Is [spoiler] really dead?!

So, that was emotional.

Okay, he didnt say the L word, but that kiss said a lot.

We caught up withThe Originalsexecutive producer Michael Narducci to talk about what comes next after the midseason finale.

But did she have vampire blood in her system?

Did Klaus wake up in enough time to save her?

Can she be brought back?

This isThe Originals, so no death is certain.

We need to see how they respond in the midst of utmost despair.

Thats the story that were telling.

It was a pretty long process, a slow burn.

Will Elijah daggering Rebekah really solve the family portion of the prophecy?Well, thats definitely their intention.

And Rebekah says, Im a mess.

Im going to spiral out of control.

I will be an enemy to this family.

Yep, thats to be determined.

However, odds are we wont see her until this prophecy mess is over and done with.

However, that sense of justice doesnt always have a place in New Orleans.

So the question is: Is Vincent friend or foe?

And is he part of the prophecy?

But theres also the world where we might be seeing more of Finn just on his own.

Thats an interesting conflict that well want to play with.
