"The Originals" Season 4 will see Hope (Summer Fontana) changing the lives of her parents, Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), Klaus (Joseph Morgan), and uncle, Elijah (Daniel Gillies), tremendously.
While speaking with TV Line, former executive producer Michael Narducci said that there will be changes in the dynamics of Hayley and Elijah's relationship, and Hope will have something to do with it. He added that Hayley and Elijah's connection will also be dramatized throughout the entire season.
To make viewers understand Hayley and Elijah's relationship better, Narducci explained that the two characters clearly love each other despite the complicated situation they are in. Elijah has so much honor and dignity for being a thousand-year-old vampire, while Hayley has only lived a mortal lifetime.
The latter has values and ethics that may not necessarily be applied to Elijah. But even though they have tons of differences, the minute their family is put in jeopardy, both Hayley and Elijah will step up their game to help and protect each other, as well as Hope.
Meanwhile, the "Originals" Season 4 still has not started yet, but there are already rumors that a Season 5 renewal may not take place. Earlier this month, Narducci left his post as executive producer of the hit The CW series in place of a better opportunity at ABC.
"The Vampire Diaries" executive producer Julie Plec has taken her place. While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Plec said that Narducci could not pass up the opportunity. She added that she will miss working with him in the coming weeks.
Plec's new post has also triggered speculations that "The Originals" Season 5 could be a go. Since "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is ending in March and "The Originals" is premiering on the same month, Plec will have more time to focus on the latter.
"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 airs Fridays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW. "The Originals" Season 4 will premiere on the network on March 17 at 9 p.m. EST.
