The Originals' Charles Michael Davis on Davina's Goodbye, (Spoiler's) Return Friday’s episode of The Originals (The CW, 9/8c) kicks off the third and final leg of the Davina Claire Farewell Tour, where you can bet Marcel Gerard will be standing in the front row, bawling his eyes out. “At first, it was like any other scene,” Charles Michael Davis tells TVLine. “But then the director said something that reminded me of Danielle’s 21st birthday. We had a party here in Atlanta, and as I was leaving, she was like, ‘Charles, I love you. You don’t know how much you mean to me.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, Danielle, don’t you get all sentimental on me right now.’ But it was a touching moment, and it was kind of like that. … We started to use what was going on in our lives in the scene. I felt like I had to use everything. I was like, ‘You want me to cry in this scene, too? It’s the opening scene! By the time we filmed the last scene of the episode, I was so stressed out that I ended up getting shingles.” Below, Davis expands on the loss of Davina, previews Marcel’s (alleged) “spiral” and drops a hint about a certain blonde who may or may not be reappearing in next week’s season finale. TVLINE | I feel like I know the answer already, but why is Davina’s death hitting Marcel particularly hard? He saw her grow into a woman, and he tried to keep her safe, even going so far as to locking her up in an attic. He felt a strong connection to her, so this is going to be really tough for him. TVLINE | Marcel is once again finding himself at odds with the Mikaelsons. Do you prefer when he’s working with them or against them? Personally, I like working against them. I like the scenes we have together, but I’d rather be against them. I’m competitive; I played a lot of sports growing up, and even on the team, we’d push our teammates to be better. … Joseph [Morgan] is a competitive guy as well, and I think we rise to the occasion when we’re both trying to sort of win the scene. I’d rather live dangerously as a character than be safe. TVLINE | Will he also resume his quest to gain control of the city as part of his revenge? It’s more about making [the Mikaelsons] answer for what they’ve done. Right now, he’s kind of in the dark about who he is in relation to the Mikaelsons, which really messes with his own perception. I don’t think he’s ready to lead if he doesn’t know who he is, so he’ll need to get some answers first. TVLINE | Both the descriptions for this week’s episode and the season finale use the term “spiral” when describing Marcel. Will we see a dangerous new side of him? [Laughs] Well, if I was choosing it, I wouldn’t use the word “spiraling.” That has a negative connotation, like someone’s spiraling out of control. … I would say he’s taking more risks and being more daring. Maybe reckless? But I feel like when you spiral, you become a danger to yourself. He’s going to be dangerous, but not to himself. TVLINE | There’s also talk of someone from Marcel’s past returning for the finale, which I’m assuming means Rebekah. What can you say about that? Sometimes in chemical reactions, an element is added, and it’s either an inhibitor or an accelerator, meaning it’ll either slow the process down or speed it up. And it can alternate, where an accelerator can become an inhibitor, because it wants to hold onto its state. So whoever this person is, they will be both of those things — they’ll accelerate the plot at times, but they’ll also inhibit certain things. The exciting thing is to see how and when that happens and what the effect is. It’s a really exciting episode. A lot of the characters go through a lot of changes. tvline.com/2016/05/13/the-originals-spoilers-davina-death-season-3-interview/

The Originals: Julie Plec blogs (Spoiler's) Sacrifice The Mikaelson family is extremely complicated, and who better to untangle that drama than Julie Plec? The Originals showrunner will blog each week’s installment throughout the season exclusively for EW. From answering burning questions to giving behind-the-scenes stories and more, this is a place for fans to hear directly from Plec about the episode they just watched. In the immortal words of Marcel Gerard, “Damn, girl!” That was one hell of an episode. Thanks for watching “Give ‘Em Hell Kid,” written by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson and directed by Jeff Hunt. The penultimate episode — a.k.a. second-to-last episode (I’m not trying to be condescending; I had no idea what it meant until I started writing television) — of any season of television is always a crapshoot. There are a lot of factors that go into it: do you want your finale to be more plot-driven or more emotional? If the latter, you need to wrap up a lot of your mythology early. Have you mapped out your story arc properly or are you scrambling to either stall or to race through as much story as you can because you’ve run out of time to tell it? How many of your recurring guest stars have booked pilots and are suddenly unavailable? I’ll admit it now, years later, the “Isobel” episode of TVD felt like a stall when we were writing it. We knew how to end the season, but we still had one episode left before the finale. It turned out well enough, but it’s not one of our most memorable. In contrast, we knew we wanted season 2 of TVD to wrap up all the crazy mythology (Sun and Moon Curse? Rings of Fire???) in the second-to-last episode, leaving the finale to be free to make big shifts in the character stories. As a result, the finale packed less of a plot punch, but boy oh boy did it shake up the lives of the characters. This year on The Originals, we knew