We had already heard that a crossover between The Originals and The Vampire Diaries was eventually coming our way, but we were shocked to learn who would be doing the crossing.

Just when you think the doppelganger shenanigans are through, Julie Plec resurrects them in the best way possible. We’ve all been wondering when Tatia would make an appearance since they’ve been name-dropping her since season 1, but now it seems the time has finally come.

That’s right. Nina Dobrev will be making a trip to the Quarter, but not as Elena, Katherine, or Amara. She will finally be playing none other than the one and only Tatia.

During an interview with Eonline, Julie Plec revealed the big news and had this to say about the event:

“There’s a lot of people that could cross over, and when we plan our crossovers, we like to think of the most clever way to integrate The Vampire Diaries mythology into The Originals mythology. There was a character’s name introduced a long time ago in season three in association with Klaus [Joseph Morgan] and Elijah [Daniel Gillies] and how they became vampires and a girl that they both loved a long time ago who was the original doppelgänger, Tatia. So Nina Dobrev will be visiting The Originals for a nice little storyline in our fifth episode which airs November 3.”

Make sure to set your DVRs, because this is one episode you won’t want to miss.

The Originals returns Monday October 6, at 8PM, and The Vampire Diaries returns Thursday October 2 at 8PM.
