As we exclusively reported back in September, Nina
Dobrev is set to guest star on The Originals, crossing
over from The Vampire Diaries to play not Elena, not
Katherine, not Amara, but a character fans have yet
to meet: Tatia, the woman both Klaus (Joseph
Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) fell in love with
oh-so-many years ago. Oh, and the original
doppelganger!
And we're sharing the exclusive first pictures of
Dobrev in action as Tatia, looking like a serious
badass (Loving that hair, girl!) and getting super close
to both brothers. (Hey, can you blame her?!)
"What we remember from The Vampire Diaries, for
those who watch both shows, is that [Klaus and Elijah]
both loved her, so it's a little bit of history repeating
itself like with Stefan [Paul Wesley] and Damon [Ian
Somerhalder]," creator Julie Plec says of Tatia's
highly anticipated debut. "And then Esther [Alice
Evans], their mother, killed her so that she could
make Klaus not a hybrid. There's lots of secrets and
scandal and romance and terrible tragedy attached
to her character. We'll get to go back into the past to
see how that all played out."
Dobrev is only the second TVD star to appear on The
Originals, with Michael Trevino guest staring as Tyler
in season one. As for why it was time to stage
another crossover, Plec told us, "The character of
Tatia is part of their history and is kind of a dangling
chad. It's something we brought up a long time ago
and never paid off."

Taking on a fourth character was "really fun"
experience for Dobrev, who described Tatia was the
"most pure" of all the Petrova women.
"She's the original and so she kind of feels the most
pure, to me, of all the characters ,and unaffected
and doesn't have all of this previous history of the
doppelgangers preceding her to add pressure,"
Dobrev said of Tatia. "She was just sort of the
dealing with love that went wrong."
When we asked the star to predict what would be
trending on Twitter on the night her crossover airs,
Dobrev said, "#Tatia, #Awesomesauce and hopefully
#NinaCrushedIt." Make it happen, Twitter. Make. It.
Happen.