we had to answer the questions presented by the prophecy. Who would be friend, foe, and family? We knew very early on that Marcel would take the form of the “beast” in the prophecy — be friend, foe, AND family — and we had to make sure we earned it. In a lot of ways, this episode packed enough punch to feel like a season finale. We knew we wanted half our team to avenge Davina’s death and set a massive shift in motion, while our Mikaelson family scrambled to keep each other safe at any cost. We felt like if we delivered on the mystery of the prophecy by the penultimate episode, we could spend the finale watching it all go down: Marcel as the villain. But is he wrong? As he’s said, “If you’re not a Mikaelson, you’re cannon fodder.” He was right. They are responsible for Davina’s death. Marcel has a valid point, which will make him very dangerous. Speaking of Davina, it is now time to properly say goodbye to the lovely Danielle Campbell. I remember when this beautiful 17 year old walked into the casting office on her senior year spring break. She reminded me of Katie Holmes when I met her, back when Katie was about the same age. She had poise, maturity, and intelligence, and yet she was also still a delightful, youthful, sweet, and fun young girl. We had to work around her senior prom. This year, we all got together to celebrate her 21st birthday, marveling about how she has grown into a powerhouse of a woman. You can shed tears for Davina Claire (we all have), but don’t cry for Danielle Campbell — she’s about to set the world on fire. Tidbits from Ashley and Bart: Our set decoration team always works to make our world feel as authentically New Orleans as possible, which means there are lots of lovely details that don’t necessarily make it to the screen. During Cami’s second line funeral — in addition to the dancers, mourners, musicians and tourists — there were our ubiquitous fortune-telling stands, complete with candles, crystals, and tarot cards, which is how I ended up getting talked into divining Daniel’s future between takes. For the record, he is the King of Wands, a “natural born leader,” and a “visionary.” He did not disagree with this assessment. The S.W.A.T. team Kinney enlists to take down the witches at the bodega was comprised of very real S.W.A.T. people — and our action-loving director Jeff was pretty much a kid at Christmas when they arrived on set. Needless to say, they were a bit of an intimidating bunch — at least at first (they’re all actually very nice guys!). However, we’re pretty sure there was less goofing around than usual around that night. Also to be filed under things that were very, very real: the cockroaches in Vincent’s old house. Apparently we got a bit lucky with the ones that climbed up the wall… turns out, cockroaches don’t respond to verbal commands all that well, and they pretty much do as they please. Go figure. Personally, as a former New Yorker with a bit of insect phobia, I’m hoping that next time we can locate some tiny, realistic roach robots. *Shudder* There are few things in production as challenging — and mildly disorienting — as true night shoots, especially when you’re in a new and far-flung location. For two nights in a row, the entire production worked from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. to get the pivotal bridge scenes between Klaus, Marcel, and Elijah, which is how a bunch of the crew ended up celebrating a good day of shooting with a nightcap in the lobby of our hotel… just as all the other guests were starting to line up for their pancakes. Davina’s big hero moment — ultimately her revenge on the ancestors — was, in part, inspired by the movie Terminator 2, when the character of Miles Dyson (also known as Olivia Pope’s dad!) manages to hold on just long enough to blow up the Cyberdyne labs. Of course, we’d like to think that Davina’s sacrifice was equally heroic, with just a *touch* more romance thrown in for good measure.

The Originals: Joseph Morgan talks tonight's big twist
 And the father-son drama intensifies on The Originals… Despite Klaus’ best efforts, he could not convince Marcel to forgive him. He also couldn’t stop Elijah from ripping out Marcel’s heart. Now, while Klaus grieves the loss of Marcel, what he doesn’t know is that the person he considered his son is now his greatest threat. “For me, what sets [Marcel] apart [as a villain] is all of Klaus’ issues with Mikael, he sees echoed in Marcel,” Joseph Morgan says. “And we saw that Marcel has these issues with his own father. His father in fact tried to kill him as my father tried to kill me, so there’s a lot of feeling like maybe if Klaus can’t fix himself, he can fix Marcel, he can fix what’s happened to Marcel, and so in doing so, he’ll find some peace in what’s happened to him. So I still feel like for him, it’s a very personal quest in terms of making things right with Marcel. And so that carries a lot of emotional weight in terms of them becoming enemies now.” As for the strain that Marcel’s death is putting on Klaus and Elijah’s relationship, Morgan says there’s not much time to deal with that in the finale. “We’re on this rollercoaster now, and there’s no getting off it, so there’s not really time to express that because this situation is happening with Marcel, and so that’s the only thing we’re driven by. Marcel is kind of dictating the rules now, and we’re jumping through the hoops. There’s definitely a feeling of, ‘What the hell did you do?’ But there’s not much time to sit and dispute that because of what’s happening right in front of our faces.” www.ew.com/article/2016/05/13/originals-joseph-morgan-marcel-klaus-give-em-hell-kid
