Actress Candice King, best known for starring as Caroline Forbes in The Vampire Diaries, has come forward and has happily discussed her character and her character’s relationship with Klaus Mikaelson (played by Joseph Morgan).
We are only 2 weeks away from The Originals premiere and the 30-year-old has sat down and spilled some details. The actress said, “Julie Plec always had a very clear idea of what she wanted for Caroline and Klaus together,” The movie star then carried on saying, “It wasn’t exactly always in line with what the fans wanted for those characters…she wrote very important moments that she wanted for those characters, but I think she also gave a lot to the fans and what they wanted to see.”
It was noted a while ago that Candice would only be making an appearance in the premiere, however just recently it was revealed that this was not the case and her character will be sticking around for a bit longer than expected. It has been mentioned that this all occurred in a dinner with Series producer Julie Plec, “One thing led to another, as it usually does with Julie and I. A couple bottles of wine later and I’m in five episodes of the show.”
As for her character’s relationship on the show with Klaus Mikaelson, which is known to be one of the most popular ships across The Vampire Diaries and The Originals shows, the Juno star, “When [The Vampire Diaries] ended, it was just supposed to be a quick little pop-in to say goodbye to the Caroline and Klaus storyline for the fans,” she says. “We all felt that it would be really significant and important for anyone who supported – or ‘shipped’ as the kids say – those two together”.
Spoiler Ahead!
