming face-to-face with the guy who killed him. And I think that that’s interesting and it’s also interesting as a reminder that even though he’s just a human being, Matt Donovan’s a tough guy who, when push comes to shove, given the right weapons, can even take down an Original, so I thought that was pretty cool.”
We hope that this will be a great way to use these characters, and of course to go along with it we hope that this is just the beginning of some other great crossovers that come in the direction of these shows in the future. We know that they’re both coming back for another season, and there’s a lot of time in between past and present time on “The Vampire Diaries” where things can be explored.
