THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ backdoor pilot, THE ORIGINALS, has found a human occupant: with the rest of the cast playing vampires, werewolves, and witches, a rep for CW has confirmed that Leah Pipes has nabbed the first human role in the upcoming April episode of TVD that could potentially be spun off into its own show.
According to The Hollywood Reporter (who was first to report the casting), Pipes will play Camille, “a college psychology student fascinated by the study of human behavior unaware of the supernatural universe that exists around her.”
Pipes joins THE VAMPIRE DIARIES stars Joseph Morgan (Klaus), Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley), and Daniel Gillies (Elijah), as well as TVD newbies Charles Michael Davis (Marcel), Daniella Pineda (Sophie), and Danielle Campbell (Davina) in the potential spinoff.

THE ORIGINALS — the potential spinoff of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES — has cast another witch: sources confirm that Danielle Campbell has landed a role in the backdoor pilot that is set to debut as an April episode of The CW hit.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Campbell will play Davina, whose “innocence about the way the world works makes her equal parts wondrous and dangerous. She’s delicate and ethereal but not without her own demons.”
Joining Campbell in the potential spinoff are THE VAMPIRE DIARIES stars Joseph Morgan (Klaus), Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley), and Daniel Gillies (Elijah), as well as TVD newbies Charles Michael Davis (Marcel) and Daniella Pineda (Sophie).

Comments Off on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Daniella Pineda Cast in THE ORIGINALS Backdoor Pilot
There has been a lot of casting news for THE ORIGINALS (the potential VAMPIRE DIARIES spinoff which will premiere as a backdoor pilot this spring), but we now have news about our first actor/character who didn’t originate from The CW series: a CW rep has confirmed that Daniella Pineda will appear in THE ORIGINALS’ backdoor pilot as Sophie. (Naturally, Sophie isn’t just a normal girl — she’s a witch.)
According to Deadline (who was first to report the casting of Pineda), Sophie’s magic “has been silenced but not snuffed. A leader and a sexy, sharp-tongued social force, she is quietly sowing the seeds of a revolution amongst her peers.” Wonder which Original sibling she might find an ally in…
THE ORIGINALS’ backdoor pilot is set to air during THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ April 25th episode. Are you excited to see what this new show might be?
Potential THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Spinoff, THE ORIGINALS, Books Daniel Gillies

The potential THE VAMPIRE DIARIES spinoff, THE ORIGINALS — which would focus on the Original family — has booked another lead: THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Daniel Gillies. A Warner Bros. rep confirmed the Deadline report that Gillies (who has played TVD’s Elijah off-and-on since season 2) will be involved with the backdoor pilot.
Gillies joins fellow TVD castmembers Joseph Morgan (Klaus) and Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley), who already are committed to the potential spinoff.
Is there any other TVD cast members you hope make their way over if the spinoff becomes official?

The CW Plans Potential THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Spinoff; Backdoor Pilot to Air in Spring

The CW is looking to expand THE VAMPIRE DIARIES world — a rep for the network confirms that a backdoor pilot is in the works for a TVD spinoff, THE ORIGINALS, which would focus on Joseph Morgan’s Klaus.
According to Deadline, TVD newbie Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley) would also be a part of the spinoff, which would be about Klaus’ return to “the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans — a town he helped build centuries ago — and is reunited with his diabolical former protégé Marcel.”
While spinoffs traditionally make me very wary, I’m curious to see how this backdoor pilot will turn out. As of now, it’s set to air on April 25th on The CW.
What do you think? Would you watch a Klaus-centric show? Or do you hope he stays put on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES?
