Hullo Katie. So, I know you totes should be a TVD writer. And, I know everything is Mabekah and nothing hurts. And happy thoughts all over. I know I'm about to break the bubble, but... If Claire is a series regular in The Originals, how do you think that'll play for Matt and Rebekah's plans to go and see the world?
Okay A) If you are sucking up to me, you’re doing well! B) Mabekah is slaying me!! C) I don’t know what the heck is going to happen with the split between TO and TVD and to be quite honest, I don’t think the writers are sure either. At least, this is what it seems like to me—a humble fangirl interpretation of things. I’m sure I have a way different thought process compare to everyone else about what is going on with this whole spin-off thing. The general consensus seems to be that everyone is feeling like the writers have set up stories that will inevitably be dropped and that no one should have their hopes up for anything (I’m mostly speaking in terms of Mabekah and Klaroline shipping).
I tend to have a little more of an optimistic, let’s-wait-and-see-before-we-freak out look on things.
But back to what I was saying about how I don’t think the writers are sure about whether their going with crossover storylines. I think that they didn’t want to completely shut the door on those two stories in particular because they are pretty awesome and involved and there is still room for development. Given the ending that Mabekah had in particular, I’m sure there could still be moments with them or even a potential relationship (I mean, they’re gonna be on the road together…have you seen Rom-Com’s Matt? You guys are gonna be practically married by the time you get back.) However, on the flip side, if they do decide to move onto other stories lines with these characters, they could and will have sort-of tied everything up.
I think the one thing that could get in the way is just the real world practicality of it all. Can the actors do both shows? Will they want to? Will they be available? What will filming/production schedules be like…all that kinda stuff. However, I remember reading something a while ago that TO will also film in Atlanta, so that’s definitely a plus.
Oh my god I’m rambling now…what was the question? I hope I sort of answered it somewhere in there.
