On the Set with The Originals' Phoebe Tonkin: Can Hayley and Klaus Get Along?

Is Hayley a dead werewolf walking on The Originals?

When the new CW series debuts, viewers will be reminded of the lack of love — or even like — that exists between Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) and her one-time one-night-stand Klaus (Joseph Morgan). When he learns they have a baby on the way, he treats Hayley even worse until a little coaxing from his brother Elijah (Daniel Gillies) helps him warm up to the idea of having an heir. Given Klaus' ever-finicky personality and his penchant for making quick decisions without considering the repercussions, will he continue to keep Hayley and the baby safe?

"Each episode is different. They go between resenting each other and protecting each other a little bit," Tonkin says. "But they have some really beautiful moments. They're both in this ... and are in situations they didn't ask for. ... [They] realize they're now the parents of something else and they can't be as selfish."
