As far as drama goes, “The Originals” is a show that knows how to handle that part well. We’ve seen various tense moments during the production’s first two seasons, but it looks like that might have been just the tip of the iceberg as the writers of the show have been preparing something even more spectacular for season 3. Many fans have been wondering where things would go after the ending of season 2, and while most were hoping for some kind of resolution that works out for everyone, it looks like the plot is about to become even more dramatic than before.
One of the things planned for the new season is a deepening of the conflict between Elijah and Klaus, according to reports. Some fans were hopeful for an eventual reconciliation there but it looks like that’s not coming anytime soon, possibly not in this season. They seemed to be finally getting along at the end of season 2, but in the end there is still a lot of animosity between the two characters. It’s worth noting that the conflict between the two of them has implications on various aspects of the story, so it would be interesting to see what the writers decide to do in this regard.
Elijah will actually be troubled on at least two fronts – his love life will apparently not go quite well in the new season either, as Hayley will still be dealing with the spell she was put under during the last season. The fact that she has to be in a wolf form for most of the time will obviously complicate things significantly for both of them, and Hayley in particular will not take it easy either. It will likely be a tense season for both characters, but there are rumors that something will happen towards the end – a figurative light in the tunnel is coming up to save the characters from their trouble.
It looks like Elijah will be given particular focus in this season and his character could go through some significant developments, and many fans seem happy about the idea as they had apparently been hopeful that the writers would give him a bit more focus sooner or later. His character is quite complex and there are various nuances that can still be explored, so it would be interesting to see what’s coming up for him.
From what we’re hearing, Elijah will be under a lot of pressure during this season and we will see him slowly falling apart as he is trying to hold on to old values that have no place in his current situation. This could possibly have some grim implications for the character and his future on the show, but hopefully there will be a positive development at the end to make up for all the trouble the writers are about to put him through. The character has been one of the more interesting personalities on TV lately and there is still a lot of potential in him, so we definitely expect the season to have its ups and downs for Elijah.
One of the more interesting points that will be explored about his character is the idea that he is the source of balance in the life of baby Hope, as he represents everything that Klaus is not. Klaus would obviously be a bad influence on that baby, and it’s up to Elijah to bring some order in the baby’s upbringing.
