"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 doppelganger, Tatia," 'Originals' producer Julie Plec said.

"So Nina Dobrev will be visiting 'The Originals' for a nice little storyline in our fifth episode which airs November 3." Dobrev has portrayed three characters - Elena Gilbert, Katherine Pierce and Amara - in 'The Vampire Diaries'.
'The Originals' returns on October 6.
