Joseph Morgan Teases Rebekah's Return To 'The Originals' And Klaus's Interaction With His Father

Before tonight's new episode of The Originals, Joseph Morgan, who plays Klaus Mikaelson on the series, is teasing his future interaction with his father Mikael (Sebastian Roche). The 33-year-old actor is also revealing what's going to happen when Rebekah (Claire Holt) returns for the show's holiday episodes.

"It's interesting because he's just become a father as well. So, it's sort of perfect timing for his dad to turn up now. And that's why his mother brought him back I think, because she thinks if anyone can convince Klaus to renounce his vampirism and to be put into a different body, to be a better person, then it's his father," Joseph exclusively told TV Line. "It's the person he always thought was lacking in his life, someone who can provide the attention he's always craved."

He further explained that although his mother has an agenda, his father is actually returning for the right reasons.

"Klaus's father, by the way, isn't sort of trying to be a part of any scheme or plan, he genuinely wants to connect with his son and form a relationship with him. But. We'll just have to see if there's a part of Klaus that's capable of that. I think there's potential," he told the publication.

As for the return of Klaus's sister Rebekah, it will be a much-needed reunion for the siblings. Rebekah's return will take place before the midseason break in a two-episode arc.

"There's some really sort of heartwarming stuff from the family coming back together," the England native explained. "Claire's a mate who's been on this for almost as long as I've been on it, and Daniel's been on it so there's a rapport with the three of us and with Phoebe as well, who was mates with Claire since they were mermaids back in Australia."

Joseph revealed that she wouldn't be coming alone, since she is currently responsible for Klaus's daughter, Hope.

"Last we saw her she was taking Hope away for her own safety. I can only speculate that her return may mean that they weren't as safe as they thought they were," the actor admitted.
